Architectural/Engineering Design Services for Transforming the Assembly Hall

The Village of Perry is seeking a qualified architectural and engineering firm registered in New York State to lead a comprehensive renovation project of the Assembly Hall at the Perry Village Hall, located at 46 North Main Street. The project involves transforming the second floor into an accessible, multi-purpose venue designed to support arts, cultural, and community activities for residents and visitors. The selected firm will provide a full range of services, including conceptual validation, schematic design, design development, preparation of construction documents, assistance during bidding, construction management, and project closeout. Given the building's historic status listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the firm should have experience with historic structures and coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The project is funded through a $2,016,000 grant from the New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative, with specific goals for minority- and women-owned business enterprise participation set at 15% each. The procurement process is open to all New York State counties, with a response deadline of October 15, 2025. The contract size is estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and the project aims to enhance community engagement through a renovated, accessible venue. The Village emphasizes the importance of MWBE participation and adherence to detailed submission protocols, with the contract anticipated to be awarded by early November 2025. The project represents a significant effort to revitalize a historic community asset, supporting local arts and cultural programming while adhering to state and federal historic preservation standards.
