HDC 11-11-26

The City of Bay City Historic District Commission met on November 11, 2026. The commission voted to move forward with historic preservation consultant RFP No. 27-1104, directing staff to advance the process. Members discussed consultant qualifications, proposal scoring, debarment certification, and a collaborative scope of work; deliverables and schedule would be established in a later contract. No contract award, vendor selection, or dollar amount was reported. The consultant’s work would inform preservation guidance, which would require commission recommendation and city-level adoption.

The commission also denied a certificate of appropriateness for case HDC26-30 because the applicant had not demonstrated compliance with preservation standards, and approved certificates for a theater marquee project at 611 East Midland Street (case HDC26-31) and a roof and dormer-siding project. No spending or purchasing actions were identified for those property projects.
