1. MPDF for African American Resources in Minneapolis: a. Kick-Off Meeting: The Consultant shall participate in a 30-minute kick-off meeting with CPED staff at the start of the project. b. MPDF Preparation: CPED staff will be responsible for the preparation and submittal to NPS of the MPDF on African American Historic Resources. CPED staff will compile the following sections of the MPDF based on the existing Context Study: A. Name of Multiple Property Listing B. Associated Historic Contexts C. Form Prepared by D. Certification E. Statement of Historic Contexts G. Geographical Data H. Summary of Identification and Evaluation Methods I. Major Bibliographical References c. Associated Property Types: The Consultant shall prepare section F. Associated Property Types, which will include Property Type Descriptions, Property Type Significance, and Property Type Requirements. This will require analysis of a variety of property types, relevant context study themes, possible reasons for significance, relevant criteria and criteria considerations, relevant areas of significance, and relevant aspects of integrity. Property Types shall be assessed across the Context Study’s seven themes, not within each theme individually, to avoid repetition. CPED staff will provide a draft outline for this section as a starting point, which the Consultant can amend. d. Research Materials: No additional in-depth historical research is anticipated to prepare this deliverable. However, the Consultant will need to use the Context Study as a basis for their work. The Consultant may wish to consult relevant MPDFs and NRHP nominations to aid in the development of registration requirements. CPED and NPS have identified the “African American Resources in Portland, Oregon, from 1851-1973” MPDF as a strong example of the desired approach for registration requirements. e. Imagery/Maps: No imagery or maps will be prepared for the MPDF. f. Drafts: The Consultant’s development of the Associated Property Types section is expected to be an iterative and collaborative process, requiring multiple rounds of review by CPED, SHPO, and NPS staff. CPED staff will coordinate concurrent 30-day reviews with SHPO and NPS and provide consolidated comments. Please see the proposed schedule in Attachment E. The Consultant shall submit 30%, 75%, and 100% drafts for review. The 30% draft shall include a complete outline and development of at least one-third of the components. This will enable reviewers to effectively assess the direction of the document to inform the rest of its development. Drafts shall be prepared in Microsoft Word with minimal formatting. Any in-text references shall follow the Chicago Manual of Style. g. Timeline with NRHP Nominations: CPED staff will submit the 75% draft of the MPDF to NPS and SHPO concurrently with one of the NRHP nomination drafts (Opportunity B) to assess the effectiveness of the document. The remaining two NRHP nominations (Opportunity C and D) will follow the 75% draft. h. Project Communication/Meetings: The Consultant shall communicate with the CPED Project Manager on a regular basis. The Consultant should plan to attend one (1) meeting with CPED, SHPO, and/or NPS at the end of each draft cycle to discuss any comments. The Consultant may propose additional meetings with CPED staff to aid in the development of the Associated Property Types section. i.
