Valley Falls Heritage Park: Final Design and Construction Oversight - Engineering, Consulting, and Design Services

The Town of Cumberland is seeking a qualified firm to provide comprehensive engineering, consulting, and design services for the final development and construction oversight of Valley Falls Heritage Park. The scope includes preparing schematic designs, detailed construction documents, assisting with bidding processes, and overseeing construction activities to ensure the project aligns with the recently completed Master Plan. This plan reimagines the park as a Resilience Hub aimed at enhancing community health, education, and access to employment opportunities, following extensive public engagement efforts. The project is closely integrated with the adaptive reuse of the historic Amaral Building, located across from the park, which will serve as the Office of Community Based Outreach and Health. This facility will offer vital services such as health screenings, job assistance, language classes, and housing support to low- and moderate-income residents of the surrounding neighborhoods. The contract value ranges from $500,000 to $1,500, and proposals are due by October 15, 2024. The project underscores a community-centered approach to park development and social services, emphasizing collaborative planning and sustainable design.
