This project is the first phase of the larger City Arch River (CAR) program that will upgrade and enhance the visitor experience at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. This project site is approximately 30 acres in size and includes the southern area of the existing park, not including the area occupied by the Arch or the underground Museum of Westward Expansion and Visitor Center. The South Park Grounds, similar to the North Park Grounds, is made up of the existing reflecting ponds, processional walks, east slope, and associated landscape. The South Park Grounds construction contract work includes selective demolition and removal of existing furnishings, pavement, utilities, trees, shrubs, lawns, soils, pathways, and roads. New work includes storm sewers, sanitary sewers, earthwork, site electrical work, water lines, fiber optic lines, grading, concrete site walls, steel handrails, concrete and asphaltic pavement, cobbled borders, stamped concrete, exposed aggregate concrete, curbs, roads, pathways (including processional walks), ramps, tree pits, planting soils, soil amendments, erosion control, slope stabilization, trees, shrubs, groundcovers, lawns, irrigation, storm water capture systems, drinking fountains, bike racks, benches, security bollards, security systems, and site lighting. The major emphasis for this work is to improve site accessibility, landscaping, soil and drainage conditions, and aesthetics for overall visitor enjoyment and use. Staging areas and site access are extremely limited. The site is located in an urban area surrounded by roadways and interstate highway. Visitor access to the existing Arch must be maintained throughout construction. The project site is part of a National Historic Landmark and is subject to related requirements including, but not limited to, archaeological monitoring, protection of and documentation of existing historic elements. It is expected that both the South and North Park Grounds work will be underway simultaneously. The estimated price is between $17,000,000 - $22,000,000 including all labor, materials, equipment and expertise necessary to perform all operations required for the successful completion of the above named project. The work associated with the contract will be completed no later than 495 calendar days after the Notice To Proceed.
