Historic site project manager

Greenville County, South Carolina, is seeking a Historic Site Project Manager through Request for Proposals (RFP) #22016 to provide professional project management services for rehabilitation of historic sites, specifically targeting Slater Hall Community Center and Campbell's Covered Bridge. The selected vendor will be responsible for supervising rehabilitation projects, demonstrating comprehensive understanding of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, and presenting progress information to the Greenville County Historic Preservation Commission. The county desires a one-year contract with potential for four additional annual renewals, with proposals due on November 3, 2021, at 3:30 pm and a tentative award date of November 10, 2021. Evaluation criteria are equally weighted at 20% across five categories: responsiveness to RFP, previous project experience, cost, references, and understanding of rehabilitation standards. Prospective contractors must submit detailed proposals including company background, qualifications, certifications, references, recent project history, and a comprehensive project scope understanding. Required deliverables include frequent progress reports and adherence to specific restoration recommendations outlined in the Slater Hall Inspection Report.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, but requires vendors to comply with the Illegal Immigration Reform Act and Prison Rape Elimination Act. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $1,000,000 per occurrence for Comprehensive General Liability, Automobile Liability coverage, and Statutory Worker's Compensation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract includes provisions for hourly rate project management services and unit pricing for deliverables. The sample contract indicates the agreement will be effective from the Notice to Proceed date until June 30, 2022, with potential extension options. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and the opportunity appears to be open to qualified professional project management firms with demonstrated historic preservation expertise. The contract emphasizes integration with existing county preservation standards and requires legal compliance with South Carolina regulations, with all potential disputes to be handled in Greenville County courts.
