The City of Ellsworth is soliciting proposals from qualified historic preservation contractors and conservation firms for the phased removal, stabilization, assessment, and restoration of the historic City Hall Seal Pediment. This 91-year-old hand-carved wooden relief, located on the front gable of City Hall, requires specialized care adhering to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties and accepted standards for the preservation of historic wood. The project is structured in two principal phases, with Phase 1 focusing on the safe removal, documentation, and stabilization of the Seal. This initial phase includes pre-removal inspection, the development of a rigging plan, site protection, controlled disassembly, and transportation to a secure, climate-monitored facility for controlled drying and professional assessment. Key deliverables for the first phase include a comprehensive Condition and Assessment Report and a detailed conservation and restoration treatment plan to guide Phase 2. No permanent alterations or restoration work may occur during Phase 1 without written authorization from the City and approval through the preservation review process. The solicitation, identified as 2026-REQ-008, was posted on September 30, 2026, with a response deadline of November 27, 2026. The project is managed by the Facilities department under the direction of the Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities in Ellsworth, Maine.
