Recreation ProjectOverview The City of Alameda Recreation and Park Department is seeking individuals, teams, firms, or a combination thereof for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an Architect to provide design, permitting, establishment of engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost and related services for renovation of the Encinal Boat Launch Facility. The project is located on the west end of Alameda adjacent to Encinal High School on Central Ave. This portion of project is funded by a grant through the California State Department of Boating and Waterways Division. Project Description The Encinal Launch Facility is an important recreational asset that provides direct and free access to the San Francisco Bay for all residents. It is an aging facility with a poorly paved parking lot, unusable restrooms, inadequate dock floats and a ramp that is deteriorated and unusable during extreme low tides. Redesign includes: • Replace the existing dock float and add a smaller dock float for non-motorized watercraft. • Renovate the boat ramp and extend it farther into the water so it is usable at extreme low tide. • Repave the parking lot, remove the medians and add parking spaces. • Replace the restroom facility. • Create ADA compliant access between the parking lot, restroom and boat ramp plus an ADA boat parking station. • Add a fish cleaning station. • Creating new lighting, signage, and vehicle safety features.
