PROJECT OVERVIEW

North/West Battery Park City Resiliency Project

In 2014, BPCA began a series of assessments and studies to investigate opportunities to provide a full community wide system of protection to address the risks of Battery Park City flooding resulting from storm events, coastal surge, and sea level rise associated with global climate change.

The combined North/West Battery Park City Resiliency Project contemplates the creation of an integrated coastal flood risk management system from First Place, north along the Battery Park City Esplanade, across to the east side of West Street/Route 9A and terminating above Chambers Street at a high point on Greenwich Street.

Upon award, Kiewit will provide all necessary design-build services for the design and construction of flood resiliency improvements, including flood barriers, interior drainage infrastructure, and site enhancements in the northern and western areas of Battery Park City.

The project will be delivered in two distinct phases under the Progressive Design-Build Contract:

Phase 1 (Design & Pre-Construction): Consists of preliminary engineering, site investigations (buried utility locating, confirmation of materials, etc.), geotechnical investigations, structural investigations, process evaluation, and design development, as well as preparation, in close collaboration with BPCA, of a proposed GMP and Project schedule. The Project’s design will include plans, specifications, and all necessary supporting documentation.

Phase 2 (Final Design, Construction & Acceptance): Encompasses final design, execution of subcontracts, procurement of all necessary materials, construction of the Project’s design, performance of commissioning and startup services, successful completion of acceptance testing that demonstrates project performance, and the provision of other support services in accordance with the progressive design-build contract.
