Denny Blaine Park Long-Range Plan and Design

The City of Seattle Parks and Recreation department is seeking qualifications from landscape design and planning firms to develop a long-range renovation plan and design short-term improvements for Denny Blaine Park. With a total budget of 400,000 dollars, the project scope encompasses site analysis, conceptual and schematic design, and construction administration. Key objectives include the design of durable public waterfront facilities, shoreline restoration, and the planning of public restroom facilities and multi-modal access for biking, walking, and transit. All work must adhere to the most stringent accessibility standards, including the 2010 ADA Standards, the Seattle Building Code, and various state and federal regulations. The anticipated period of performance runs from Spring 2025 through Spring 2027. Selection is based on a best-value trade-off approach, with 90 percent of the score derived from a technical evaluation and 10 percent from potential interviews. Primary evaluation factors include experience with public waterfront parks, frontline community engagement—specifically with the Queer and local communities—and a demonstrated commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Qualified firms must possess a valid Washington State UBI and a City of Seattle business license. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the City of Seattle procurement portal by 5:00 pm on Friday, February 21, 2025, with all inquiries submitted by February 14, 2025.
