Cost Analysis Service

The government authority in Gilbert, Arizona is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive cost of service analysis and develop a sustainable cost recovery model for its parks and recreation department. The agency needs to solve the problem of outdated fee structures by benchmarking current fees, cost recovery levels, and pricing practices against a representative sample of comparable agencies. The project requires developing a tiered cost recovery model based on a recognized and defensible methodology, alongside a stakeholder engagement plan appropriate to the study. The scope of work covers all department fee-generating services, with particular emphasis placed on facility and park rentals, Ramada and open space rentals, athletic field reservations, and special event fees. The selected vendor must provide specific, actionable fee recommendations for all analyzed services, as well as tools and resources that enable department staff to independently maintain and update the cost recovery model after project completion. The project initiation, data collection, and all performance of the work will occur offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore, USA-based organizations only. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project, and evaluation criteria are not specified beyond the requested scope of work. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 10, 2026, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 17, 2026.
