Resurvey of Cottage Hill Historic District for the City of Montgomery Local Register of Historic Places

The City of Montgomery, Alabama, has issued solicitation 2026-RFP-058 for the Resurvey of Cottage Hill Historic District to update the documentation for the City of Montgomery Local Register of Historic Places. This project aims to modernize the historic preservation records for Cottage Hill, the oldest extant residential neighborhood in Montgomery, which was previously impacted by the construction of the Interstate Highway System. Because the original 1974 designation lacks comprehensive architectural survey data and a robust historic context report, the city seeks a qualified consultant to conduct an intensive-level survey, perform archival research, and develop a draft designation report to strengthen the defensibility of the district boundaries and preserve the neighborhood's historic significance. The scope of work includes completing Alabama Historic Building Survey Forms, providing photographs and maps, and performing a detailed boundary analysis. Proposals for this SLED organization project must be submitted by September 21, 2026. The procurement process is managed by the Planning department, with Joy Smith serving as the Senior Procurement Officer and Johnny Crawford as the Director. Submission requirements include business license and compliance forms, and a bid bond is required for any proposals exceeding 50,000 dollars.
