Scope of Services to be completed:
The Rural Structures Survey will be conducted in three (3) phases with milestones and deadlines for the completion of each phase. A detailed description of each phase and the work to be completed is outlined in the proposal to follow. All work performed shall be done independently of the Will County Land Use Department and the Will County Historic Preservation Commission. The contracted party shall furnish all labor and components necessary to complete each phase of the Survey. The Will County Land Use Department and the Will County Historic Preservation Commission shall be responsible solely for performing preliminary review and providing comments, as needed, on all drafts and documents leading toward the completion of the final report.
A Rural Structures Survey completed in 1988 identified approximately 21,000 structures throughout unincorporated Will County. In Wilmington and Jackson Townships, 210 sites collectively (approximately 1,050 buildings and structures) were surveyed. However, it should be noted that due to the extensive incorporation of land throughout the County, coupled with a almost 21-year time-span since the completion of said Survey, the number of eligible sites and structures may have changed significantly in Wilmington and Jackson Townships. The survey shall also include an inventory of several sites inclusive of farmstead and military structures within Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie (approximately 220 structures).
In recognition of the dramatic landscape changes taking place in the County, the County started Phase I of its goal to resurvey the entire County in 1999. Phase I included the Northwest section of the County and the townships re-surveyed were Wheatland, Plainfield, Lockport, DuPage, and Homer Townships. Phase 2 included New Lenox, Green Garden, Manhattan, Frankfort, Joliet, and Troy Townships. The Will County Historic Preservation Commission has selected Wilmington and Jackson Townships as the next townships to survey in the continuation of its Rural Structures Survey.
