City of Paris Historic Resources Survey 2003 Phase 2 - Page 2 Proposed Scope of Services: Thc proposed scope of services covers the work necessary to complete two phases of work, one focused on commercial properties, and thc second on residential properties. In each phase the services are designed to evaluate previously surveyed areas/historic districts to document changes to historic fabric since 1985. Areas not included in previous surveys or documented as part of exisfmg historic districts will be identified and, if requested, surveyed. Finally, all information gathered will be used to guide in the development of a City of Paris Preservation Plan. This proposal assumes that ARCHITEXAS will perform all of the work outlined. Opportunities for community input and participation will be explored and outlined at the PHPC's request. For example, local volunteers and student groups might be utilized for basic field survey work in order to reduce costs. However, such volunteer work would also require the addition of a training component to the survey. Phase II: Residential Task 1 - Review and Update to 2010 of the Two Residential Historic District Surveys of 1985 Task 1.1 - Field Survey Plan Based upon information gathered in Task 1, a Field Survey Plan will be developed to organize an efficient process for photographing and gathering field information on resources to be surveyed. Prior to commencement of field survey work, the ARCHITEXAS team will work with local leaders to finalize the detailed boundaries of the survey project to comprehensively include important residential resources. The survey will include adjusted boundaries if necessary. ARCHITEXAS will also work with community leaders to identify new stand-alone properties city wide, and to identify potential new City historic districts to be surveyed in future phases of work Task 1.2 - Data Digitization and Survey Tool Development The Texas Historical Commission has already entered into an electronic database the approximately 1000 survey forms completed in 1985. The THC has indicated that it will cooperate with the PHPC and ARCHITEXAS by providing the project with this data. ARCHITEXAS will develop a data collection database to store the information provided by the THC. The database will also be utilized during the field survey to collect new survey data that can then be transferred back to the THC for immediate inclusion in their database.
