ST. LOUIS – The National Park Service issued a solicitation today for proposals for construction on the north grounds of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The north grounds are part of the CityArchRiver 2015 Project that is revitalizing the Gateway Arch grounds and its surroundings. A meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 22 at 9:00 a.m. at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, 1 S. Broadway to learn more about the project specifics and includes a tour of the north grounds. The north grounds are approximately 22.8 acres of the northern area of the Gateway Arch grounds that include a reflecting pond, processional walks, new accessible pathways and associated landscaping. The construction work will include selective removal of existing walkways, utilities, and landscaping, while creating new infrastructure, landscaping, and lighting in the area. This is the second project funded by Proposition P: The Safe and Accessible Arch and Public Parks initiative, approved by voters in St. Louis County and St. Louis City in April 2013. Great Rivers Greenway is administering the taxpayers’ investment in this project. The design of the North Grounds was developed with private funding through the CityArchRiver 2015 Foundation.
“We’re excited to start this second project to improve the sustainability and accessibility of the Gateway Arch grounds,” stated Superintendent Tom Bradley, “creating more and improved opportunities for park programming.” All interested companies - large and small businesses, prime contractors and subcontractors including minority owned and disadvantaged businesses are encouraged to attend the event on July 22nd. Pre-registration is not required.
More details on the project and instructions on how to submit a proposal can be found at: https://www.fbo.gov/index. Responses are due within 30 days.
