Historic Southeast Selective Reconnaissance Level Survey

The City of Gresham Urban and Design and Planning Department is seeking a consultant to conduct a Selective Reconnaissance Level Survey of approximately 75–90 properties in the Historic Southeast neighborhood, with proposals due September 15, 2026. The project is funded through a SHPO 2026 Certified Local Government Grant with a maximum consultant services budget of $16,000.

The scope requires documentation of historical information for the surveyed properties as part of urban design and planning initiatives. The consultant must submit professional qualifications and business documentation (business license, federal and state tax identification numbers, and business designation) prior to contract execution.

The City of Gresham intends to award the contract to Architectural Resources Group based on a Notice of Intent to Award dated September 28, 2026 for RFP 2027-09. Final contract price, statement of work, and detailed terms will be negotiated following the notice of intent.

The consultant must maintain professional liability insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1 million per claim, commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1 million per occurrence, and commercial automobile liability insurance of not less than $1 million per accident, with the City named as an additional insured on general and automobile liability policies. Workers' compensation insurance compliance with Oregon Revised Statutes is mandatory. All insurance must remain in effect for two years following contract completion, with 30 days' written notice required for any cancellations or material changes.

Compensation may be structured as a lump sum, time and materials, or deliverables-based, not to exceed $16,000. Payment is due within thirty calendar days of invoice receipt and City approval, processed through the City's ACH vendor payment authorization system. The contract term, effective date, and completion deadline will be specified at execution, with provisions allowing renewal for additional one-year terms up to a maximum total duration to be agreed between parties.
