The City of Dubuque, Iowa is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from qualified professional consulting firms or teams to develop Historic & Architectural Surveys for Deereville and Voelker Highlands Neighborhoods. The investigation of neighborhoods at Voelker Highlands and Deereville will for the first time look at 20 ^th Century housing developments. These neighborhoods have the opportunity to tell stories we have not yet told in Dubuque and it builds upon the work of telling a more complete history of Dubuque.

As we take on an intensive architectural and historical survey of the Voelker Highlands and Deereville neighborhoods, the process will engage current and past residents, through education about the neighborhood and collecting information about the structures and families that lived there. The project RFP shall reference standards for Intensive Surveys as outlined in the SHPO's draft Guidelines for Historic Architectural Surveys in Iowa.
