About this file
This is an Addendum No. 1 issued by the City of Cortland, New York, dated July 21, 2026, clarifying the Request for Proposal for Professional Architectural and Engineering Services for Yaman Park Improvements funded through the New York State Water Infrastructure Improvement Act - Swimming Facilities Program (NY SWIMS). The project encompasses comprehensive design, engineering, bidding, and construction-phase services for the demolition and reconstruction of a deteriorated bathhouse (2,500 square feet), restrooms, and three pavilions (1,000 square feet each) at the 4.5-acre park, which was originally constructed over 70 years ago. The park currently serves approximately 5,000 patrons during summer months and draws 300 or more visitors per day during favorable weather. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2027, with contractor bids released in Q1 2027 following fall 2026 demolition. The facility will be seasonal use only with no heating or air conditioning required. Proposals were due August 3, 2026, with written questions required by July 21, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Site visits to Yaman Park are encouraged, with the facility open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The City Council was scheduled to award the contract on August 18, 2026, with execution on August 19, 2026.
The selected firm must carry general liability insurance of $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate and comply with DASNY procedures, NY SWIMS grant schedules, New York State procurement guidelines, prevailing wage compliance, and equal employment opportunity requirements. MWBE/SDVOB participation is an evaluation criterion, with required documentation of minority-owned business enterprise (15 percent), women-owned business enterprise (15 percent), and service-disabled veteran-owned business (6 percent) participation in proposals. The addendum clarifies that SHPO historic structure consultations and archaeological site assessments have been completed and are not required under the A/E contract, no water treatment design services are needed, and the project involves complete demolition and new construction rather than renovation. Preliminary designs, cost estimates, and existing site utility plans from the NY SWIMS grant application are included as reference materials with the addendum.
