Design Phase

A Project Partnership Agreement (PPA) was executed between the New York District and NYC Parks on August 10, 2018 to initiate the Design and Implementation Phase of the project.  Field sampling including wetland delineation, topographic/bathymetric surveys, bio-benchmarking survey, tree surveys, hydrodynamic data collection/modeling and utility surveys were completed in 2019-2020.  The 30% designs (November 2021), Value Engineering Study (December 2021), geotechnical sampling/supplemental topographic surveys (January 2022) and 60% Plans & Specifications (P&S) were completed in December 2022.  The 90% and 100% P&S submittals were completed in May and November 2023, respectively. The 100% P&S were approved in March 2024.
