The City of Independence, Missouri, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Fairmount Survey Phase One project. The intent of the RFP was to solicit proposals from qualified consultants to conduct an architectural survey of the Fairmount neighborhood and commercial district. The survey area encompasses approximately 120 acres and includes around 577 properties. The City of Independence was seeking a 36 CFR 61 qualified historian or architectural historian to conduct the survey. The RFP was later withdrawn, and the City intends to repost the solicitation to meet grant guidelines.
• The RFP was issued on August 19, 2019, with a submission deadline of September 27, 2019.
• The survey area is roughly bound by Arlington Avenue, the alley behind U.S. 24 Hwy, the Independence city limits, and Kentucky Avenue.
• The City of Independence will perform editing, hosting public meetings, and assistance with mapping.
• The RFP includes several documents, including the RFP document, a map of the survey area, and an affidavit.
