About this opportunity

The City of Cortez, Colorado has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consultants to document the previously unrecorded Cortez Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp, which operated from 1939 to 1941. The project requires comprehensive archaeological and historical documentation, encompassing three primary tasks: in-field artifact analysis of five distinct artifact concentrations, archival and historic research, and preparation of a final report. Respondents must have at least one team member with an archaeological background and demonstrate the ability to meet the Secretary of Interior's Professional Qualification Standards. The RFP mandates specific deliverables, including a draft and final survey report, updated site forms, a public presentation, and electronic GIS site and survey data to be submitted to the City of Cortez, Cortez Historic Preservation Board, and History Colorado. Proposal submissions are due by September 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS) portal. All questions must be submitted via email to Helen West no later than September 2, 2025, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time, with responses distributed to all participating firms.

The contract, funded by a $22,736 grant from History Colorado, allocates $18,071 for research, fieldwork, lab work, survey forms, reports, and related expenses, with an additional $4,665 reserved for future graphic design and brochure production. The City actively encourages proposals from Woman-owned (WBE), Minority-owned (MBE), and Veteran-owned (VBE) businesses, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The contract has a potential duration of up to two years, with the possibility of extension to apply for additional grant funds. Respondents will be evaluated based on their archaeological expertise, proposed methodology, and ability to comprehensively document the historical site. The project represents an opportunity for qualified consultants to contribute to the preservation and understanding of a significant historical site, with a focus on detailed documentation and professional archaeological standards.
