There is an existing National Register of Historic Places Inventory of the Daniel Pratt Historic District from 1984. In 2007, a consultant performed a Prattville Historic Properties Inventory in preparation of creating the Prattville Historic District. Both reports and a map are available through http://planning.prattvilleal.gov or by emailing scott.stephens@prattvilleal.gov.

Scope of Work
The selected consultant will develop a comprehensive survey with inventory of buildings, structures, landscapes, and other resources that are or have become historically significant. The survey should focus on expanding the period of significance since the 2007 survey. The survey will include recommendations for listing to the National Register for individual properties and historic districts. The survey will also include completed Alabama Survey Forms for historic resources, including a photograph and map of each property in order to record accurately the current appearance and location of each. The survey and all required documentation must meet the standards for an intensive survey as defined by The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. The report should conform to the format described in the Alabama Historic Commission’s Architectural Survey Guidelines. Lastly, a presentation of the survey and findings from the consultant to the Historic Preservation Commission and staff (may be performed virtually if necessary).

Anticipated Timeline: Estimated start date will be mid-February 2023. Project completion must be no later than September 22, 2023.
