For Design, Engineering and Construction of Improvements to Frontenac Park

The Village of Union Springs, New York is requesting proposals for design, engineering, and construction of improvements to Frontenac Park under an RFP issued September 14, 2026, with proposals due November 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and a mandatory site walkthrough on September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The project carries mandatory MWBE participation goals of 30 percent overall—15 percent MBE and 15 percent WBE—with good faith effort documentation required; a 6 percent SDVOB participation goal is strongly encouraged.

The scope encompasses conceptual and final design, environmental quality review, permitting, construction management, project administration, and grant compliance reporting. Deliverables include development of new pedestrian pathways, a new pay station, parking accommodations, conversion of a house at Factory Street into a recreation office and community gathering space, an outdoor patio for recreation programming and classes, a picnic shelter, and lawn restoration. The project is funded by a grant from the New York State Department of State and subject to that agency's approval of all contractors and subcontractors.

The Village will evaluate proposals on quality and completeness, approach to scope completion, qualifications and relevant experience, past performance on similar projects, and proposed fees. No incumbent is identified; no identical or substantially similar contracts have been awarded in the past five years.

Respondents must submit eight hard copies and one electronic copy to Christine Van Horn, Village Clerk, 26 Chapel Street, Union Springs, NY 13160, or clerk@unionspringsny.gov. Questions are due October 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Consultant selection is anticipated the week of January 18, 2027, with a project start date of February 1, 2027. Respondents bear all proposal preparation expenses and may not seek reimbursement. The selected contractor must provide workers' compensation and liability insurance with the Village listed as an additional insured.
