BACKGROUND
At the September 9, 2008 meeting, the City Council adopted temporary measures to protect
identified and potential historic resources in the City. The City Council also directed staff to
begin the next phase of the historic preservation project to include: a historic survey of
properties, a records research of properties Citywide, and to draft a historic preservation
ordinance.
Staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Historic Preservation Consulting Services and
distributed the RFP to twenty-five firms with expertise in the field of historic preservation. Five
qualified firms that include Architectural Resources Group (Pasadena), Arroyo Resources (Los
Angeles), Christopher A. Joseph and Associates (Los Angeles), Historic Resources Group
(Hollywood), and TBA West, Inc. (Daly City) submitted responses to the RFP. The top
qualified firms were invited for interviews with staff. During those interviews firms were

competitive fee schedule for services.
