22-26 RFQ - Parks Planning and Public Engagement Services

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS: 22-26

The City of Mercer Island requests submittals from qualified firms to provide planning and public engagement services for parks projects prioritized in the City’s 2022 Parks Recreation and Open Space Plan and the draft six-year Capital Improvement Program. Successful applicants will specialize in general parks & recreation facilities design, engineering, and/or construction; general parks system master planning; master planning for waterfront parks & recreation areas; public outreach and engagement; or other disciplines relevant to planning and public engagement for parks projects. Through this process, the City aims to either identify a single, full-service firm that will undertake all projects outlined in this RFQ; multiple firms to combine and undertake projects that most align with their area(s) of expertise; a single firm to lead a cohesive public engagement strategy across all projects; or some combination thereof that would successfully enable the City to efficiently and equitably complete two planning projects for three parks in 2023.  

Direct all submittal questions to Sarah Bluvas at sarah.bluvas@mercerisland.gov no later than 5pm on October 14, 2022. It is the obligation and responsibility of the submitter to learn of addendums, responses, or notices issued by the City relative to this RFQ.
