Master Plan Service

The government authority in Bellingham, Washington requires a vendor to provide a comprehensive trail master plan that establishes a clear vision and actionable strategy for trail development, wayfinding, access improvements, habitat conservation, and long-term stewardship. The requested scope includes reviewing existing data, plans, reports, maps, and regulatory context, as well as collecting online input regarding trail routes, recreational needs, and branding preferences. The buyer also expects the vendor to review and verify mapped formal and social trails, inventory slopes and hazards, assess unauthorized trails for closure or restoration, and inventory on-street connectivity alongside pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The buyer limits eligibility to USA organizations and specifies that work performance will occur offsite. The buyer requests proposals for the project budget. Interested vendors must submit all questions no later than September 28, 2026.
