Beaufort posts RFQ for Henry C. Chambers Waterfront promenade repairs
Summary
The City of Beaufort posted a request for qualifications on July 10 seeking a multidisciplinary consultant team to design repairs to the failing 1,200-foot Long Riverside feature at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park; responses are due August 13.
The City of Beaufort has advanced planning for repairs to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park promenade, which has been closed for more than a year after officials found a failing relieving platform and support pilings due to erosion. City manager Scott Marshall said the request for qualifications (RFQ) for design services represents a meaningful step toward restoring the promenade.
According to the program, the city seeks a multidisciplinary consultant team to provide marine, coastal, geotechnical and structural engineering services for major construction work expected in the next few years. The RFQ was posted July 10 and responses are due by August 13. Assistant manager Eric Clausen described the project as "massive construction projects expected to take place in the next few years," signaling a multi-stage effort to reopen the 1,200-foot Long Riverside feature.
Why it matters: the closed promenade is a prominent public amenity and its repair will require external engineering expertise and multi-year work; the RFQ starts the procurement process that will shape the design and schedule.
