Alton Park Riverwalk Connector

The Alton Park Riverwalk Connector project in Chattanooga, Tennessee, involves constructing approximately 500 linear feet of a 12-foot-wide concrete multi-modal path, including a grass strip, along with roughly 1,160 feet of 5-foot-wide sidewalk. The scope encompasses various infrastructure improvements such as the installation of concrete pathways, ornamental roadway features, landscaping, stormwater structures, and ADA-compliant crossing ramps. Additionally, the project includes electrical components like LED pedestrian lighting, conduit installation, wiring, and meter setup, all aimed at enhancing safety and accessibility. The work also involves pavement markings and modifications to existing utilities, with a focus on environmental considerations due to contaminated soils identified through geotechnical reports and environmental assessments. The project is managed under a solicitation with a budget range from $500,000 to $1.5 million, issued by the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The solicitation process has been supplemented by multiple addenda that clarify technical details, scope adjustments, environmental concerns, and bidding instructions. These addenda address issues such as electrical and lighting specifications, removal of certain materials, utility undergrounding, landscaping, and detailed quantities for excavation, paving, and other construction activities. The project’s primary point of contact is Debbie J. Talley, and the contract aims to improve connectivity and infrastructure along West 33rd Street from the existing pathway near St. Elmo Avenue to Delong Street, ultimately enhancing pedestrian mobility and safety in the area.
