Specifically, the city is looking for professional Architectural Historians who can prepare a comprehensive inventory of historic resources along the designated section of Ocean Avenue. The project is being funded through a State of Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office Survey and Planning Grant, which underscores its cultural and historical significance. The solicitation opened on August 23, 2023, at 9:15 AM EDT and will close on September 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. A vendor Q&A period is available from August 23, 2023, at 9:30 AM EDT until September 6, 2023, at 12:00 PM EDT, during which potential respondents can seek clarification or additional information. The primary contact for this opportunity is Joshua Montague, located at 13 Masonic Street in New London, CT.

The solicitation is open to all vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, only professional Architectural Historians with demonstrable experience in conducting similar historic resource surveys will be seriously considered for the project. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation does not specify a total estimated project value, and no line items are defined in the current documents. Payment terms are set at Net 45 Days, and the project will be awarded based on the respondent's proven expertise in historic resource inventorying. Two key documents are included with the solicitation: the main RFPQ document and an Addendum 1. While the specific funding amount from the State of Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office Survey and Planning Grant is not disclosed, the project represents an opportunity for qualified architectural historians to contribute to the documentation and preservation of historic resources in New London County.
