Request for Proposals - Heritage Area Management Plan Update
- This RFP had a pre-bid event.
The purpose of this project is to develop a comprehensive update to the existing Canal Place Heritage Area Management Plan, as well as to provide subprojects within the plan impacting additional areas within Allegany County, Maryland, including Downtown Cumberland, Frostburg, and additional incorporated and unincorporated areas within the County. The project involves preparation of design and redevelopment recommendations/projects for targeted areas. The plan will identify specific goals and objectives for the preservation, development, and management of the heritage area. The project will take the proposed recommendations/projects and evaluate the proposals for impacts to natural and cultural resources as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This will include cultural/heritage and natural resource surveys for identified areas. The anticipated project result will be a thorough analysis of area needs, the recommendation of additional significant historic/cultural resources through the preparation of a resource survey as well as the development of design recommendations, projects, potential natural resource mitigations, and cost estimates to improve the streetscape, parking, pedestrian access, economic and infrastructure conditions.
