Long Wharf Waterfront Tensile Structures - Design and Install

This is part of the Long Wharf Drive Waterfront project which will close Long Wharf Drive to through traffic and expand the park and amenities. In two locations, conceptually identified on the plan sheets, a tensile cover structure is desired. Proposals are being requested from qualified firms to design the tensile structures, including foundations, then furnish and install the structures onsite. The tensile structures should provide shade/have a foot print of approximately 3,600 SF at the Southern location, and 2,000 SF at the Northern location. The structures should have peaks/eves and geometry such that the skyline and view horizontally are aesthetically pleasing. The City has performed geotechnical investigations within the site, and the report will be included with these materials. The site work of the project is anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2024 and continue through Spring of 2025.
