RE: RFQ #3916 CONGRESS SQUARE REDESIGN
Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,
Terrence J. DeWan & Associates (TJD&A), OLIN, and TYLin International (TYLI) are pleased to
present this qualifications package for the redesign of Congress Square. The Vision Statement
included in the RFQ anticipates a bold, yet sympathetic design that will unify Congress Square
and create a positive identity for Portlands Arts District. We are excited about the possibilities
inherent in this space and understand the background that led the City to the current redesign
effort. We look forward to working with the City, the many stakeholders involved, and the
public artist to develop a vibrant public amenity for Portland.
To meet the demands of this project we have assembled a team that couples local experience
and awareness of the myriad issues that must be considered with a design firm known for its
passion for urban plazas and collaboration with public artists.
TJD&A is a Yarmouth based landscape architecture firm with several decades of design and
planning experience with the City of Portland. Notable examples of our work for the City
include Bayside Trail, the renovation of Boothby Square, and the Eastern Promenade Trail.
TJD&A will serve as team leader and be responsible for site analysis, overall square design,
coordination with the City and numerous stakeholders, facilitation of outreach efforts, and
preliminary opinion of costs and the phasing plan.
OLIN is an internationally recognized landscape architecture and urban design firm with studios
in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Over the past forty years OLIN has created numerous award
winning plazas and parks that have brought richness and art to the public realm. Examples of
their work include Bryant Park in NYC, Director Park in Portland OR, and Dilworth Plaza in
Philadelphia. Locally, the firm worked with Pei Cobb Freed & Partners on the landscape design
for the Charles Shipman Payson Building of the Portland Museum of Art, which has become a
modern landmark and one of the anchors of Congress Square. OLIN will serve as design
landscape architect for the schematic design, and will be responsible for evaluation and redesign

TJD&A OLIN TYLI CONGRESS SQUARE REDESIGN COVER LETTER JANUARY 28, 2016

of the sunken plaza and its integration into the Square. They will also work closely with TJD&A
and the selected artist to integrate the artwork(s) into the design.
TYLI will be responsible for schematic level civil engineering and coordination of traffic
management components of the five way intersection that comprise Congress Square. TYLI will
also be available to assist the City in determining the feasibility and appropriateness of a shared
use concept for all or part of the intersection. They will also present the design of the Square to
Maine Department of Transportation if it involves reconfiguration of the existing street pattern.
In accordance with the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), we have organized our response into
the following components:
1. Narrative: a brief overview of the experience and creativity that we bring to Congress
Square; our understanding of the scope and complexity of the issues involved; our approach
to project coordination and working with the public and the selected public artist.
2. Project Staff: provides background on the professionals from each firm who will be

TJD&A OLIN TYLI QUALIFICATIONS FOR CONGRESS SQUARE REDESIGN JANUARY 28, 2016

TYLI
The Falmouth office of TY Lin International provides professional traffic and civil engineering
services including streetscapes, site design, water and wastewater, roadway and parking. TYLIs
Falmouth office employs 45 people and has been providing engineering services to a variety of
clients and MaineDOT for over 30 years. The office has worked on over 100 local projects over
the years. These include large MaineDOT projects such as the Caribou Connector and the
award winning Veterans Memorial Bridge connecting Portland and South Portland, as well as
numerous roadway, pedestrian/bicycle, and small transportation projects in other communities
throughout Maine.
TY Lin provides services on all phases of project development and delivery, including planning,
design, construction support and inspection, construction engineering, and program
management. The Falmouth staff has designed a wide variety of site developments including
municipal and private parking lots, bicycle and pedestrian trails, roadways, sidewalk
improvements, boardwalks and pedestrian bridges, retaining walls, and vehicular bridges.
PROJECT COORDINATION
Design is an iterative process. The urban realm that defines Congress Square will require careful
considerations of circulation patterns (both pedestrian and vehicular), City ordinances and
policies, community program requirements, abutting land uses, utility infrastructure, and a host
of other factors. These multi disciplinary challenges inherent in urban design demand a
collaborative approach in which each discipline understands and respects the scope, expertise
and responsibility of not only their fellow design professionals but of their client.
Project coordination will start on Day One, with a review of prior design work and other
materials to be provided, and a thorough discussion and evaluation of the community vision and
design program. City Staff will be key players in the coordination effort by providing information
and insight into the sites physical and social characteristics.
All team members are very familiar with the communication and coordination efforts required
for a project of this size and complexity. Team coordination will be facilitated by TJD&A through
weekly conference calls and teleconferences, electronic data exchanges, and regular updates.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The success of any urban design project lies directly in the hands of the community it will serve.
Congress Square has many stakeholders who will need to be brought into the discussion about
the future of this focused space, including:

City of Portland (owner, funding, and maintenance)

Maine Department of Transportation (roadway design)
Friends of Congress Square Park (programming, public outreach)
Portland Public Art Committee (funding, approval, and curating public art installation)
Land Bank Commission (compliance with Land Bank Ordinance)
Parks Commissions (project review)
Portland Museum of Art, Childrens Museum (major institutional uses on the Square)

TJD&A OLIN TYLI QUALIFICATIONS FOR CONGRESS SQUARE REDESIGN JANUARY 28, 2016

Westin Harborview Hotel (historic landmark with entry on the Square)

Local residents in Parkside and nearby senior housing
Other businesses (H. H. Hay Building, State Theater, Schwartz Building)
Maine College of Art students, tourists, shoppers, and other visitors to the City.

We will be starting with a defined community vision and a program for the Square.
Understanding the environmental, social, and historical significance of the site and its context
will be a key step in ensuring that the resulting design will be amenable to all parties involved.
Obtaining consensus on a final design will involve interpreting the vision and program in a way
that respects the opinions and requirements of all stakeholders and the community at large.
All members of the team have completed urban design and traffic movement projects that have
had substantial community involvement. This experience will be brought to bear on Congress
Square. Even though we may not participate in many of the community engagement meetings,
we will provide the City with graphic tools (analysis diagrams, existing conditions photographs,
rendered site plans, cross sections, perspective sketches, photographs of similar projects and
details) and a narrative to be used in public presentations, press releases, and the Citys website.
Example of our work Include site plans that were developed for public input into the design of
the Bayside Trail in Portland, and a series of renderings that OLIN completed for a successful
fundraising effort for the 11th Street Bridge project in Washington DC.
COORDINATION WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ARTISTS
As a five year member of the Portland Public Arts Committee, Terry DeWan brings an insiders
perspective on the inner workings of the PPAC, the artist selection process, and, more
importantly, the role that public art can play in the redesign of Congress Square.
OLIN has a vibrant history of collaborating with environmental artists. In addition to designing
sculpture gardens for the National Sculpture Garden, Philadelphia and Toledo Museums of Art,
their collaboration with artists includes: Janet Echelman, Roxy Paine, Jenny Holzer, Ellsworth
Kelly and Spencer Finch. They have also designed and implemented Sol LeWitts conceptual
work of environmental art: Lines in Four Directions in Flowers, a site specific work at the foot of
the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Landscape architects can play a significant role in the development of site specific public art
installations that engage and animate the public realm. We are very excited about the
possibilities expressed in the Goals statement for the public art, recognizing its potential to
create energy and transform the space with its presence. An example of exceptional
transformation can be seen at Dilworth Park, at Philadelphias City Hall, where OLIN has been
working with Janet Echelman on Pulse. When completed, the artwork will trace the paths and
movement of the subway lines below with illuminated curtains of atomized water. A short
video of the proposed installation can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFaP

DILWORTH PARK
PHILADELPHIA, PA / 20062014
OLINs renovation of Dilworth Park in the heart
of Philadelphia has created an engaging and
multi-functional public commons and transit
hub at the foot of the citys historic City Hall.
A pair of glass pavilions provide monumental
gateways to the subway station below the
park. The fountain jets, flush with surrounding
paving, keep the plaza cool and provide visual
interest during the day, but can be turned off
to open up the plaza for events. In wintertime
the fountain serves as an ice rink. Integrated
into the fountain is artist Janet Echlemans
Pulse, with changing colored ribbons of
atomized fog triggered by the movement
of transit below the park. A low lawn panel
provides an opportunity for passive recreation
and sunny seating areas. Lunch crowds are
accommodated by a caf with casual, movable
tables and chairs for 100 patrons.

DIRECTOR PARK
PORTLAND, OR / 20062009
Formerly a parking lot the size of a city block,
Simon and Helen Director Park now offers
Portland a significant new urban plaza. The
park, built entirely over structure, has created
public spaces with a range of microclimates,
amenities, and activities, and has quickly
become a unique destination and landmark
for residents and visitors. A signature element
is a glass and wood canopy accessible from
the adjacent sidewalk and sitting high along
the streets edge, offering views over the
park. A water element with arching jets and
a semi-circular basin creates a comfortable
environment for pedestrians and reinforces the
architectural massing of the site by addressing
the street edge. Other elements include loose
caf seating with WiFi, permanent stone
and wood benches, street trees, custom
lighting and a kiosk caf. Both the stonepaved surfaces and glass canopy incorporate
innovative stormwater techniques to capture
and reuse runoff on-site.

COLUMBUS CIRCLE
NEW YORK, NY / 20012005
OLINs redesign of Columbus Circle is based
on concentric rings of movement and light,
to elicit the feeling that the circle is not
only the center of the city, but the center of
the universe. Today, people stop, meet and
relax in the hub of a swirl of traffic late into
the evening. The fountain is formed by a
series of concentric ledges with cascad-ing
water and jets arching toward the center to
reinforce the circular design and primacy of
the monument, mask traffic noise, and temper
the summer climate. When turned off, the
concentric ledges serve as seating to avoid
the typically forlorn character of unused
fountains during winter months. Customdesigned benches are scaled to complement
the civic space, and are wide enough to allow
individuals to sit comfortably back-to-back.
Columbus Circle demonstrates the potential
of reclaiming social space in conjunction with
rethinking transportation infrastructure. The
redesign devotes less area to vehicles, yet
traffic now flows more efficiently. Disciplining
traffic as part of transportation planning, and
successfully balancing it with social needs is
a difficult task, but one that is successfully
addressed at Columbus Circle and can serve
as a model for other cities.

RODIN MUSEUM
PHILADELPHIA, PA / 2004-2011
OLIN rejuvenated the garden landscape
surrounding the Rodin Museum, home of the
largest collection of the artists works in the
world. The landscape enhances the original 1928
plans for the garden by architects Paul Cret and
Jacques Grber, restoring components of the
original design while creating contemporary
spaces for museum visitors and social events.
The design restores the symmetry of the formal
French plan and reunifies the entire city block
as a public garden befitting the cultural corridor
of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway often referred
to as Museum Mile. The revitalization of the
Rodin Museum was an essential component
of a framework plan for the Benjamin Franklin
Parkway completed by OLIN in 2003.
OLINs design solutions include the preservation
of original walls and structures within the garden
and the incorporation of new architectural
elements and durable paving. The installation
of new paths and ramps at specific, discrete
locations allow visitors full access to the gardens
and grounds. The new planting plan features
many plantings specified in the historical 1928
plans while introducing new native species. The
plan for the grounds outside the formal gardens
provides sweeping pathways and lawns among
groves of London Planes, while a free-standing
stone entrance gatea replica of the entry at
Rodins 18th-century country estateis a grand
introduction to the museum from the Benjamin
Franklin Parkway.

11TH STREET BRIDGE

PARK
WASHINGTON, DC / 2014
OLINs winning design for the 11th Street
Bridge Park Competition connects two
historically disparate sides of the Anacostia
River with a series of rooms and active
zones, including two sloped ramps that
elevate visitors to maximized look-out
points to landmarks in either direction. Each
ramp terminates in a waterfall that visually
reconnects the ramps to the river below. In
addition to demonstrating how plants cleanse
captured rainwater, the waterfalls above the
bridge deck provide cooling breezes and
a calming sound. The waterfall below the
structure collects surface river water and
drops it back into the river, emphasizing the
need for river aeration and higher oxygen
levels. To encourage visitors to the bridge and
neighboring communities, the design includes
amenities for comfort and refreshment and an
open plaza for markets, festivals and theatrical
performances. The form of the bridge
creates an iconic encounter, an X instantly
recognizable as the rivers new image.

DESCRIPTION

State and High Street Two Way Conversion Study

Portland, Maine

TYLI provided with technical assistance in the

evaluation of converting State and High Streets
to two way streets between I 295 and
Commercial Street. The results of a traffic
simulation analysis following the conversion to
two way flow indicates that from a traffic flow
perspective the change is feasible and
preliminary engineering analyses should be
conducted. The feasibility study detailed level of
service, required intersection adjustments as it
relates to geometry or turn prohibitions, on
street parking impacts, and a large vehicle
intersection turn analysis. The study was
recently adopted by the City Council for further
consideration.

Portland, Maine

TYLI provided preliminary and final design

services to MaineDOT for traffic and pedestrian
improvements along Park Ave. from Deering
Ave. to St. John St., and along St. John St. from
Park Ave. to Congress St. The scope involved a
road diet that converted the existing 4 lane
sections to 3 lanes one travel lane in each
direction with a center two way left turn lane.
Improvements included ADA compliant ramps,
pedestrian signals, curb bump outs to improve
safety, and traffic signal improvements. A
proposed section consisting of two 11 foot
travel lanes, a 12 foot center lane, and 6 foot
bicycle lanes was presented. In support of
concerns raised by MaineDOT at the Congress

Portland and South Portland, Maine

MaineDOT selected TYLI and Reed & Reed for

this design build project. TYLI was responsible
for the 1610 foot bridge and roadway design,
traffic analysis, utility coordination, right of way
mapping and negotiation/acquisition, and
maintenance of traffic design for this multiple
award winning structure. TYLI was responsible
for the design ties into the adjacent Fore River
Parkway in a manner that eliminates one of the
approaches of a congested 4 way intersection
on the Portland side of the bridge. In support of
this design alignment, detailed traffic simulation
models were developed to display traffic
performance. Ultimately the SimTraffic model
proved that traffic flow would improve with this
innovative roadway concept. A Context
Sensitive Solutions process was used to finalize
elements of the aesthetic treatments and plan
the details of the service memorials that are
incorporated along the multi use path on the
bridge as a tribute to Maines veterans. A key
part of the project from a traffic operations
perspective was the design of traffic signals at
four closely spaced intersections.

brownfield along a working waterfront, which until this
project opened, had completely cut off the local
community from its beloved ocean views.
Loyola College Intercollegiate Athletic Complex;
Baltimore, MD.* Loyola College of Maryland already
had a solid athletics program but wanted to build a
state of the art athletic complex that would propel
their program to the top in Division 1 Lacrosse. They
didnt have enough space on their existing campus to
build and ended up purchasing a nearby landfill
for the project. Sasaki was hired to make this project
a reality and it opened in the Spring of 2010. Along
with producing construction documents my role also
included production of graphics that would illustrate
the complexities of building a playfield on a capped
landfill.
