The City of Fredericksburg, the county seat of Gillespie County, is a Texas Hill Country destination approximately 70 miles from San Antonio and Austin. The city is a common starting point or destination for tourists visiting the Texas Hill Country. Tourism is a year- round industry with approximately 1.5 million visitors coming to patronize the historic sites, museums, vineyards/wineries, retail, restaurants, festivals and agri-tourism festivals and farms. The City has 23 hotels and over 400 bed & breakfast lodging establishments and is now in the development phase of a Hotel Conference Center. The estimated population of 11,000 has grown about 50% since 1990. The Fredericksburg Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places. SOQ’s received past the aforementioned deadline will not be considered. The City will evaluate SOQ’s and make a selection based on the firm’s technical ability, experience, and ability to perform the work. The City will not provide compensation or defray any costs incurred by any firm related to the response to this request. The City reserves the right to negotiate with any and all persons or firms. The City also reserves the right to reject any or all SOQ’s, or to accept any deemed most advantageous, or to waive any irregularities or informalities in the SOQ’s received, and to revise the process schedule as circumstances arise.

Statements should be received by the City by February 2, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. Request for Qualifications Fort Martin Scott Master Plan – Fredericksburg, Texas 2. CONSULTANT SELECTION The selected consultant will be requested to develop a master plan for Fort Martin Scott. Previous master planning was completed in 2003 but was not finalized. A Preservation Plan was completed in 1983. These documents will be provided to be incorporated into the official master plan. The Texas Historical Commission (THC) is the state agency for historic preservation. The Fort Martin Scott Master Plan must adhere to THC guidelines for preservation of its architectural and archeological features. It will be necessary to note the State Antiquities Landmark designation of the site along with the associated permitting process for permanent new construction, ground disturbance, and all historic rehabilitation and restoration activities at Fort Martin Scott. Located at 1606 E Mains Street across from Gillespie County Law Enforcement Center, Fort Martin Scott was the first U.S. Army outpost built on the Texas Frontier. The historic site contains one original garrison building, which has been restored, one late 1800s old farm shed and three reproduction garrison buildings. The old military fort was in operation from 1848 to 1853 by the U.S. Army. Texas Rangers used the site as a camp, both before and after military occupation. During the Civil War, the Confederate States Army occupied the fort for a brief period. Later abandoned and then purchased and used by the Braeutigam family as a farm for 90 years, the property was purchased by the City of Fredericksburg in 1959. Fort Martin Scott is currently operated as a self-guided tour of the historic site with volunteer site hosts. There is a Fort Martin Scott Advisory Board appointed by City Council and a Friends of Fort Martin Scott volunteer organization which organizes special events at the Fort. Qualified firms must evidence experience in the following areas: 1. Ability to take the vision of the City and Fort Martin Scott Advisory Board and create a feasible master plan based upon this vision. 2. Ability to develop a master plan that is implementable in stages. 3. Ability to engage key stakeholders in creating a plan that meets their needs. 4. Experience in long- range planning including the development of master plans for historic sites The Historic Site Master Plan should include: 1. Vision Statement: This should be a short and concise statement of the purpose and goals of the organization regarding the preservation and use of the historic site (which is not necessarily the overall mission of the organization). An important part of creating the vision statement is recognizing and incorporating within it aspects of why the property is historically important—its historic context—and avoiding objectives that conflict with preservation principles. 2. Executive Summary: This should summarize the property’s history and importance, why the Historic Site Master plan is being created, goals for the use of the property, information about the administering organization, and other important information as applicable. While the executive summary is at the beginning of the plan document, it should be one of the last things written so that all aspects of the plan contents can be considered before deciding what should be included. The Executive Summary should be engaging, informative, easy to read by Request for Qualifications Fort Martin Scott Master Plan – Fredericksburg, Texas the general public, and relatively short—no more than two pages. Excerpts from the Executive Summary and the Vision Statement might also provide text for public relations or educational tools as pamphlets or flyers about the property. 3. Historical Overview: This should be a highly detailed history of the site, its historical development, its historic features, buildings and structures, and a chronicle of important people or events associated with the property. If copious amounts of information about the history of the site are available, then a summary history may be more appropriate, with reference to a separate historic overview document. An appropriate way to organize and develop a historic overview is to complete a Historic Property Information Form (HPIF) as part of nominating the property for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Applying for listing in the National Register should be an objective within the master plan and when achieved, the nomination and announcement should be incorporated in the master plan document as well. 4. Organization Overview and Goals and Objectives for Use of the Historic Site: This section should include a detailed history of the administering organization and also explain thoroughly how goals and objectives for the use, care, and management of the historic site were determined and how decisions were made. These goals and objectives should be the logical result of a decision-making process that collected and considered such relevant information as: preliminary ideas regarding potential site usage, identification of historic resources on the site and their preservation needs, the historic context of the site, including association with important events or people, identification of issues beyond the immediate control of the organization and options for addressing these issues, costs of implementing a goal or objective, and priorities. Again, while this section of the Historic Site Master Plan is toward the beginning of the document, its final form may be dependent on information that follows. 5. Development Plan: This section should be the primary guidance tool for implementing the goals and objectives for the physical development of the historic site. Initially, the development plan should provide a general and broad perspective of what will be occurring to the property over time. As related individual projects are planned and implemented, they should be incorporated or referenced in the development plan section of the master plan. The development plan should include a site plan identifying historic resources, planned new construction, and other site alterations. It should also include, as they are developed, rehabilitation plans for the historic resources including whether buildings should be reconstructed. Coordination with the THC Archeology and Architecture Divisions will be necessary to ensure that any proposed development plans conform with state antiquities laws and guidelines. 6. Preservation Plan: This section should be the primary tool for determining the appropriate treatment of the historic resources on the property. A preservation plan characterizes and evaluates historic resources, provides the necessary information to responsibly deal with existing issues and concerns about the resources and plan for their future, guides implementation of recommendations resulting from the plan, and acts as a reference source. Incorporated within the preservation plan should be acknowledgement of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Request for

  • Notes and Documents the Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift
    Notes and Documents The Texas Frontier in 1850: Dr. Ebenezer Swift and the View From Fort Martin Scott by: CALEB COKER AND JANET G. HUMPHREY The Texas Frontier in 1850 was guarded by a line of army forts ranging from Fort Worth to Fort Duncan near Eagle Pass. With the end of the Mexican War, settlers had begun pushing toward the Texas interior, and troops became available to furnish new towns some measure of protection from raiding bands of Indians. 1 Fort Martin bScott, established between the towns of Fredericksburg and Zodiac in December 1848, was one such military post. The letter reproduced here, from the fort's physician, provides a marvelous glimpse of frontier Texas in 1850. It includes candid descriptions of a farm in Austin, life at the fort, and relationships with the local Indians. Native Americans living in the vicinity of Fort Martin Scott belonged to a number of tribes. The least predictable and most feared, however, were the Comanches. White settlements disrupted their wide-ranging lifestyle and threatened the abundant supply of game. In the mid-1840s their primary tactic was to attack settlers in small raiding parties and then vanish, often taking with them horses and other livestock. These hit-and-run assaults terrorized those on the frontier for decades.2 The Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas had purchased 10,000 acres of forested land just north of the Pedernales River on Barron's Creek in December 1845. By the following May, settlers began arriving from New Braunfels at the town site named Fredericksburg.
