Parks, Recreation, and Aquatics Fee and Cost Recovery Analysis

The City of Bozeman is seeking proposals from onshore USA organizations to conduct a comprehensive analysis and update of the fees charged for its parks, recreation, and aquatics programs, services, and facilities. The selected consultant will evaluate service delivery costs, review existing fee schedules and cost recovery practices, analyze peer agencies, and provide research-based recommendations for a sustainable and equitable fee structure.

Proposals must be submitted digitally as a single WCAG-compliant, searchable PDF file under 25MB via email. Submissions must include an executive summary, detailed project approach, firm experience with three to five recent project descriptions, project team qualifications, a proposed schedule, and a cost proposal. The City will evaluate submissions based on Executive Summary (5 points), Project Approach and Related Experience (40 points), Project Team and Staffing Plan (25 points), Proposed Schedule (10 points), and Cost Proposal (20 points).
