Proposal Overview
Good design is good for business. This is because good design is an intricate weaving of aesthetics, function, and the
needs of users and service providers. Our rm has a long history of nding innovative new ways to design and pro-
duce familiar things, while bringing new life and vitality to them.
We’ve designed and manufactured innovative digital photo booths that transformed an old idea into a multi-million
dollar company. We’ve created an articulated folding solar array that sits atop a modular transportable building - a
product with a similar cost to the River Boats - now patented, trademarked, and deployed at over 30 locations across
the country and beyond. We’ve worked with a fortune 500 company to design and manufacture innovative new LED
street lighting by the hundreds. And, we’re a licensed architecture practice in Texas. We know what it takes to bring
large scale products from concept, through manufacturing and specialty fabrication, to completion.
Pairing complex fabrication and innovative business practices is in our DNA.
For the San Antonio River Boats, we propose a mixture of rened familiar elements accompanied by a sophisticated
level of modular design that allows for many dierent uses and congurations. We also propose the optional develop-
ment of a mobile app for the new eet to provide end-users with a better, easier experience and allow the City of San
Antonio to realize greater revenues.
The current riverboats oer the prospective market two familiar options: crowded, aordable tours and group dining.
These options exclude a large portion of the potential available market for these boats. For the individual who doesn’t
wish to rub elbows with dozens of other tourists or doesn’t have a large enough group to justify a group dinner on
board, the river boats are less desirable.
We will change the River Boat experience for the better.
Design
Our Approach to the River Boat Design challenge began with a simple gesture, circumscribed within the City of San
Antonio’s iconic “Deep in the Heart” logo. This simple rounded rectangle, or pill shape, creates an iconic form for the
vessels that is hydrodynamic and simple to fabricate.
The form of the boats translates clearly into an iconic logo or symbol of it’s own - clearly recognizable on the water, on
line, in smart-phone apps, on t-shirts and mugs, or on way nding signage along the river walk and at boarding loca-
tions. Perhaps, most importantly, our design looks less like a utilitarian barge and more like an elegant boat.
We rmly believe that the iconic form, brand recognition, and multi-functional modularity of our design will create
excitement unlike any since the inception of the riverboat tours in 1968. New functions and uses will translate into
new ridership as the new river boat experience aligns with an ongoing rebirth of cool on the riverwalk. The sustain-
able eciency of Torqeedo’s electric power and propulsion system will create a smooth ride and noise free experience
for both boat passengers and river walkers. The form and brand will create a new accessibility for the public, on the
river walk and online combining the simplicity of Uber with a new festive and iconic riverboat, creating a fantastic new
River Walk experience for everyone...
Functionality, Durability, and Longevity
Form follows function. We believe this. The simple and elegant form of the River Boat design is rooted in both iconog-
raphy and the exterior ergonomics of piloting the boats around tight curves in the river, and the interior ergonomics
of seating that provides maximum space and comfort. These are the functions that matter: how safely does it function
for the pilots and how comfortably does it function for the passengers? We believe our design answers these ques-
tions condently. The sections below describe durability and longevity in great detail.
CITY OF san anTOnIO rIver bOaT rIver barGe desIGn prOpOsal
Constructability
Our design proposes standard aluminum closed hull construction similar to the current river barges. Geometry is
limited to simple curves that can be easily rolled, cut, and fabricated. The stainless steel deck with integral threaded
couplings for the modular deck components will be CNC cut for accurate placement and location of the couplings so
that modular elements are guaranteed to t. Our rm has extensive experience in CNC fabrication and can supply
authored les for direct CNC cutting and fabrication with a guaranteed t.
We have coordinated carefully with Torqueedo and specied their battery and propulsion system due to their tested
experience on River Walk barges and our research conrming that they are industry leaders in this eld. The console
design will use a Torqueedo throttle with kill switch, waterproof electric switches for lighting and VHF radio, and a
hydraulic action steering wheel.
Maintenance
The hull of the boat will be fully welded Aluminum which we propose to be left unpainted to reduce maintenance at
and below the waterline. The hull will be reinforced with 4” and 6” aluminum channels internally. The rub-rails of the
boat are aluminum channel extensions with a 3/8” faceplate and a continuous black neoprene bumper bolted through
the faceplate. The face plate will be painted aluminum, along with the top plate below the guard rails. These will
require minimal re-painting as these surfaces will be protected by the bumper and will not be walked on.
The deck of the boat features 1/2” internal threaded couplings to mount a variety of modular components includ-
ing the hinged pilots console, seating, tables, and other future accessories. These couplings and the deck will be 304
stainless steel with a non-slip epoxy paint nish. The deck surface will be 3/16” thick, and will be supported by alu-
minum cross members as indicated above. The epoxy coating will need to be re-applied periodically due to abrasion
wear from foot trac. Longevity of this coating will depend on the nal product specication and the amount of
abrasive foot trac.
Seating will be constructed of powder coated aluminum or steel (depending on weight requirements and strength
needed), and will require no paint touchup. Long term scratching or abuse may require re-powder coating of such
components after 5-10 years.
Seating Surfaces will be comprised of marine grade plywood atop steel or aluminum plates (re: above), with heavy
duty vinyl and foam padded upholstery gathered and stapled to plywood, then captured by the powder coated steel
or aluminum plates to prevent fraying or loosening of the vinyl.
Railings will be powder coated 1/8” aluminum plates on tapered columns bolted to the deck. Like the modular seating
components described above, the powder coat nish will require no paint touchup, and will last 5-10 years or more
before needing to be re-powder coated. Generally, powder coating is considered a maintenance free coating, though
some sources recommend a light wax, similar to car wax, bi-annually to improve long term UV resistance and guard
against color fading.
The fold-down ramp railings will be made of 1/8” powder coated steel (instead of aluminum) to resist denting from
foot trac. These sections will be reinforced with additional members, and will have a perforated graphic pattern to
increase rigidity and minimize the size of holes to prevent high heels or wheels from penetrating. These sections will
also be painted with a non-slip epoxy coating on the interior surface. This coating, like the deck surface, will require
periodic re-painting due to foot trac.

Innovation
Advanced 3D Modeling: Our boat will be fabricated using advanced digital fabrication technologies to ensure preci-
sion and repeatability. We will create a parametric digital master model of the entire vessel - down to the smallest nuts
and bolts - to reveal fabrication conicts and provide timely delivery and quality assurance. This same model will be
used to generate material take os, and provide cost control for each component of the boats.
CNC Laser Cutting: The same CNC technologies will allow us to provide uniquely patterned guardrails that are laser
cut and/or punched with accuracy and eciency. Since cut les are authored by our oce, the cost for customization
is minimal, and dierent colors, patterns, names, etc. can be provided.
CNC Waterjet Cutting: The modular deck surface will allow for easy reconguration of seating, tables, railings, and
other future items like sun shading, parade oat decorations, oating stage set designs, and other events yet to be
imagined! The deck will be CNC water-jet cut in one piece by one of the largest CNC water-jet cutting machines in
North America. This will provide a seamless deck with highly accurate locations for the internally threaded couplings.
When not used, the couplings will be plugged with a ush fastener.
Spring-Hinged Access Ramp: The hinging guard rail ramp sections will allow for easy boarding and de-boarding
for all passengers. This railing section will lock upright into place at a slight outward angle to match the rest of the
guardrails. With an upward release, it will hinge outward to create a ramp to load passengers. The weight of the ramp
section will be oset by a concealed torsion spring below the deck level, at the pivot point. Our rm has successfully
designed and engineered hinging and/or articulating components on multiple mass-produced products.
Programmable LED Lighting: LED lighting will be used throughout, for their long lifespan and minimal draw on the
boats electric power system. Headlights (for navigating darker sections of the River Walk), port and starboard lighting,
and an all around light, as required by law for a boat less than 12 meters in length will be provided, along with a light-
ing glow at the water level that does not present a light source in conict with the above. The “ground eect” lighting
will be water proof (IP-67) rated, and will be fully programmable, with several colors and/or eects controlled by a
simple set of pushbuttons on the pilots console.
Electric Power and Propulsion: Finally, the Torqueedo electric battery and propulsion system specied below pro-
vides a highly ecient, safe, and quite ride experience for both those on the boats and those walking the River Walk.
Technical Specications
Vessel: The River Boat measures 27’-0” from bow to stern with a 9’-0” beam. The hull is aluminum with aluminum
channel reinforcing and a neoprene bumper rail.
The dry weight of the vessel will be approximately 8000 pounds, and it will draft approximately 16”, not including a 18-
24” mid-mounted aluminum keel.
A full passenger compliment will weigh approximately 6000 pounds, and will draft an additional 6-8” depending upon
the hull design and prole below water level.
Due to ADA requirements the hinged guard-rail / ramps may accommodate an 8” range of motion relative to the
passenger loading level of 17” above water level. As such the boat will be designed to have a freeboard of 21” when
empty and 13” when fully loaded. This will allow for a 1:10 slope for a 36” ramp length plus a 1/2” threshold.
The vessel will seat 43 passengers (including 2 wheelchair positions with commpainion seating on either side) com-
fortably with 21” of legroom between facing seats, 42” width for 2 person bench seats at the perimeter, and staggered
individual seats in the center row. These dimensions represent a marked improvement in personal space for all pas-
sengers.
CITY OF san anTOnIO rIver bOaT rIver barGe desIGn prOpOsal
Battery Power: We propose providing twelve (12) Torqeedo Power 26-104. These batteries are waterproof, lightweight
and will provide power for a full day of touring with the ability to charge quickly in o hours. The specications include:
deep discharge, polarity reversal, overheating and submersion
Motor Propulsion: We propose providing one (1) Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 R/T with specications as follows:
Modular Component Options
Just as this iconic form is transferable and recognizable along the river walk and beyond, the modular nature of the
form itself can be transformed to accommodate a broad range of functions. A series of coarse threaded couplings
located in the at deck surface allow for all components of the river boats to be added or removed.
Railings may be changed to t the seasons, seats may be added / removed / or recongured to t the functions of
touring, dining, commuting, and variations that have yet to be oered. Tables, shade sails, parade oat decor, thrones
for the NBA champions, and things we haven’t thought of yet, can all be attached to our multifunctional deck.
