The City of Providence seeks services from a qualified consultant firm(s), which will be known as the “Consultant”, to provide engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, PS&E, permitting, advertising, and associated post-design services for public infrastructure investments in Greater Kennedy Plaza (GKP). Although this RFP seeks engineering and architectural services for a variety of elements within the Project Area, the City intends to move forward with construction (pending funding) of Phases 1A and 1B (Big Shade Building/Canopy and the Riverwalk Connector) in Late Summer-Fall 2022 and therefore those elements shall be expedited by the Consultant to ensure timely completion in accordance with the City’s expectations. See Project Area and Phasing Description section of this RFP for more information on phasing. The selection of a high-quality, experienced architecture and landscape architecture team is of the utmost importance to the success of this project.
Phases 1A and 1B (Big Shade Building/Canopy and Riverwalk Connector) are intended to go through full engineering, PS&E, advertising, and post-design services as part of the contract resulting from this RFP. Other elements included as part of Phase 2 are intended to go through full engineering, PS&E, and preparation of advertising and bidding materials only. Phase 2 will not be advertised or go through post-design services as part of this RFP as the timing and construction funding for Phase 2 has not yet been determined.
