The City of Binghamton seeks statements of qualifications from professional firms to produce construction designs for complete reconstruction and streetscape improvements for Henry Street, from Chenango Street to Brandywine Ave. in Downtown Binghamton. The City wishes to transform Henry Street, and the larger Stadium District, into a vibrant and walkable commercial corridor and a gateway for baseball fans and visitors to Mirabito Stadium, home of the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets. Infrastructure improvements, including streetscape, lighting, pedestrian safety, underground utilities, and stormwater management are critical to this goal. Several potential improvements to the corridor have been studied and identified in the City's Stadium District Master Plan (2021), including: o Road Diet: for narrowing the travel lanes of Henry Street and eliminated unnecessarily slip lanes. o Lighting: Perceived lack of safety due not enough lighting. Residents and business owners both described areas in the district where there is no or inadequate lighting. o Pedestrian Crossings: Streets are wider than necessary, leading to longer crossing distances for pedestrians. Some but not all intersections have crosswalks. Car centric intersections could be made safer. ADA dropped curbs are only partially implemented. o Streetscape Improvements: Street trees, landscaping, etc. o Stormwater Management: Address flash flood and stormwater capacity issues near Mirabito Stadium and along the Henry Street corridor. o Gateway & Wayfinding: Unique, identifiable District entrance points. Project Scope The project scope will include at least the following: 1. Complete construction-ready design drawings for reconstruction of Henry Street, from Chenango Street to Brandywine Avenue. 2. Coordination of public input process for design elements, including stakeholder outreach. 3. Produce concept renderings of design options. Five (5) copies of each proposal package are to be included in the submission and the package is to be clearly marked "Henry Street Reconstruction Design."
