[MassHistPres] Mid Century Modern Movement in Lexington - Request for Proposals

[M Fenollosa]

The Town of Lexington is seeking a qualified historic preservation 
consultant or consultants to prepare a National Register context and one 
National Register district nomination for properties associated with the 
theme "Mid-century Modern Movement in Lexington, Massachusetts." As you 
may know, Lexington has one of the largest concentrations of Mid-Century 
homes and neighborhoods in the Commonwealth, including our nationally 
recognized Six Moon Hill, Peacock Farms and Five Fields neighborhoods. 
This project is the beginning of a townwide study of Mid-Century Modern 
neighborhoods and buildings, and entails the preparation of a context 
for identification, evaluation, and, potentially, registration of 
historic resources associated with the Mid-Century Modern movement in 
Lexington. The project will also identify neighborhoods and individual 
properties that represent the defining characteristics of this movement 
as determined by the context study, and analyze certain of these 
neighborhoods and buildings for inclusion in the National Register of 
Historic Places, as well as substantiate a baseline for further study 
and the preparation of future nominations to the National Register of 
Historic Places for properties that are determined to meet these 
defining characteristics. In addition to the context, the project will 
include a single National Register Historic District nomination.  
Proposals should be submitted not later than August 6, 2010.

Interested parties should contact the town's procurement officer, Jim 
McLaughlin, at jmclaughlin at lexingtonma.gov for a complete copy of the 
Request for Proposals.  Please contact me directly if you have any 
questions.

Many thanks,

Marilyn Fenollosa
