Sponsor: Boulder County, CO's Community Planning & Permitting Historic Preservation Team

Summary: The Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting Historic Preservation Team is partnering with Open Space (POS) on a two-phase initiative to more accurately and equitably document and uplift Latinx and Chicano histories through a countywide Historic Context Study and an equity-rooted outreach plan focused on unincorporated Boulder County. Phase I will include questioning what narratives have historically been centered, identifying what and who has been left out, and laying the groundwork for a community-informed approach to historic preservation.

This work directly supports Phase II - Resilient Roots, an initiative led by POS to create a long-term blueprint for inclusive interpretation of public lands and historic sites. The project is beginning with a pilot effort at Las Barracas, located on N 119th Street in Longmont - the only standing structure on Boulder County open space currently known to be directly associated with both Latinx and Japanese American communities.

The final deliverables for Phase I will be used to guide not only Las Barracas interpretation and management, but future place-based storytelling across the County at County-managed sites.

Sponsor: Preservation Maryland

Summary: Preservation Maryland is soliciting proposals from qualified firms for design-build services for the preservation of the walls of historic Fort Frederick, located in Fort Frederick State Park, Big Pool, MD (preservationmaryland.org/fortfrederick/). Owned by the State of Maryland and managed by the Maryland Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR), Fort Frederick is the centerpiece of the park in Washington County. Constructed in 1756 for the French and Indian War, it was the only stone fort built by a British colony during that time. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973 and is included in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties. The site was reactivated and used in several conflicts, then sold and farmed by a family of free African Americans. In 1922, the land was purchased by the State of Maryland for use as a recreation area. Under the State's stewardship, the Fort has seen several repair campaigns, but sections of the walls are deteriorating. The current effort is a partnership between DNR and Preservation Maryland (as project manager) to stabilize, conserve, and restore the historic walls. The RFP requires the documentation, construction design, and repair/restoration of the Fort's walls, focusing on those sections of the wall most at risk of collapse, and to provide DNR with targeted planning for work beyond the project budget.

Contact- Maggie Pelta-Pauls at mpelta-pauls@presmd.org to attend the pre-bid meeting on June 16, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET. Confirm your attendance by June 13. All inquiries or requests for clarification must be received no later than June 26, 2025, by 4:30 p.m. ET.

Deadline: July 11, 2025 by 4:30 p.m. ET
