Historic Structural Engineering Assessment

The City of Douglas is seeking a qualified subcontractor to conduct a comprehensive structural evaluation of a historic classroom building constructed during the WWII era. The scope of work includes a detailed condition assessment of the building’s structural components, analysis of its load-bearing capacities, and evaluation of compliance with current building codes and historic preservation standards. The contractor will be expected to identify any signs of deterioration, structural weakness, or code violations, and provide actionable recommendations that balance safety, functionality, and the preservation of the building’s historical integrity. All findings must be documented in a formal report that supports future renovation or conservation decisions. The contract is solicited under NAICS code 541330 for structural engineering services, and proposals must be submitted by August 4, 2026.

This is a subcontract opportunity with no set-aside designation, and interested parties should access the formal solicitation through the provided online portal to review full requirements and submission guidelines. The evaluation must adhere to recognized engineering practices for historic structures and include coordination with preservation guidelines where applicable to ensure the building’s cultural significance is respected alongside structural safety.
