STEWART PARK -IMPROVEMENTS MASTER PLAN
SCOPE OF PROJECT
Preparation of a comprehensive plan for improvements -to the Stewart Park
complex comprising lake front park bird sanctuary; golf course, and
associated water features, including repairs to features to be retained;
replacement of certain features determined to be inappropriate to the
function, purpose and appearance of the complex; -and installation of
features intended to upgrade the complex as determineddesirable.
The plan shall consist of text and drawings necessary to explain the
various features and improvements in sufficient detail to permit the sub-
sequent design of facilities and the preparation of construction documents
for the implementation of individual improvements according to a phased
plan, or as determined necessary or desirable by the City. It should
incorporate a schedule of recommended phasing and priority for the vari-
ous plan components. In coordination with the appropriate City depart-
ments, the consultant contractor shall prepare a final list of facilities,
activities and improvements to be incorporated in the plan. Consideration
shall be given to factors of efficiency of operation and maintenance, to
the greatest extent compatible with considerations of user convenience,
access and amenity.
Landscape design shall be a major component of the plan. The existing
character of the site shall be respected in the design of new features,
while not limiting the exercise of freedom in designing such additions and
changes to enhance the interest and variety of the different areas of the
complex and subareas of each. Suggestions shall be made for typical treat-
ments and for special features, including but not limited to sturctures and
landscaping of historic interest; vehicular access, circulation and parking;
and access and use by persons in wheelchairs. Compatibility of design of
new features with those to be retained is essential, in order to minimize
the potential for visual and esthetic disruption and to result in a coordina-
ted whole at each stage of plan implementation.
Design of impgvements shall take into account the special characteristics
of the complex with respect to soils, topography and proximity to water
table, and shall include sufficient hydrological and other investigations
as nccded to determine the feasibility of incorporating lake swimming into
the final development, as well as other more intensive uses.of the lake and
waterway resources than presently occur at the complex. The design of
services and support systems shall be compatible with those currently in use
by the City off-site, and shall connect with them as appropriate.
Included in the plan shall be a projection of the estimated costs for each
phase of the improvements. In addition, the consultant shall identify any
probable sources of non -local funding assistance for the various phases and
components of the plan, including programs which may directly or indirectly
contribute to planning or implementation of recreation facilities, waterway
and lake dredging, historic preservation, and other activities.
Schedule A, page 2.
Necessary evaluation of the environmental impacts of the overall plan and
its components will be undertaken by the City, but consultants will be
required to take environmental concerns into account in plan preparation,
understanding that some components may have significant impacts, and
designing them to be responsive to the objective of minimizing negative
effects.
PLAN SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATION
Submission of a preliminary plan, including tentative cost estimates for
major work items, is required by April 30, 1984; and submission of a
completed plan by August 31, 1984. The consultant will be expected to
make at least one presentation of the preliminary plan to the City, and
one public presentation of the completed plan. Conferences and consulta-
tions with City officials, staff and others involved with the project
locally will be scheduled and conducted as necessary and convenient. All
presentations and meetings with local personnel will be conducted in Ithaca.
Twenty (20) copies of the preliminary plan, and fifty (50) copies of the
completed plan, exclusive of presentation drawings and other large -size
graphic materials, will be required by the above dates. Two (2) sets of
preliminary presentation drawings, and five (5) sets of final drawings,
etc., including one reproducible set, will be required.
CITY RESPONSIBILITIES
The City will make available to the consultant, to the extent possible,
existing base data concerning the complex, including maps; aerial photo-
graphy; maintenance and improvement history; information on users, activi-
ties and programs; plans and other prescriptive or descriptive documents
relating to the complex and to recreation; Public Works and Youth Bureau
policies, standards and procedures applicable; engineering, water. and- sewer,
streets and facilities; archival material concerning the history of the
complex, etc. The City will assist the consultant, to the extent feasible,
in obtaining additional information required. The City will also insure
that necessary environmental analyses of the plan and its component parts
are conducted at the appropriate times.
Contact person and project coordinator for the City will be Mr. John A.
Dougherty, Assistant to the Superintendent of Public Works, who will be
assisted and advised by other City staff and agencies as he determines
necessary and desirable.
Schedule A, page 3.
SCOPE OF_WORK
1. Assemble and Review Existing Data. Existing data
which describe and measure present conditions in the
park complex wdll be assembled and reviewed. This would
include information related toland use, recreation
demand,traffic and parking, utilities, water currents,
water quality, vegetation, soils, boating demand, ve-
hicular and pedestrian accessibility, condition of park
structures, operating and maintenance costs and prob-
lems,improvements planned by public works,,and1.simu.
alar pertinent'information. Interviews with staff, key
officials and selected individuals will be made to
assess attitudes about the present use of the park and
its future potential.
•
It is understood that all existing information that is
presently available to the City will beprovided to the
consultant at no charge, including maps, air photos and
reports. Because of the off-season nature of the time
period within which the plan is to be prepared, it is
anticipated that only limited original data will be ob-
tained at this stage. Additional needed data will be
identified, however, and, with City assistance, obtained
to the maximum extent possible within the limitations of
time, season of the year and budget.
2. Spatial, Functional and Structural Analysis. Analyze
current land use activity for each element of the plan,
apparent trends, and the structural condition, usefulness,
and restoration potential of major buildings. Each of the
major park functions will be analyzed and evaluated in
terms of space and facilities available and suitability of
present use. 'Existing park -related local policy will be
reviewed for appropriateness. Natural, operational and
legal constraints will be identified and assessed. Based
on interviews and supporting data, alternative roles and
functions for the several components of the park complex,
and strengths and limitations of each, will be developed
for discussion with staff and others as determined.
3. Prepare Schematic Sketches. Environmental and land use
information gathered in 1 and 2 above will be used to
establish a framework for assessing.park potential.
Matrices will be developedto facilitate evaluation of
possible land use categories in terms of social and en-
vironmental values. The matrices will indicates restraints
as well as opportunities and will provide rationale and
support for the preparation of schematic sketches for the
Schedule. A, page 4.
park plan. Such sketches Fill be largely concep-
tual and diagrammatic showing relationships between
laud uses, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and
park facilities. Discussion of alternatives with
staff and officials at this point will be important.
4. Special Studies. Two issues fundamental to the park's
future development will be given special emphasis.' One
relates to the possibilities of shoreline enhancement
and the secondinvolves the feasibility of golf course
expansion.
Opportunities for expanding the park.to the north by
diking and filling portions of Cayuga Lake will be
examined. Calculations on the present shoreline con-
figuration, water flow and windwill be entered into a
computer program and verified by existing aerial
photographs and other data. At this stage, data not
presently available or easily obtained will be assumed.
The verified computer .program will be used to assess the
likely impact on water.circulation of design changes in
the shoreline configuration and alterations of the lake
and creek bottom. Suitable uses of filled land, and
other possibilities for improving water and shoreline use,
will be determined.
Golf course expansion potential will be evaluated by ex-
amining need, present layout and the feasibility of using
part or all of the bird sanctuary and biological field
station for this purpose. Alternatives and recommendations
for the future use of these three areas (golf course,
sanctuary, field station), including the eastern bank of
the inlet, will be prepared.
5, Develop Preliminary Site Plan... Reaction to the schematic
sketches (work item 3), and information from the special
studies (work item 4) will be incorporated into the prep-
aration. of preliminary site plan for the entire complex.
Included in the plan will be the spatial and functional
relationships and linkages of all parkland uses and
activities, a vehicular circulation and parking layout,
shoreline treatment, lakeshore modifications, the location
and use of park structures, the location and treatment of
major landscaping elements and magnitude -of -cost estimates
for major improvements. Detailed design drawings and
specifications of renovated or new park structures and
landscaping features will not be possible in this study but
clear indications of the substance and character of such
improvements will be given.
n
Schedule A,�page 5.
6. 'Develop'Concept•of VisualForms:and Materials. Pre-
pared'concurrently with, and as a part of, the pre-
liminary site plan will be a landscape design plan for
the park. This plan will include consideration of
pedestrian circulation, modification of existing land
forms, generalized drainage patterns, visual linkages •
and sequences, and the use of landscaping to separate
or define functions, spaces and structures, frame
• views, create visual -interest and provide shade, back-
drops and wind protection. Criteria will be established
for the selection of plantmaterial_ suited to the en-
vironmental characteristics of the site and compatible
with existing vegetation. The location andtype of major
or critical plant groupings will be indicated and rec
ommendations made for plant succession as important older
trees deteriorate or die.
7. Preparation of Final Plan and Phasing. Modification of
the preliminary site plan and landscape design plan will
be made based on review and discussion with City staff
and officials. The final park plan will include appro-
priate modifications. Narratives and graphics'will be ,
prepared to describe and illustrate recommended improve-
- ments in the complex. The final plan will also include
a recommended priority listing for all improvements and an
implementation sequence to facilitate phasing of con-
struction and minimize disruption of normal park use.
Potential funding sources for various aspects of the
park's long-range•development will be explored in con-
junction with the City staff.
8. Report Reproduction and Presentation. In accordance with -
specifications in the RFP 20 copies of all written
material and 2 sets of drawings will be provided at the
preliminary plan stage. Fifty copies of all final plan
narratives and 5 sets of final drawings, including one
reproducible set, will be provided® The consultant will
be available for public presentations as required.
