Cemetery Restoration

Collier County, Florida is soliciting quotes for stone conservation services at the Historic Christ Episcopal Church Cemetery in Immokalee through a Quick Quote process, with responses due June 26, 2026 at 3:00 PM and questions due June 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The county requires an experienced Stone Conservationist with demonstrated expertise in historical cemetery preservation — the primary qualification filter.

The scope comprises stabilization and restoration of six grave markers within the approximately 0.06-acre cemetery. Task 1 includes resetting displaced or unstable markers, repointing deteriorated mortar joints, and filling and patching masonry cracks and detached fragments. Task 2 requires cleaning of headstones and footstones using D2 cleaning solution, natural bristle brushes, and portable water sprayers without high-pressure equipment. A Ground Penetrating Radar survey by Stantec Consulting Services identified 13 possible graves within the cemetery and will inform the restoration work.
