The City of Rome, NY is requesting proposals from qualified consultants for the design and construction
bid documents to improve the accessibility and quality of the Muck Road boat launch.
The goal of the Muck Road Boat Launch Design project is to develop viable construction documents for
site improvements to an existing public facility that currently includes a public boat launch to the Erie
Canal. The objective of this redesign project is to meet the changing demands of the community and
include accessibility improvements, green infrastructure designs, and viable outdoor recreation space.
The Muck Road boat launch design will include:
• ADA compliance
• Parking and driveways
• Green infrastructure
• Walkways and bikeways
• Fishing platforms
• Boat launch ramp
• Lighting and signage
• Buildings
• Landscaping
The selected consultant will conduct site reconnaissance visits, develop draft designs, develop
construction documents (including stormwater management, lighting and electrical plans, and technical
specifications), facilitate and attend up to 2 public engagement meetings, and apply for and acquire all
required permitting and regulatory approvals for the project.
