Item No. 09 105
Date: March 9, 2009
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Shadley
Associates — Bangor Waterfront Park
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary: The City Council, by passage of Council Order 08 052 on December 26, 2007, approved a
professional services agreement with Shadley Associates for design of the City's proposed Waterfront Park.
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.
