for
Garfield Super Block – Park & Promenade Improvement Project

RFQ Due Date: 1/12/2022, 5:00pm

Scope of Work: The goal of the Garfield Superblock – Park and Promenade Renovation Project is to confirm and implement the unfinished renovation work of the 2005 Garfield Superblock Master Plan. This was a planning effort funded by the adjacent Garfield School renovation (completed in 2008). The Project design addresses the two following recommendations from the Master plan that were never implemented:

A. Grounds Improvements:

Site improvements throughout the park to help support the overall park and amenities use and activities.

B.  “Legacy and Promise Promenade”:

Creation of a pathway that integrates art and amenities that reflect the immense cultural diversity and rich history of the Central Area.

The current conceptual design, completed in 2019, was created under direction of and approval by the Garfield Super Block Coalition (https://www.garfieldsuperblock.org).  The project expands the original promenade idea to include a cultural loop that wraps around the park (indicated by a red line in the plan, Exhibit B), highlight entrances/gateways & connections, and to renovate park elements to better meet community needs.  We are seeking a consultant to take the design beyond the completed and final schematic thru 30%, 60%, 90%, 100%, bidding, construction administration, and close-out
