RE: River Swimming
Assessment and Design
(Horizontal Design Services)
Dear selection committee,
Communities are fundamental. Whether around the corner or across the globe, they provide a foundation, a sense of place
and of belonging. And as design experts in the places where people play and recreate, in light of the pandemic, we are
observing needs like the City of Northampton’s River Swimming Assessment and Design project across all community types.
Municipalities are re-strategizing around public health necessities to assure that public spaces offer additional, expanded, and
improved places to convene, exercise, and carry on safely for all members of the community. We have been meeting this need
with the mantra we’ve always maintained—that at Stantec, we design with community in mind.
We thank you for the opportunity to submit qualifications to the City for this project. We have met the needs of our current
climate with a renewed eye towards innovation and an eagerness to deliver on evolved ways to keep people connected and
thriving, even in challenging times.
Relative to this assignment, we are truly enthusiastic about what can be done to accomplish your goals both in the short and
long-term. We design to the specific context and requirements of each project that we work on and will apply that approach to
the multiple sites included in this assignment.
To accomplish these ambitions on your timeline and budget, we have assembled a team with distinguished experience and
project management skills in all things related to the river access park design. We are ready to immediately get going and work
closely with the City to tailor a vision of the swimmable rivers that Northampton deserves.
The complexity of the task at hand is evident, the importance of this project in our ‘new normal’ is significant, and the
opportunity is exciting. Above all, we are ready to rise to this occasion with efficiency, expertise, and a drive to deliver on the
wishes of the people and stakeholders that will benefit from these re-envisioned facilities. We look forward to the oppor tunity
to be your trusted partner, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss in this important project with you directly as part of your
proposal process.
Kind regards,

SWIMMABLE CHARLES RIVER STUDY
BOSTON, MA | CHARLES RIVER CONSERVANCY
‘Swimming in the Charles’ was a
comprehensive study that explored
the feasibility of creating a
permanent urban swimming facility
along the shore of Boston and
Cambridge’s North Point Park.
The Charles River was once a
polluted mess immortalized by the
song “Dirty Water.” Recently, it was
awarded a cleanliness grade of A-
from the Environmental Protection
Agency and became the “cleanest
urban river in America,” according to
the Charles River Conservancy.
Our integrated team of landscape
architects, environmental scientists,
civil engineers, permitting
specialists and urban designers
collaborated over five months to
provide the CRC with a report that
would equip them in their effort to
make the Charles River the first
urban river in the United States to
reintroduce swimming. In addition
to confirming the project’s
feasibility, a core team of designers
held a series of charrettes that
helped generate multiple designs
for an actual swimming facility.
The design team was particularly
mindful of phasing, site program,
accessibility, public safety, and
developing a method that would
keep swimmers from coming in
contact with the river bed. We also
reviewed jurisdictional issues and
policy and investigated design and
engineering challenges. A series of
graphics were produced to illustrate
the design concepts and to aid the
CRC in funding the potential project.
Published publicly and reported in
the Boston Globe, Stantec’s report
helped the CRC successfully
complete a fundraising campaign to
continue their work in providing the
public with a swim park, bringing
locals back into that once-dirty
water.

CONFIDENTIAL MULTI-SITE RIVERFRONTPARK + BOAT RAMP IMPROVEMENTS
NORTHEAST COAST | CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT
As part of a study for five (5) state recreation areas, numerous members of our proposed team have completed a
feasibility analysis for each site, as well as detailed permitting assessments and full design services for rapid
implementation at three (3) prioritized sites to date. The initiative aims to deliver boat launches with pocket parks between
multiple municipalities along this northeast coastal river.
Once complete this will serve as the state’s first linear, water-based park for kayakers and boaters to access. A
comprehensive interpretative and programmatic signage design package for all five sites was developed to help make
visitors aware of each site’s unique history and ecology, as well as iconic signage and navigational information for
waterside boaters looking to visit each site. Services also included ADA accessible access for kayakers at all sites, and the
separation of bulkhead repairs/replacements to keep project timelines moving forward and not held up in permitting.
These sites will provide much needed upgrades to the waterfront open spaces and serve to celebrate the great resource of
the river and the people, towns, and ecology along its banks. Highlights from the three designed sites include the following.

STANTEC | 11
The Village of Watkins Glen and
Schuyler County intend to transform
the lake-side portion of Clute Park
into a “year-round destination and
signature public amenity for the
Village.”
The community developed park
located on 16 acres of low-lying
land in Watkins Glen has not been
substantively improved since the
construction of the original steel,
concrete and wood pavilion erected
by the residents in the 1920’s.
Nominal improvements over the
past century incorporated utilities,
parking, a collage of lighting, some
playground equipment, and a
concrete block bathhouse that has
exceeded its useful life. The Village
of Watkins Glen and Schuyler
County intend to transform the park
into a regional draw that better
serves the residents while pulling in
visitors from beyond the Village
boundary across four seasons.
Combined with trails, infrastructure,
wayfinding and main street
improvements projects, the Clute
Park Redevelopment initiative
targets all-season use, that expands
opportunities for small businesses
while improving the park for the
residents of Watkins Glen.
Amenities will be modern yet in
context with the surrounds, clean,
safe, and inviting. Improvements
should draw regionally and support
the addition of winter events and
festivals. Event and meeting spaces
that generate an increased revenue
stream will be provided. Wayfinding,
street and trails improvements
developed concurrently will link
residents, businesses, visitors,
Watkins Glen State Park, the
waterfront and regional trail
systems to a reinvigorated Clute
Park.
Our design program includes the
addition of a modern pavilion with
an event space sized to seat 150
guests and a meeting room each
leasable to local and visiting groups
and organizations, and a café to
serve visitors throughout the year.
An ice rink with skate rental and
changing accommodations,
ice-making infrastructure and an
ice-surfacer storage garage will be
provided, all designed by Stantec’s
in-house team of ice and aquatics
specialists. In juxtaposition to the
ice surface, a summertime splash
pad is planned. The two events will
share enclosed and open spaces to
leverage=the investment and to
maintain an overall composition of
spaces across multiple seasons. A
new weatherized bathhouse will
provide restrooms, changing space,
rinsing showers and covered
cubbies. Integral to the bathhouse
are lifeguard facilities including an
office and a storage room.
Construction is currently underway.

In response to the demand for a
more evolved public realm, the park
expansion design transforms three
acres of parking into green space,
doubling the size of a beloved park
that sits at the northern tip of
Roosevelt Island in Manhattan. The
original park consists of rolling
lawns leading to a historic
lighthouse designed by James
Renwick. The design is the result of
a public engagement process for
island residents and stakeholders. It
adds much needed programming—
playground and splay play areas
embedded in a series of small hills
overlooking the East River;
naturalized landscapes of pollinator
and meadow plants; a new entry
plaza to welcome visitors into the
once-inconspicuous park; along
with fun furniture and places to eat,
including a community pizza oven
and a restored Tram Car Café. Other
elements include a dog park, a
multi-use lawn, and comfort station.
In addition to the landscape design,
Stantec is providing environmental
consulting on the project,
implementing subsurface
investigations, performing
environmental review in accordance
with SEQRA, and applying for
permits. The new park will introduce
raised topography along the eastern
edge of the island, which sits largely
within the floodplain, to elevate
investments and ensure longevity of
the park. Sustainability in materials,
construction, and operations of the
park has been a driving design goal
of the project, which will begin
construction in fall of 2021.
LIGHTHOUSE PARK EXPANSION
ROOSEVELT ISLAND, NY | ROOSEVELT ISLAND OPERATING CORPORATION
In 2015, the City of New Orleans
participated in the US Department
of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) National
Disaster Resilience Competition
with a proposal to create the City’s
first Resilience District within the
Gentilly neighborhood. The Gentilly
Resilience District represents a
combination of projects and efforts
that focus on innovative solutions
to water management with the
“living with water” theme and triple
bottom line approach at the
forefront.
Blue and Green Corridors is the
largest of the Gentilly Residence
District projects that aims to reduce
flood risk, slow land subsidence,
and encourage neighborhood
revitalization. This will be done by
creating a network of canals,
recreational parks, and community
spaces along eight linear miles of
the public right-of-way. Along the
streets slated as “blue corridors”,
the City will construct linear
wetlands and canals within the wide
neutral grounds between vehicle
travel lanes to receive and manage
runoff, and immediately relieve
stress on the pumping system,
allowing it to “catch up.” Along the
streets slated as “green corridors”,
the City will construct a variety of
green infrastructure practices–such
as bioswales, bumpouts, and
permeable pavement–to allow
stormwater runoff to be stored and
seep slowly back into the ground.
Wherever possible, the project
proposes road diets to reduce
impervious cover, beautify the
neighborhood with plantings, calm
traffic, and to build complete streets
for safe walking and biking.
BLUE + GREEN CORRIDORS INITIATIVE
NEW ORLEANS, LA | CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, LA
STANTEC | 15
Stantec re-envisioned the
neighborhoods to use the large
neutral grounds to store water
during flood events and create
beneficial water areas to enhance
the community. A “Complete
Streets” approach prioritizes
pedestrians, bicyclists, and public
transit to create a safer multi-modal
environment. Vacant lots have been
repurposed to provide multiple uses
for community spaces and
stormwater management. Wooden
walkways and piers traverse over
stormwater ponds while pavilions
and active playgrounds provide
destinations for families.
Since this project is funded by HUD,
we conducted a benefit cost
analysis to show that the benefits
of the improvements exceed the
costs of the project. We quantified
the improvements via a triple
bottom line analysis to capture the
benefits improvements to flood
reductions, healthier lifestyles, and
improved economic activity. The
results showed that the project
creates improvements to all three
categories. The project is scheduled
for completion in 2022.

As part of the Gateway City Parks
program the Monroe Bridge
Overlook was established on a
portion of the former Ramage Paper
Mill. The site is located on a step
cliff that overlooks the Deerfield
River and still functioning dam. The
Overlook project, which includes the
creation of the new park and a
retaining wall for Depot Street, was
the result of work by multiple state,
federal, and private partners.
Our integrated team of landscape
architects, environmental scientists,
civil engineers, and permitting
specialists collaborated to provide
the design on this challenging site.
Our approach was to focus on using
unobtrusive park elements so the
magnificent views of the native
forests and the river below could be
highlighted. We also incorporated
Two granite posts engraved with the
Town of Monroe Seal to create
strong entrance that does not take
away from the views beyond.
Across from the site is a stairway
and boat slide, and river access
platform. The hydroelectric dam
has 32 scheduled days of water
releases from May-October, that
create Class II to IV rapids along
this area of the river. This facility is
used by multiple companies that
offer whitewater rafting excursions
to thousands of visitors each year.
In addition to these companies,
independent groups of rafters and
individual kayakers use these
facilities. The Deerfield River
continues to serve as an important
economic driver in the area and
nowadays supports the growing
adventure tourism/outdoor
recreation industry in western
Franklin County. As the industry’s
popularity has grown, new
restaurants and retail shops in
neighboring communities have been
established.

The two new buildings for the
Community Rowing Inc., designed
by Anmahian Winton Architects,
totaling 31,000 square feet, are
located on DCR property, adjacent
to the Daly Recreation Center and
an existing public boat ramp. The
project provides a new home for
CRI’s vibrant program, while
enhancing the public’s enjoyment of
the Charles River Basin. A new
riverwalk at the top of the bank of
the Charles, and public access to
the Boathouse piers and floating
docks provides pedestrian access
to a portion of the River that is
currently inaccessible. The new
docks provide access at several
points while limiting disturbance
and maintaining existing vegetation
along the river.
New low-impact design features
and water quality improvements to
existing stormwater systems at the
site were a central component to
the project’s design. A bio-retention
swale collects runoff from the
existing parking lot, and structures
were added to clean stormwater
from the existing parking lot prior to
discharge to the river. In addition, all
roof water from the proposed
buildings is discharged to a
subsurface system designed to
maximize the detention and
infiltration on site.

APPROACH
+ TIMELINE
UNDERSTANDING
Make the game plan
When approaching this project we would like to be strategic
when and where we focus our efforts. With site #1 and #2 we
recognize a need of a greater capital improvements thus we
would like to first direct our attention to the sites #3 through #6
where in collaboration with the City we could make some early
action recommendations which could be implemented by the
City before the 2021 swimming season. This doesn’t mean all the
problems will be solved with a magical wand, but it will be a good
start in addressing use conflicts and make modest
improvements that will make the areas safer to users. From
there we would like to transition and focus our attention back to
sites #1 and 2.
The process
It is our expectation that we will work collaboratively with the City
and the community to shape the overall experience at the
informal swimming areas. It is also our expectation that we will
work within our team to shape the framework that meets the
programmatic demands of this project. How do we do this?
What’s possible? What’s impossible?
It all depends on your perspective—each of the six sites has a
slightly different problems, history, environment, human
behavior and more—changing it will require research,
innovation, and patience. We noticed in the RFP that the City
is purposefully keeping the premise of this effort broad as not
to limit possible outcomes. Collectively, as a team, we will
need to establish the limits of the project’s influence and set
expectations for stakeholders. Through the public
engagements and the design process narrow down the
options. Once these parameters are set, our technically
skilled and highly efficient staff can execute construction
documents that will help bring this vision to reality. It will also
be partially our role to help set the expectations with the
community. With limited budgets we won’t be able to
implement everything on the wish list.
On-time + on-budget
We have a proven track record meeting tight deadlines and
strict budget requirements when working with municipalities
and state entities. In our experience working on other
riverfront, multi-site park projects, we have developed a
materials palette that is cost effective, durable, and
aesthetically pleasing. We believe that having all the spaces
connecting to the riverfront speak similar material language
would help in signaling to the local community and the
visitors a clear message of the destination ahead even if it’s
managed by distinctive agencies.
Research the siteIn the RFP the City expresses desire to complete the design in
time to apply for grants in early summer 2021. We think that
the project will be better informed if we get the chance to
observe the sites during the summer. We would like to use
the months of June and July to gather information about the
sites through virtual engagement, in-person meeting and
listening to the visitors and observing the site use.
Talk to the expertsPeople arriving at the swimming sites or living in the adjacent
neighborhoods have strong opinions on how things should be
done in Northampton. Our goal is to invite many voices to the
table and solicit community feedback during the design to
ensure the resulting interventions respond to the needs of the
residents and visitors alike. In the current situation requiring
social distancing, we have adapted several types of digital
engagement, including public input charrette, online meetings
and surveys, and our firm has had a great success with them.
We plan on utilizing similar methodologies here if that is still
needed. In addition to virtual outreach we will have an
in-person presence and signage at the swim sites that
engages the visitors to participate in the process via touch-
free QR codes and increases awareness of the future
improvements. We intend to meet people where they are to
assure the best community-driven outcome.
Access + accessibility Beyond meeting the compulsory ADA accessibility
requirements for the project, we will look further to make the
swimming opportunities safe and attainable for the public.

OUR APPROACH
Stantec has carefully reviewed the RFP’s detailed scope of services and our landscape architecture team is pleased to present
you with the following proposal for the Northampton River Swimming Assessment and Design Services. Our goal is to present a
work plan that provides the most value for the City and is flexible in time allocation between the six (6) sites. In order to
accomplish that, we were mindful in assigning majority of the work tasks to the core team and utilize the expert advisors
sparingly as needed. We believe this way we can complete the 30% design and ensure a successful project for all. We purposely
changed the level of completion from 25%, because it is our understanding that 30% is the level of completion typically required
of applicable grant programs, and we would want the City to have broad eligibility for funding options.
We have outlined the following scope of work assuming that a very limited permitting and utility work will be needed for this
project. Tasks, deliverables, and our proposed timeline are detailed herein.
RIVERSIDE CONCEPT DESIGN STUDY

Task 2: Public Engagement Plan
Based on the kick-off meeting we would identify a diverse set
of stakeholders and public engagement activities to solicit
input from the community. We will then coordinate a first
meeting with the selected groups and City staff to establish a
working relationship and start soliciting input on the desired
project features. At the meeting we will share with the group
our preliminary thoughts on the community engagement plan
and timing of the public events. We will solicit group’s
feedback on best approach. Based on the meeting we would
prepare simple digital outreach materials (a flier) that will
help the City and the stakeholders invite more participants to
the design process and will be used in the survey part of the
public engagement plan.
TASK 2 DELIVERABLES
•Stakeholder meeting #1
•Community engagement plan based on feedback from the
City and the stakeholder meeting #1 (Focused mainly on
sites 1 and 2)
•Digital outreach materials (Fliers)
Task 1: Scoping and Site Reconnaissance
At the start of the project we will meet with the City’s project
team (“City staff”) at a kick-off meeting where we will discuss
the project guidelines and limits, schedule, identify
stakeholders, available documentation, and reports to be
reviewed. We are teaming up with Precision Land Surveying,
Inc. of Southborough, MA who can complete the site
reconnaissance of the project areas as needed and
determined at the kick-off meeting. Next, we will conduct a
thorough review of the pertinent documentation and core
members of our team will plan a visit to all 6 sites and gather
observations for the site analysis diagrams. We will then
present our findings to the City and propose early action
recommendations for sites #3, 4, 5, and 6 only.
TASK 1 DELIVERABLES
•Project kick-off meeting
•Inventory of reviewed existing documentation
•Site survey (site reconnaissance)—when authorized by the
City
•Site analysis diagram (6 sites)
•Early action recommendations (Sites #3, 4, 5, and 6 only)
WORK PLAN
STANTEC | 31
Parallel with that effort we would conduct the Creative
Community Engagement Activity #2 in an open house style
where we discuss the concepts. Based on the results of the
feedback during Activity #2, online engagements, stakeholder
feedback, and discussions with the City staff, we will develop
final concept design accompanied by a basic estimate of
probable cost based on our knowledge of the industry and
similar project experience.
TASK 3 DELIVERABLES
•Creative Community Engagement Activity #1
•Up to two (2) plan concepts with precedent images (site #1
and #2 only)
•One (1) basic perspective to illustrate the ideas for site #1
and #2 only
•Meeting #2 with the City
•Creative Community Engagement Activity #2
•One (1) final concept design for each site #1 and #2 only
•Basic estimate of probable cost (site #1 and #2 only)
•Permitting analysis and matrix
Task 3: Concept Alternatives
We would like to start this phase with the Creative
Community Engagement Activity #1 which would consist of
our team members spending time on site during the summer
months when beach-goers are using the site to talk with
people. We will create a short, electronic survey that people
can quickly answer on their mobile devises or desktop
computers. Neighbors are an important consistency, but
facility users must also be included in the discussion.
Informed by the onsite interviews and the online survey we
would prepare up to two (2) plan concepts for each site #1
and #2 with associated basic perspectives to illustrate the
ideas distilled from the community feedback. The plans will
be accompanied by series of precedent images depicting
proposed project elements. We will then coordinate a meeting
with City staff to discuss the proposed concepts. After the
meeting, the concept options would be shared with the
stakeholders in an electronic form so they can weigh in on the
options.

TASK 4 DELIVERABLES
•Creative Community Engagement Activity #3
•30% Design development drawings and specifications
•Updated permitting analysis and matrix
•Basic cost estimate based on industry knowledge
(site #1 and #2 only)
•Meeting #3 with City
PROPOSED TIMELINE
As we are all aware, we are all working in unprecedented
times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation
is a very fluid one. Our proposal is based on what we
understand as of today, but may change as conditions
change. We would be pleased to have a further discussion
with you to share our respective plans and efforts to help
manage and mitigate the impact of this evolving situation
on your proposed project, should any arise.
Task 4: 30% Design Development
We would like to start this phase with the Creative
Community Engagement Activity #3 to present the final
concept to the community and solicit any additional feedback
on the direction of the project. Based on community
comments and feedback from City staff, we will note design
adjustments needed at this point and will incorporate them in
the 30% design development set in this phase. We will not be
revising the final concept plans from Task 3. We will prepare
the design development drawings according to industry
standards that describe the project in site preparation, layout
and materials, grading, site details, etc. The 30% design
development drawing set will be reviewed at a meeting #3
with the City staff and we anticipate including the following
plans and details:
•Existing conditions plan based on the survey
•Construction sequencing plan (as needed)
•Layout and materials plan
•Sections and elevations (as needed)
•Grading plan (as needed)
•Site improvement details
Along with the plans we will provide a basic cost estimate
and updated permitting analysis and matrix.

FEE
PROPOSAL
The proposed fee breakdown details requested RFP items:
•Fixed fee for the work outlined on Page 1, as well as
•Fixed fee, fee estimate, or other ways to understand the full
fee of taking the design to 100% plans, specifications,
estimates, bid package, and construction administration.
As outlined in the previous section, our proposed scope of
services work plan raises the design development level to 30%
from the RFP’s 25% to help the City unlock more access to grants
that typically require 30% design.
There are many ways a design fee can be determined for
completion of the work from the 30% package through
construction administration. We want to be mindful of the
resources available to the City and based on our experience with
similar scale and type of riverfront projects that we have
completed recently, the most accurate estimate would range
from 8-12% of the project construction cost. That said, once the
30% design cost estimate is completed, we will have a better
ability to answer the question.
This section also details services not included in our proposed
scope and fee and terms for additional services, should
additional services we’ve detailed in our scope be requested by
the City.
Let’s get to it!
