Parks and Open Space Plan Service

The City of Kent, WA seeks a qualified consultant team to review and update its existing parks and open space plan. The buyer requires the selected vendor to conduct a focused statistically valid survey, update GIS and nature score data, integrate the six-year capital improvement program, and produce the final plan. The requested scope involves evaluating systemwide and park-specific patterns, separating lifecycle replacement needs from capital expansions, and demonstrating how asset replacement impacts funding, staffing, operations, maintenance, and project priorities. The methodology must integrate GIS data, natural resource conditions, habitat connectivity, ecological features, recreational access, and equitable access to nature, while leveraging existing data and prior work products where practical. Eligible bidders must be onshore USA organizations. The work may occur onsite or offsite. The buyer invites proposals for the project budget and has not disclosed specific key dates or evaluation criteria.
