Town of Spring Hope Railroad Platform Project Architectural Design Services

The Town of Spring Hope, North Carolina is soliciting professional services from NC licensed architects and engineers to provide design services for the construction of a railroad platform to complement the historic Railroad Depot in Spring Hope. The project involves creating the design, plans, and specifications for an event space building with necessary components such as life safety, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural, finishes, and accessibility. The scope of services includes design, construction administration, and compliance with grant guidelines and deadlines. The total project budget is not to exceed $537,500. Qualified firms are required to submit statements of qualifications by August 9, 2024, and will be evaluated based on the project team's capabilities, experience with historic restorations, similar design projects, timely NCSHPO review, references, and familiarity with the geographic area. The Town of Spring Hope reserves the right to reject any or all submissions and will make the award in the best interest of the Town and project outcome.

This contract opportunity is limited to the jurisdiction of Nash County, North Carolina. The project is entirely grant funded with a required town match, but no additional funding sources are being actively sought. The Town plans to bid the platform project and the adjacent depot renovation project simultaneously to a single general contractor. The selected design team will be required to assist with bid preparation, analysis, tabulation, and permitting the project through the State Historic Preservation Office.
