PA75200553-1 The City of Phoenix is seeking a qualified design team to provide detailed design, construction plans, engineer’s cost estimates, and possible construction administration and observation with special inspections services for the Hance Park Master Plan recently completed for the redevelopment of Margaret T. Hance Park – an existing 32-acre urban park over the US Interstate Highway 10 within Downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The redevelopment project site spans one mile between 3rd Street and 5th Avenue and is under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Transportation [ADOT]. The estimated total cost for design and phased construction for this project is $118 million over multiple fiscal years as outlined in the Hance Park Master Plan – 2016 Final Design Report. SECTION I – PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Hance Park Master Plan redevelopment has been envisioned as a vibrant civic space and urban park that serves as a catalyst for the physical, social and economic health of the Phoenix metropolitan community. The new park establishes three main zones based on the unique regional geography and geology artfully interpreted as “The Valley”, “The Canyon” and “The Plateau” and employs sustainable initiatives to serve as a model for large urban parks in arid regions. Proposed park elements and amenities include: a stage / amphitheater; food and beverage kiosks and pavilions; architectural shade structures and elements; water features; splash pad; movable and fixed site furnishings; bike amenities such as bike share stations; bike racks, and bike pavilion; exercise amenities with connections to the neighborhood; playscapes; urban skate plaza/multi-functional plaza; integration of the existing dog park; visual landmarks such as interactive installations, unique architectural structures and public art; integrated site lighting; comprehensive arid landscape; state of the art irrigation technology; site and feature landform grading; as well as integrated drainage strategies. The Hance Park Master Plan is anticipated to be constructed in three phases as follows: Phase 1 is intended to transform the identity of Margaret T. Hance Park and activate the central “Oasis Plaza” with day and night program featuring visual landmarks, shade elements, botanic gardens, water features, splash pad, skate park, bicycle amenities and public restrooms over two sub-phases: Phase 1A site improvements include key catalytic site elements of the existing historic Firehouse and a Skate Plaza. Phase 1B site improvements include the signature “Cloud” shade structure, enhanced pedestrian experience from Central Avenue, potential of a temporary performance pavilion and a portion of the “Canyon” adventure plaza.

PA75200553-1 Design RFQ Rev. 2/17 Phase 2 enriches the programming opportunities for community events and activates the central urban plaza with additional improvements to the “Canyon” and “Plateau” zones including a permanent performance pavilion. Phase 3 completes the “Valley” and enhanced dog park.

  • Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address April 11, 2012 Prepared for Delivery
    Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address April 11, 2012 Prepared for Delivery Thank you. Welcome to everyone in the room here today. And welcome to those watching on the Internet – as we live stream the State of the City for the first time. Thanks to my wonderful wife Nicole for your support, encouragement, patience and for being such a dedicated mom to our two young children, Trevor and Violet. As Mayor, I have great teammates on the Phoenix city council. Each has entered public service for all the right reasons and each deserves recognition for what they do for our city – Vice Mayor Michael Johnson, Councilwoman Thelda Williams, and Councilmen Sal DiCiccio, Bill Gates, Michael Nowakowski, Tom Simplot, Daniel Valenzuela, and Jim Waring. As Mayor, I stand on the shoulders of great Mayors who came before me: John Driggs, Terry Goddard, Paul Johnson, Skip Rimsza, and Phil Gordon. Each of you has an outstanding legacy. To the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce – thank you for hosting today, and for being such strong leaders for our community. I want to give a very special welcome to someone. I believe our city needs a renewed commitment to community policing. The people of our city are safest when the Police Department has great relationships with neighborhood leaders, local businesses, schools and churches. That's why when I became Mayor, I knew we needed a Police Chief who shares these values. I believe we found that person. Let’s give a big Phoenix welcome to our new police chief, Daniel Garcia and his wife, Irma.

  • Agenda for Formal Meeting
    PHOENIX CITY COUNCIL FORMAL AGENDA WELCOME! Thank you for participating in the process of representative local government. We welcome your interest and hope you and your neighbors will often attend Phoenix City Council meetings. Democracy cannot endure without an informed and involved electorate. Phoenix operates under a Council-Manager form of local government. Policy is set by the Mayor and Council, and the City Manager, who is appointed by the Council, directs staff to carry out the policies. This separation of policy-making and policy Mayor Greg Stanton administration is considered the most economical and efficient form of city government. Vice Mayor FORMAL CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS District 5 The Council generally holds “formal” meetings at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesdays to Daniel Valenzuela take official action on Ordinances, Resolutions, and other items on the agenda. Although the formal agenda is subject to change, all changes to the printed agenda will be available at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Visit https://www.phoenix.gov/ District 1 cityclerk/publicmeetings to view the agenda and meeting schedule. Thelda Williams The formal meeting may appear to proceed very quickly, with important decisions reached with little discussion. However, Council Members receive the agenda the District 2 week prior to the meeting, giving them the opportunity to study every item and to ask Jim Waring questions of City staff members. If no additional information is presented at the meeting, action may be taken without discussion. District 3 Bill Gates HOW CITIZENS CAN PARTICIPATE The public may request to address the Council regarding an agenda item by submitting a yellow “Request to Speak” card at the meeting, or may submit a white District 4 card to state their support or opposition to an item for the record without speaking.

  • Phoenix 2015 Ballot Measure: Proposition 104
    Phoenix 2015 Ballot Measure: Proposition 104 Result: Approved by voters on August 26, 2015 Purpose: A 35-year plan, funded in part by a renewal and increase in the city transportation sales tax from 0.4 percent to 0.7 percent, to generate an anticipated $31.5 billion to fund local transportation projects. PHOENIX CITY PROPOSITION 104 (2015) Yes No 73,067 60,388 54.75% 45.25 % History and Condition of Phoenix’s Infrastructure Prior to the introduction of Proposition 104, Phoenix’s transportation infrastructure received its funding from a variety of sources. Two major legislative actions have outlined how Phoenix dispersed its transportation revenue. Proposition 400 Proposition 400, which passed on November 2, 2004 at a 58-42 margin, served as the primary funding source for much of Phoenix’s road system. The Proposition implemented a half-cent sales tax on all purchases within Maricopa County. Over the planned 20-year period that Proposition 400 was to take place, between 2006 and 2025, this tax increase was scheduled to raise $14.3 billion for the city’s transportation. This funding was mostly allocated to three important transportation schemes: 57 percent of revenue would fund highway development, 32 percent would fund public transit, and nine percent of revenue would fund maintenance of Phoenix’s “arterial street elements”, which were the most congestion-prone streets within Phoenix’s city limits. The remaining two percent of funds would be allocated to miscellaneous transportation projects, such as expanding bike lane coverage, running air quality control tests, dirt road paving, and other administrative planning costsi.

  • Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address March 19, 2014 Prepared for Delivery
    Mayor Greg Stanton State of the City Address March 19, 2014 Prepared for Delivery Thank you, Todd Sanders, not only for such a nice introduction and hosting today’s event, but for serving as such a valuable partner as we work to grow our local economy. You serve your members well every single day. To my wife Nicole, I couldn’t ask for a better partner, Trevor and Violet couldn’t ask for a better mom, and our community couldn’t ask for a more spectacular advocate for protecting children than you. You make me so proud. Ed Zuercher, our new city manager – our newly permanent city manager – you’ve hit the ground running. You’re a breath of fresh air, a consummate professional, and I know we’re going to do great things together. And as the City faces tough budget decisions, I’m committed to work with you and our Council to lead the way to get it solved. Police Chief Daniel Garcia, when I highlighted the issue of school safety at this event last year, you responded. One year later, every Phoenix police officer who patrols during daytime hours has received the training they need to effectively respond to emergencies at our schools – and that’s because of your leadership. Acting Fire Chief Kara Kalkbrenner, you personify the excellence we’ve come to expect from the Phoenix Fire Department. You grew up in our city, worked your way up through the ranks, and I know you’ll do a great job. And I want to welcome two of our important trade partners today.
