Statehouse Foundation Preservation Project
Deadline: January 31, 2025
Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation (JRF) seeks professional services to improve the current conditions and interpretation of the Statehouse complex west of the Archaearium Museum on Jamestown Island. Work to be completed includes the survey, condition assessment, and preservation of the 17th-century brick foundations currently capped with concrete, improvement of drainage, landscaping, and ADA site accessibility. Architects, Landscape Architects, and Engineers are encouraged to apply. JRF also requests a qualified individual, Site Supervisor, to manage and coordinate with JRF archaeologists and sub-contractors. The project area is a sensitive archaeological site and any ground disturbance requires consultation with archaeologists before work proceeds.
Preservation Virginia is committed to enhancing and expanding contracting opportunities for small (including micro businesses), women owned, and minority owned (SWaM) businesses as well as businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. SWaM businesses are encouraged to reply to the RFP for services. Preservation Virginia further requires the selected prime contractor to submit a “Supplier Procurement and Subcontracting Plan” to show all subcontractors the contractor intends to use for direct performance of the contract. Such plans shall identify all planned utilization of (i) small businesses, (ii) subcategory of small businesses, (iii) small women-owned businesses, (iv) small minority-owned businesses, and (v) small service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. For RFPs, small business participation may be an evaluation criterion.
The purpose and intent of this RFP is to solicit proposals for a term contract for such professional architectural and/or professional engineering services to be provided.
