The project site is near East 144th Street and bounded by the CSX/Oak Point rail line and the Harlem River to the West and the Major Deegan and Exterior Street to the East. The design of the Lower Concourse Park is contemplated to include the esplanade as required by the Special Harlem River Waterfront District (SHRWD) zoning, waterfront improvements, landscaping, fencing/railing, lighting, park amenities, utilities, and a comfort station.
NYCEDC plans to select a consultant on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, experience and quality of any subconsultants proposed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the RFP, and the proposed fee.
