Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an agreement with SEH Inc, for professional design services for improvements to Bayfront Park for a total not to exceed $44,200. SEH’s proposal is attached as Exhibit B.
Bayfront Park requires improvements to better accommodate existing use and to support anticipated additional use from the new Pier B hotel complex which will be connected to Bayfront Park via a developer-funded footbridge and walkway. The scope of design work includes redesign and construction of an asphalt/curbed parking lot for more efficient access and controlled parking, new trails and fencing adjacent to the parking lot, redesign of the turn-lanes at Railroad Street to address traffic flow congestion during events, and decorative fencing and gates to allow for the redirection of foot traffic around the perimeter of Bayfront Park during ticketed events. This contract covers the full design of the City-funded Bayfront Improvements negotiated with Pier B developers for implementation in 2016 and 2017. The previous work done by SEH on this project was for preliminary design concepts and cost estimation to determine the funding required for the project.
