The City of Syracuse Department of Parks & Recreation announced the public bidding process for the rehabilitation of the Hanover Square Fountain is open. The City of Syracuse is seeking qualified construction firms to complete structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical repairs, as well as landscaping on, and around, the iconic fountain.
The Hanover Square Fountain was originally designed and constructed in the early 1980s to introduce a new public plaza for events and gatherings in Downtown Syracuse. Over the years, continued exposure to Central New York weather impacted the structural integrity of the fountain's original brick terraced cladding. The fountain was taken out of commission in 2022 while a complete systems assessment and design was conducted by QPK Design.
A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in the Engineering Conference Room - City Hall Room 405 and contractors will be able to visit the site after the meeting. Work is anticipated to begin in March through October 2025. For more information about the bid, visit https://goto.syr.gov/hanover-fountain-bid-notice.
Proposals will be received at the City of Syracuse Division of Purchase, City Hall Room 213, by 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
