Dear Mr. Densley,
Reference: Fresno Chinatown Hi storic District Evaluation Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) appreciates this opportunity to provide this proposal to assist the City of Fresno (City or Client) with cultural resources consulting services for the Fresno Chinatown Historic District Evaluation (Project) in the City. The proposed Project involves the survey, data collection, and evaluation of properties within the Chinatown neighborhood of downtown Fresno to inform the creation and designation of a Chinatown Historic District. A component of the proposed Project will be addressing data gaps and re-surveying properties previously included in a Chinatown Historic District survey in 2006.
Stantec has developed the following scope of work for the preparation of a Historic and Cultural Resource Survey Report for the evaluation and nomination of a potential Chinatown Historic District.
Scope of Work
Task 1. Background Research
Stantec architectural historians will complete an intensive review of pertinent previous documentation related to Fresno’s Chinatown, including previous local publications and previous survey and reporting efforts. Stantec anticipates that the City will provide any accessible copies of the previous 2005-2006 Chinatown survey documentation, including State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) letters and communications. Stantec architectural historians will coordinate with the City and the Kresge Foundation to align the survey efforts described in this proposal in support of the City’s initiative to develop a Chinatown Neighborhood Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and other revitalization initiatives.. Stantec will also complete updated research to account for data gaps from previous research and to account for new properties that are now over 50 years old. This research will be conducted at local repositories, through county agencies, and via historic newspapers and maps (Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, etc.). Stantec architectural historians will also identify key historic themes and periods of significance relevant to Chinatown through extensive background research. Types of primary and secondary sources that Stantec may utilize include, but are not limited to:
x Modern secondary sources, their references and bibliographies x Historic-period newspaper coverage from archival repositories or subscription services like Newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive.com
* /-%#))0!'*+!
EXHIBIT A
April 2, 2026
Mr. David Densley
Reference: Fresno Chinatown Historic District Evaluation x Historical topographic maps and aerial images
x Public documents, such as court, deed, and tax records x Library, archive, and museum digital collections
x Pertinent internet sources
x Historic photographs (if available)
x Building permits and other archival materials (if available) Cultural resource studies and site records on file at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center (SJVIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) will be reviewed for the Project area and proposed historic district boundaries. Other pertinent sources of information (e.g., archaeological, ethnographic, and historical literature and maps) will be consulted prior to starting fieldwork to determine the potential cultural resource sensitivity of the Project site. Background research can be completed altogether or in the phased approach outlined below:

Mr. David Densley
Reference: Fresno Chinatown Historic District Evaluation Task 2. Field Survey
Two Stantec architectural historians will complete a survey of up to 122 buildings in the Proposed Survey Area shown within the red dashed line in the attached map. There are at least 96 buildings in the study area that are over 50 years old and other buildings that may be associated with the proposed historic district, in a variety of conditions. Buildings will be subject to written and photographic documentation from different angles and with detail shots on significant architectural elements, as well as mapped onsite data with a tablet computer equipped with Environmental Systems Research Institute Collector application and an EOS Positioning System Arrow 100 Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS will provide real-time, sub-meter horizontal accuracy. Stantec architectural historians will walk the entirety of the proposed historic district bounded by Mariposa, Inyo, E, and G Streets to ensure documentation of potential contributing buildings and to document the surrounding areas to determine if the proposed boundaries of the historic district are accurate. Where possible, historians will view the interior of buildings and access exteriors of buildings behind gates, fences, etc. Stantec will rely on City staff to assist with notifications to property owners and of the proposed historic district, as well as soliciting feedback from property owners on their interest in the historic district and if they would like to provide any information on their properties. This includes putting Stantec architectural historians in contact with City partners at the Chinatown Fresno Foundation or other interested parties. While all buildings within the proposed boundary of the historic district will be documented at the same time, they will be evaluated and subject to review in the proposed phases.
Deliverables:
x Draft memorandum documenting the completion of the field survey with a summary of efforts completed in Word format.
x Final memorandum documenting the completion of the historic context development efforts and summary of results in PDF format.
Assumptions:
x Stantec assumes one memorandum in Word format documenting the field survey efforts. Stantec assumes one (1) round of review of the memorandum, Stantec will respond and incorporate edits and comments as appropriate and produce a final memorandum in PDF format.
Task 3. Historic Context Development
After the completion of background research and the field survey of the proposed historic district, Stantec architectural historians will develop a historic context that identifies significant themes, events, and trends that have shaped the Chinatown area. Development of the historic context will also include identifying period(s) of significance in Chinatown, as well as outlining key developments in the timeline, cultural influences, and historic figures. This will also include context on the architectural history and significance of buildings in the proposed historic district and their significance based on the period when they were built.
Deliverables:
x Draft memorandum documenting the completion of the historic context development efforts and summary of results in Word format.

Assumptions:
x Stantec assumes one memorandum in Word format documenting the historic context development efforts. Stantec assumes one (1) round of review of the memorandum, Stantec will respond and incorporate edits and comments as appropriate and produce a final memorandum in PDF format.
Task 4. Archaeological Assessment
Stantec will use background information, including previously documented resources and studies, Sanborn fire insurance maps, and information gathered at stakeholder meetings, to identify areas of high historic archaeological potential or locations which may indicate presence of underground tunnels. These efforts will be a desktop analysis.
In consultation with The City, Stantec will prepare the Project’s Archaeological Research Design and Treatment Plan (ARDTP) which will include historic context and mapping targeted areas of potential locations of underground tunnels.
The ARDTP may recommend traditional archaeological methods such as excavation as well as non- invasive methods, such as targeted ground penetrating radar (GPR) paired with drone-based remote sensing techniques in order identify the presence or absence of underground structures as well as their extent.
Results of GPR and drone-based studies could be applied in a variety of deliverables, including mapping, 3- D modeling, or other web-based platforms; however, implementation of these studies is not included in the effort of preparing the ARDTP as outlined in this proposal.
Implementation of recommendations in the ARDTP are not included in this proposal and would be scoped under a different scope with costs based on direction from the City.
Deliverables:
x Draft ARDTP in Word format including historic context, mapping of targeted areas of potential locations of underground tunnels, recommendations for additional archaeological assessment. x Final ARDTP including historic context, mapping of targeted areas of potential locations of underground tunnels, recommendations for additional archaeological assessment in PDF format. x GIS shapefiles of locations of known resources identified during records and background researchXXAttributes for shapefiles will include data provided by the SJVIC Assumptions:

Task 5. Survey Reporting
The background research and survey of Chinatown will culminate in the completion of detailed architectural descriptions and condition assessments of each building, development of an extensive historic context, and completion of California DPR forms, as well as a Historic Resources Inventory and Evaluation Report.
Depending on eligibility findings, DPR Forms for previously recorded buildings may be abbreviated.
Reporting will include identifying significant themes, events, and trends within Fresno’s Chinatown and assessment of each individual building’s significance and integrity. Each building will be assessed for individual significance for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and for CRHR/NRHP significance within the proposed historic district. The Survey will assist Stantec architectural historians in proposing a definitive historic district boundary and identifying which buildings are contributing and non-contributing resources to the historic district, culminating in CRHR and NRHP eligibility recommendations for the proposed historic district. Stantec architectural historians will also provide recommendations for preservation strategies based on building conditions, as well as next steps if there is a historic district designation and how the City can maintain and advertise the historic district.
Survey reporting may be completed as one consolidated document or may be completed in phases, as with the background research. Phase 1 of reporting could include half the properties within the proposed historic district and Phase 2 could include the other half, while Phase 3 could address the archaeological components of the historic district.
Deliverables:
x Draft survey reporting documenting the background research and survey efforts, as well as DPR Forms for surveyed buildings, assessment of individual buildings and contributing significance of buildings to the proposed historic district. The draft documents will be provided in Word format. x Final survey reporting documenting the background research and survey efforts, as well as DPR Forms for surveyed buildings, assessment of individual buildings and contributing significance of buildings to the proposed historic district.
