ATTACHMENT A: SCOPE OF WORK
Overview:
Corpus Christi is a coastal city located on the Southern coast of Texas. It is the 59th
largest city in the United States, the 8th largest in Texas and 3rd largest port in total
tonnage in the nation. Corpus Christi ranks number 53 on the Tourism Sentiment
Index's top 100 most-loved places to visit in the world. Attracting over 5 million
visitors a year, the Marina serves as the city's premiere feature of the Bayfront,
and consist of three landmasses, two T- Heads (People and Lawrence) and one
L-Head (Coopers).
Project Description and Task List:
The marina has over 500 slips that are leased to short- and long-term tenants from
across the U.S. and is home to 20 full time liveaboard tenants. It is the center of
major events and holiday activities like the Buc Days Airshow, world class sailing
regattas, 4th of July Fireworks, and the lighted boat parade. The marina was built
in the 1940s and has continually evolved for the last 80 years with little thought
towards long term planning for each landmass or connectivity to downtown and
McGee Beach. This Master Plan will need to consider the overall
accessibility/connectivity to downtown and between each landmass, safety of
pedestrians, landscaping/hardscape, event/activity areas, future development
sites, and all necessary aspects of tying the marina together in a cohesive "master
planned" solution that will provide the best overall experience for visitors and
marina tenants.
Scope of Services:
Schematic Design Phase:
The selected firm will review existing condition surveys provided by the City and
will review laws, codes, and regulations applicable to our design services.
The selected firm will evaluate initial project information, each in terms of the
other, to ascertain the requirements of the Project. They will thus notify the City of
Corpus Christi of any inconsistencies discovered in the information and other
information that may be reasonably needed for the project. They will thus reach
an understanding with the City of Corpus Christi regarding the requirements of
the Project.
Based on the Project's requirements agreed upon with the City of Corpus Christi,
the selected firm will prepare and present for the City's approval the Schematic
Design package illustrating the scale and relationship of the Project site and
overall Schematic Design Concept.
