SECTION 1: PURPOSE
1.1 The City of Albany hereby requests qualification packages from qualified consulting
firms for the development of plans and specifications for the replacement of the Lincoln
Park Pool bordered at the corners of Eagle Street and Delaware Avenue in, Albany
New York. Minority Business Enterprises and Women's Business Enterprises are
encouraged to submit a qualification package.
SECTION 2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Lincoln Park is bordered by Delaware Avenue to the west, Eagle Street to the east,
Park Avenue to the north and Morton Avenue to the south. The park is bisected by
Dr. Martin. Luther King Boulevard, dividing what is considered the upper park and
lower park. Lincoln Park was originally a deep ravine carved out by the Beaver Kill
Creek, which flowed south from Park Avenue and Swan Street. The surrounding
neighborhood was the site of a large brewery and brick yards in the mid-1700s. In the
1800s these industries were abandoned and Beaver Park was created, which
eventually became Lincoln Park. Over the years, the ravine was filled and the Beaver
Kill was redirected to an underground brick conduit. Fill depths range from 30 to 40
feet.
