The first phase of the Waterfront Park has changed and expanded, and Shadley Associates has submitted a proposal for additional professional services for completing design, engineering, and contract documents for the Bangor Waterfront Park 2009-2010 Construction Project. This Order would approve an additional $182,933 in fees. Shadley Associates would continue to subcontract civil and electrical engineering work to Wright -Pierce as it has done on previous Waterfront projects. Charges would be on an hourly basis as provided for in the Proposal. Funding for the additional services is available from the grants for Waterfront Park improvements received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under its Economic Development Initiative Program, $321,750 in 2006 and $257,250 in 2008, and $675,000 received in 2008 under the State of Maine Riverfront Bond Program. The Waterfront Park is the 11.4 acre area located downriver from Railroad Street between the Penobscot River and the railroad tracks. The services to be provided are final design, engineering, permitting, preparation of contract documents, and construction monitoring of the 2009-2010 Construction phase. The Waterfront Park improvements for the 2009-2010 construction project have changed because of the Penobscot River cleanup project and the resultant need to avoid park improvements to the river's edge that could be disturbed by it, the need to install more sophisticate stormwater systems to meet the requirements of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, and a minor relocation of the amphitheater area. The scope of the project has also expanded with the award of additional grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Economic Development Initiative Program and State of Maine Riverfront Bond Program. Department Head Manager's Comments: Finance has reviewed and recommends approval. 9 ea��,&dz City Manager Associated Information: Budget Approval: Legal Approval: Introduced for X Passage First Reading Referral Finance Director G Page _of_ City Solicitor March 9, 2009 Assigned to Councilor Stone 9 105 CITY OF BANGOR (TITLE.)
