8 6 LYCOMING COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONSULTANT Lycoming County, PA JMT worked with Lycoming County and the City of Williamsport, Pennsylvania to update their existing historic resource inventory and to provide guidance for future historic preservation activities as part of the County s ongoing Master Plan efforts. JMT Architectural Historians conducted background research in order to establish a brief historical context of each of the three settlements targeted for survey: Williamsport, Jersey Shore and Muncy. This phase included research through the PHMC, county repositories, libraries and local museums and historical societies. From this research, historic contexts were developed for each survey area. JMT s Architectural Historians used their adaptable, portable survey application to complete reconnaissance level surveys of three communities in Lycoming County: Williamsport, Jersey Shore, and Muncy. After completing these surveys, JMT provided Lycoming County with a list of resources that warrant further study and documentation as the next part of their planning efforts. Additionally, our Architectural Historians assessed existing historic preservation regulations and provided recommendations to the county based on their specific goals, while prioritizing the preservation of the best examples of surveyed historic resources. Owner: Lycoming County Planning & Community Development 48 West Third Street Williamsport, PA Contact: Jenny Picciano Community & Economic Development Planner jpicciano@lyco.org Project Information: Fee: $31,500 Completed: On-going Using our customizable survey application not only allows for real time data transmission to streamline field work but also provides the County with a manageable database, interactive map of inventoried historic resources and photographs and eliminates the need for paper forms.

11 9 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, APPROACH & SCHEDULE UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE The Raleigh Historic Development Commission, Inc. (RHDC) and the City of Raleigh is requesting qualifications from qualified historic preservation professionals to update the architectural survey of Raleigh by recording properties within the city limits, with a focus on mid-20th-century neighborhoods and areas annexed since 2006 when the last update was completed. The project is to be conducted in two phases: I) reconnaissance and planning; and II) intensive survey and presentation of properties for placement on the State Study List for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The RHDC and the City of Raleigh have been awarded a federal Historic Preservation Fund grant from the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior and administered through the State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) of the North Carolina Office of Archives and History for the purpose of conducting this survey. JMT will provide various services throughout the project including research, field work, data collection, attending public meeting(s), and a final report. The key to successfully completing this project is knowledge of the project scope and a full understanding of all applicable local, state, and federal requirements for administering local preservation guidelines and programs. JMT s Cultural Resource staff are qualified for the positions that they hold, as outlined in the Secretary of the Interior s Professional Qualifications Standards (36 CFR 61). All survey and analysis will adhere to guidelines set forth by the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service (NPS) including: Secretary of the Interior s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation, including standards for identification, evaluation, and registration National Register Bulletin 24, Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office Guidelines We are confident in our abilities to deliver a quality product to the RHDC and the City or Raleigh in full-compliance with their needs and the requirements of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office. TECHNICAL APPROACH The RFP details specific deliverables that will be submitted through this agreement, though JMT understands that the final scope of work may be subject to negotiation. The following section details each of the required items and JMT s proposed approach to each. Phase I. After receiving notice to proceed, JMT will begin work by meeting with representatives from the RHDC and the City of Raleigh. At this time, we will discuss the scope of work, the methodology of our systematic approach to documenting each resource as well as finalize the project schedule. This preliminary meeting will expedite the survey and analysis of information for the subsequent tasks. JMT will send our SOI-Qualified Architectural Historians to present the project to the community at a RHDC-sponsored meeting. JMT Architectural Historians will conduct a windshield and reconnaissance survey resulting in information for three groupings of geographic areas. These areas are laid out below as they are in the RFQ Page 8 (b-d). Page 9 I City of Raleigh, North Carolina

12 10 Windshield and reconnaissance surveys of the post-2006 annexation areas. The purpose of this survey is two-fold: to update existing files with photographs and database records and; to identify properties that have not been recorded and now merit survey. Currently 11 properties have survey files and it is expected that few properties will be identified for new survey. Windshield and reconnaissance survey of the following neighborhoods currently on the Study List: Caraleigh, Ridgewood, Fairway Acres, Lyon Park, and Forty Acres. The survey of this area will result in updating the survey file for each neighborhood will be updated with digital photography of representative houses and complete population of the database record. The updates will include an evaluation of continued potential National Register eligibility. Windshield and reconnaissance survey of the following neighborhoods that were surveyed at the reconnaissance level during the survey update of Raleigh: Brentwood, Budleigh, East Mordecai, Fallon Park, Fuller Heights, Oakdale, Parkland/Hertford Village, Ralina, Starmount, Westover/Mount Vernon, and Woodcrest; as well as Colinwood (now known as King Charles) and Gatewood, Rollingwood, and Windsor Park (now altogether known as East Raleigh). The survey of this area will result in updating the survey file for each neighborhood will be updated with digital photography of representative houses and complete population of the database record. The updates will include an evaluation of continued potential National Register eligibility. JMT s Architectural Historians will conduct the survey in accordance with the state guidelines one of two ways. As we have done with other large scale surveys, we can use our fully customizable portable survey application to complete the survey. This application will be set up using GIS, and will be prepopulated with existing parcel data for the City. Each field will be customized to meet the requirements outlined in the Survey Manual. Photos of each property can be taken directly from the application and linked to each parcel. This method provides a complete ESRI shapefile or geodatabase that can easily be integrated with the City s online mapping applications and NCSHPO s HPOWEB GIS Service. This approach saves time by removing the need to document data on paper forms in the field and entering the data later. Using our customizable digital survey application not only allows for real time data transmission to streamline field work but also provides the City and RHDC with a manageable database and interactive map of inventoried historic resources and photographs. Should the City prefer our portable application not be used, JMT and the City will determine the best method for data collection during our kick off meeting when we discuss methodology.

13 11 At the completion of the survey, JMT will complete a written report on findings and the Scope of Work and Methodology for Phase II. To close out this Phase, JMT will present findings at a community meeting sponsored by RHDC. Phase II. During Phase II, JMT Architectural Historians will conduct the following intensive-level surveys: The annexation area properties newly identified in Phase I One or more of the neighborhoods addressed in Phase I and evaluated as potentially eligible for listing in the National Register. The selection of the neighborhood(s) shall be made in consultation with the RHDC and the SHPO. Intensive survey will produce an inventory list for incorporation in a National Register nomination to be prepared in a subsequent project. It is estimated that a maximum of 300 properties will be intensively surveyed. Intensive survey will include field work, research, preparation of database records from which an inventory list can be generated, and preparation of paper files including report forms and proof sheets of digital photographs. At the completion of the surveys, JMT will present at a North Carolina National Register Advisory Committee meeting of properties for placement on the Study List and possibly at a community meeting to present community based feedback from the prior community meeting.
