Design Services for Harbor Point & Trail

The City of Garland is seeking a qualified design partner to provide professional engineering services for the design and contract administration of the Harbor Point Promenade & Trail Improvement Project. The project involves the design of a 1.7-mile mixed-use waterfront trail, including a 0.5-mile overwater promenade, with features such as lighting, signage, benches, and pet stations. The project also includes phased construction to maintain safe public access during peak recreational periods, collaboration with local stakeholders, and environmental permitting support. The selected firm will be responsible for providing a range of services, including hydrographic and bathymetric investigations, structural design, foundation design, shoreline stabilization, and stormwater management. The project is expected to last approximately 26 months, with a design phase of 10-12 months and a construction phase of 12-14 months. Key aspects of the project include: • Design of a resilient and accessible promenade and trail system • Integration with adjacent recreation areas and future development parcels • Phased construction to maintain public access and safety • Collaboration with local stakeholders and environmental permitting support • Use of durable marine-grade materials and protective coatings to minimize maintenance • Innovative stormwater and drainage strategies to mitigate flooding and erosion
