Through this RFP, the City of Jamestown will select a qualified firm to prepare design and specifications needed to install architectural lighting for the RiverWalk Trail in order to provide better illumination and create a nighttime experience for visitors to Downtown Jamestown.
The project will utilize the BPU owned Coal Silo façade, the NYSDOT owned Washington Street Bridge piers and abutments, and Main Street Bridge arches onto which light will be projected, highlighting the architectural detail of the silo and bridge. Specific locations for the installation of fixtures and necessary equipment will be determined as part of this project.
The selected firm will develop executable installation plans, which must include realistic timetables and budgets, in cooperation with the City Departments of Development and Public Works, the Board of Public Utilities, NYSDOT and any other relevant agencies or organizations as necessary.
The selected firm will be asked to design and develop a project that:
Utilizes public and private property for the installation of fixtures to illuminate the BPU Coal Silo, Washington Street Bridge piers and abutments, and Main Street Bridge arches.
*Note, any necessary easements will be secured by the City and does not fall within the scope of the selected consultant to coordinate, however, as the Board of Public Utilities and the NYS Department of Transportation are current property owners, the consultant will need to coordinate with the City, BPU and NYSDOT to secure any necessary permits.
Includes recommended quantities and placements for the fixtures, technical specs, as well as a realistic budget and timetable for purchase/fabrication, installation, maintenance and energy costs.
Includes a fully dimensioned site plan.
Is scalable and can evolve over time to illuminate additional buildings and features throughout Downtown Jamestown. Consideration for long-term viability, additional equipment/fixtures, layout, and addition of more complex video mapping programs is a vital component of the overall design.
