Notice of Intent to award without competition. Unique qualifications. Nicodemus Historical Society has intimate knowledge of the history of Nicodemus and has recently worked closely with consultants preparing the National Historic Landmark Update and therefore has firsthand knowledge of the first phase of this C.A./project: identifying the locations for the Waysides. The Historical Societyуs photographic and written word collections will be primary sources for each wayside location research. The Society also is performing the last of 60 oral histories (via a separate C.A.) which will be rich in information pertinent to this project.
