Lenox Community-wide Historic Preservation Plan

I. INTRODUCTIONThe Town of Lenox (Town) is seeking proposals from qualified historic preservation consultants to undertake an intensive-level, community-wide survey of cultural and architectural resources in the town of Lenox. This Request for Proposals (RFP) stipulates the procedures and requirements to be used by the Town in its selection for consulting services. The project will be divided into four phases, to be completed over a nine-month period:

PHASE I—Identification of historic resources available (including but not limited to existing documents, stakeholders, elected boards and officials, bylaws and community policies) for the project and development of methodology;

PHASE II—Conduct outreach to collect input from local officials through interviews, conduct public forum to seek broader input, and prepare text explaining overall historic preservation issues and challenges in Lenox. Include survey of historic resources within Lenox.

PHASE III—Develop recommendations based on findings to promote and encourage historic preservation of resources.

PHASE IV—Production and delivery of final plan and accompanying documents to the Town of Lenox.

The Town will evaluate all timely proposals to ensure that all required submittals have been included in responses and that all responses meet the Minimum Evaluation Criteria. Proposals that are deemed to be complete shall be presented to a selection committee consisting of the Purchasing Agent and members of the Lenox Historical Commission and reviewed/ranked using the Comparative Evaluation Criteria. The top-ranked proposals will also be reviewed by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) before an award can be made. Activities will commence immediately upon MHC concurrence with the Town’s selection of a proposal and issuance of a Notice to Proceed. Proposers must provide fee amount for these four tasks in their proposal. The Town has established a budget not to $25,000.00.

All questions regarding this Request for Proposal must be received by the Town no later than August 23rd, 4:00 PM on and addressed to the attention of Gwen Miller, Land Use Director, Town of Lenox and may be e-mailed, and if e-mailed must be marked in the subject line “RFP Communitywide Historic Preservation Plan ” to [email protected].

II. PROJECT AREAThe project area will include the town of Lenox, Massachusetts.

III. FUNDING SOURCESThe Project is being funded in part by the Town of Lenox, and in part through a Massachusetts Historical Commission Survey and Planning Grant, with Federal funds from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.

IV. PROJECT OBJECTIVESSee Attachment A for the complete Scope of Work.

The historic resources in Lenox are largely what make Lenox unique and special as a place. Until this point, there has not been a comprehensive strategy in place to inform decision making at any level. This has placed the local historic entities and the Town at a disadvantage: all parties are left to react to save or preserve resources, when the most effective and efficient allocation of time and resources would happen with a comprehensive historic preservation plan. This will place the Town in a pro-active position with priorities and goals to guide all parties. The communitywide historic preservation plan will guide entities such as the Community Preservation Committee and Board of Selectmen when determining funding levels and budget priorities. Incorporating a planning process into the development of the plan will also identify actionable strategies and highlight different or innovative strategies available to the community.

It is the Town’s goal to achieve the following through the development of its Communitywide Historic Preservation Plan:

1. Further identify buildings, sites and structures of national, regional and local historic significance and their level of protection;

2. Rank these resources in order of their historic significance and level of preservation needs;3. Identify and recommend tools and resources to aid in the preservation of listed assets;4. Develop an action plan to guide the local Historical Commission, Historic District Commission,

Board of Selectmen, Planning Board and Community Preservation Committee in decision making that will further historic preservation through the community;

5. Help spread awareness in the community of how important our cultural and historic resources are and the benefits of historic preservation.

The final plan will be shared with local, public decision makers as well as private and non-profit properties of historic and cultural significance such as The Mount, Ventfort Hall, Boston University

of 19

mailto:[email protected]

Tanglewood Institute. Hard copies will be shared, but the Town will also make available an electronic version on the Town website.

The project will entail four (4) phases: Background, Outreach, Recommendations and Final Plan.

Phase II and Phase III will each contain one (1) public forum.

Phase II will entail input from local elected and appointed officials and key decision makers within the community, as well as local staff. Stakeholders in the community such as neighborhood groups, historic homeowners, cultural and historic institutions within Lenox, and other such groups will be interviewed by the consultant. The public forum in Phase II will provide an opportunity to share findings to date and receive input from the public in terms of historic preservation priorities and needs.

While Phase I-II will be composed of fact finding and information gathering, Phase III will provide opportunity for the consultant to develop targeted recommendations to the Town of Lenox and develop an action plan. One (1) public forum in this phase will provide an opportunity for the public and stakeholders to prioritize items in the action plan and brainstorm implementation strategies and partnerships.

At the beginning of each phase, the consultant, LPC and MHC staff will meet to review work completed and strategies for completing the next phase.
