DECEMBER 22, 2014
Date: December 22, 2014
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing Execution of Contract with FTL Design Engineering for
Waterfront Amphitheater Design Services
Responsible Department: Community and Economic Development
Commentary: In June, the City issued a request for qualifications for consulting architectural
and engineering firms to assist the City in creating a phased development plan for a waterfront
amphitheater and other associated site planning tasks. A team representing the City Council and
Staff reviewed the responses, conducted interviews, and recommends the selection of the FTL
Design Engineering Studio. In September, the City Council authorized development of a contract
with the chosen firm.
In addition, FTL Design Studio has teamed with Harriman Architects + Engineers (based in
Auburn and Portland, Maine) and Jaffe Holden to provide acoustic analysis and recommend
architectural measures to mitigate sound. FTL has partnered with these same professionals on
many notable outdoor music venue projects including Summer Stage in Central Park and Pier 6
in Baltimore Md.
Under the terms of the contract, the City will pay an amount not to exceed $65,000 for time and
travel and FTL will provide conceptual site design for the waterfront area, including the WFC
pavilion, the dirt mount amphitheater, and the railroad stage area. It is anticipated that the
work will be completed by May 1, 2015. The contract will be in a final form approved by the City
Manager and City Solicitor. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the
Business & Economic Development Committee at its December 16, 2014 meeting.
