RFP 2017-09 - Downtown-Riverfront Parks Connection Feasibility Study for the City of Watertown

The City of Watertown is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a Downtown-Riverfront Parks Connection Feasibility Study. Connecting downtown to the riverfront has long been a major goal of the City of Watertown, and this Feasibility Study will contain significant recommendations towards achieving that goal. The City was awarded a Strategic Planning and Feasibility Studies grant from the New York State Department of State, which will be used to pay for the plan.
The City will use the Feasibility Study to improve connections for pedestrians and bicyclists from the City's downtown Public Square to two of its riverfront parks, the Veterans' Memorial Riverwalk and Whitewater Park. The Study will include survey work, topography studies, right of way analysis, preliminary design alternatives, cost estimates and implementation recommendations.
