SUBJECT: CLG Grant: Design Review Training - Consultant Selection
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has awarded the City a $10,000 Certified
Local Government (CLG) grant to conduct a design review training program. This
program would be held in connection with the design guidelines being developed for the
historic districts. The City match of $10,000 is budgeted in the new Historic District
Public Improvement Program.
Requests for proposals were distributed to eligible historic preservation firms to provide
design review training. The Durrant Group was the only respondent. Since the City has
hired the Durrant Group to prepare the design guidelines, the City's consultant selection
committee and the SHPO concur that the Durrant Group should be retained as the
consultant for the design review training program.
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution that awards the
contract for the design review training program to the Durrant Group in an amount not to
exceed $20,000.
