RFP-347 - UNTERMYER PARK - TEMPLE OF THE SKY RESTORATION ANALYSIS SERVICES

The City of Yonkers (the “City”) is seeking proposals for professional services required for the City of Yonkers Untermyer Park Temple of the Sky Restoration Analysis.  Briefly, the City is interested in retaining a qualified Consultant for an investigation and analysis of the Temple of the Sky, located in the Walled Garden of Untermyer Park and Gardens, a municipal park owned by the City of Yonkers.

The Temple of the Sky was constructed in 1917 as the centerpiece of the Walled Garden, the signature garden component of Greystone, the estate owned by Samuel Untermyer.  Constructed of massive blocks of Alabama marble, one of the stone lintels has badly cracked, recently requiring it to be shored up.

The City requires the Consultant to perform an intensive inspection and study of this part of the temple.  The work of the Consultant should include:  a description of how the subject study will be implemented; providing a clear description of proposed methods; and a rationale as to why the above processes are the correct approach.
