RFP 26-909 | Survey of Harvard Hills Historical District | Issue Date: 1/5/2026

OVERVIEW AND GOALS:

With this Request for Proposal (RFP), we are searching to secure professionally

qualified individuals to complete an intensive-level architectural/historic survey of a

portion of the Harvard Hills Historic District. The boundaries of the Phase I survey

area are shown in the attached maps. The purpose of the survey is to determine if the

district is still eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, to

document properties within the district, and to propose possible changes to the

district boundaries. The project is funded by a federal matching grant-in-aid from the

U.S. Department of the Interior’s Historic Preservation Fund, administered by the

Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (OK/SHPO). We enthusiastically look

forward to receiving your proposal.

II. BACKGROUND:

The Harvard Hills Historic District was determined eligible for inclusion in the

National Register of Historic Places (“National Register”) in 2014. The City of

Tulsa intends to survey the entire district to identify contributing and non-

contributing resources within the district, beginning with this Phase I survey. The

survey will provide documentation sufficient for an update to the National

included in this phase of the survey. Shown in the attached map, the Phase I

survey area comprises of the area bounded by Haskell Street, the east side of

Knoxville Avenue, the south side of Admiral Court, and the west side of Harvard

Avenue.
