Relocation of Dr. Jordan Wombwell House

Greensville County, Virginia is seeking a contractor to purchase and relocate the Dr. Jordan Wombwell House for a nominal fee of $1, with the primary objective of preserving and restoring the historic structure. The procurement opportunity requires an offeror capable of relocating the home from its current site at their own expense, with the town's explicit desire for the structure to be comprehensively restored and repurposed. The contract opportunity was posted on July 6, 2016, with a response deadline of August 5, 2016, providing potential bidders approximately 30 days to develop and submit their relocation and restoration proposals. The procurement appears to be a unique property transfer and historic preservation initiative that demands specialized skills in structural moving, historic restoration, and potential adaptive reuse of a historic residential property. Key qualifications would likely include demonstrated experience in historic structure relocation, restoration expertise, and the financial and technical capacity to successfully complete the entire project.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly outlined in the provided contract opportunity information. The procurement does not indicate preferred vendor types, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, or specific integration needs with existing infrastructure. Without additional context, the award value appears to be minimal, with the primary transaction being the $1 purchase price of the property. The successful offeror would be responsible for all relocation and restoration costs, which could potentially represent a significant investment depending on the structure's current condition and the complexity of moving and rehabilitating a historic residential building. Potential respondents would need to conduct thorough due diligence to assess the full scope of work and associated costs before submitting a proposal to Greensville County.
