The City of Gardiner is seeking proposals from qualified firms with demonstrated experience and expertise to review and plan for methods to address improvements needed to the Arcade parking lot area to use in future construction planning. This RFP is the first planning phase of this project, with construction funding sources not currently allocated. The selected firm will perform design and engineering services for the 2.35 acre municipally owned "Arcade" parking lot (tax map 37, lot 10). This may include, but is not limited to, site demolition, soil amendment, new base, new pavement, new curb and gutter, new drainage structures, new lighting, pedestrian access improvements, hardscaping and landscaping, and stormwater management.
