Furgary Fishing Village/North Bay Park Planning and Design

The City of Hudson, New York is requesting proposals for planning and design services to complete the planning phase for a climate-resilient waterfront park at the Furgary Fishing Village site, with proposals due September 18, 2026. A 6.00% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) goal applies; Assemblage Landscape Architecture, DPC, a SDVOB, was previously awarded an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years.

Qualified applicants must be consulting teams that include at least one New York State licensed engineer and landscape architect with demonstrated experience in shoreline stabilization and climate-resilient park design in tidal estuarine environments, including design of fishing piers, kayak launches, and open-air structures. The scope encompasses project administration, community and partner engagement, documentation of existing conditions, design development at three stages (30%, 60%, and 100%), regulatory coordination with NYSDEC's Hudson River Estuary Program and state and federal regulatory agencies, environmental permits and reviews, graphic design for interpretive signage, and final planning documents and drawings suitable for permitting and construction. Applicants should demonstrate experience working with state agencies, permitting processes, and public outreach on similar projects.

Total project funding is $160,000 ($123,000 grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Hudson River Estuary Program plus $37,000 local match). Compensation may be proposed on a fixed-fee or hourly-rate basis. The project must be completed no later than June 30, 2027.

Evaluation criteria are: applicant background and expertise relative to program delivery services (50%), nature and quality of proposed services and delivery methods (20%), references and experience in other communities (10%), compensation method and total cost (10%), and certified SDVOB and/or MWBE business status (10%). MBE/WBE/SDVOB businesses are highly encouraged to submit proposals. The City anticipates completing the proposal review and interview process within approximately one week of the deadline.
