1. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:

The State of Tennessee, Tennessee Historical Commission (THC) issues this Request for

Information (“RFI”) for the purpose of gathering information on vendor services and qualifications

for historic preservation work. We appreciate your input and participation in this process.

2. BACKGROUND:

The THC’s State Historic Site (SHS) Program administers 19 properties of historical significance

across the state of Tennessee. One of the responsibilities of the SHS Program is to administer

the maintenance and repair of the structures on those properties. These properties are inherently

historically significant and require specialized skillsets to make maintenance repairs. These

repairs also require adherence to the National Park Service Preservation Briefs and Technical

Preservation Notes. The type of experience needed to adhere to these guidelines includes but is

not limited to window restoration, finishing carpentry, linseed oil and other historic painting

knowledge, historic roofing material knowledge, historic brick masonry/tuckpointing knowledge,

and stone working knowledge. The THC is seeking information on services, qualifications, and

availability for vendors to fulfill ongoing maintenance requests and historic preservation needs to

all 19 properties across the state.
