The CITY-COUNTY of BUTTE-SILVER BOW, MONTANA, on behalf of the CITY-COUNTY’s Community Development Department, hereby issues this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) seeking professional services to assist in developing a Subgrant Program for the FY2023 Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant funding received by Butte-Silver Bow in September of FY2025.

The intent of this National Park Service program is to provide funds to the recipient (referred to as prime grantee) that is regranted to projects that have been selected through a locally administered competitive process. Prime grantees determine the focus and criteria for their subgrant program and develop their own application process and criteria for choosing which buildings will receive subgrants.

Subgrants will be made available to owners of buildings that are currently contributing to the Butte-Anaconda National Historic Landmark District (NHLD). Specifically, subgrants will be targeted to income-producing commercial properties with specific activities in mind, including safety and code violation upgrades, facade improvements, mechanical and fire suppression systems, and accessibility. Successful applications will clearly show how the subgrant program meets the economic development needs of the NHLD, by creating a viable funding source for projects that are stagnant due to lack of capital and/or inability to receive financing due to outdated building systems.

The purpose of the BSB Historic Revitalization Grant Program Coordinator position is to
assist the BSB Historic Preservation Officer (and other BSB Staff) in the development of the Butte-Silver Bow Historic Revitalization Project subgrant program. Telework option is available for this position, depending on experience. This contract will be billed hourly by the successful candidate. Available funding is not to exceed $15,000.00.
