Needs Assessment and Planning Study for Karen Magnussen and Ron Andrews Community Recreation Centres

The District of North Vancouver is seeking proposals from qualified multi-disciplinary consultant teams under solicitation RFP-064-26 to conduct a service and space needs assessment and an options and feasibility study for the Karen Magnussen and Ron Andrews Community Recreation Centres. The primary objective is to establish an evidence-based foundation for future council decisions regarding the delivery of recreation and community services in the Lynn Valley and Seymour service areas. The scope includes evaluating whether existing facilities can support these services or if renewal, upgrades, expansion, replacement, relocation, or consolidation is required, while also determining the priority, timing, and affordability of potential investments. The procurement process is based on best overall value and follows a two-stage evaluation: a review of mandatory submission requirements, including the Proponent Information Form and Financial Proposal, followed by a technical and financial rating. The successful proponent will be required to provide a comprehensive project team with proven experience in decision-ready options analysis for public sector recreation projects. Deliverables include public and user group engagement, detailed analysis of operational impacts, and a final set of recommendations. The contract requires Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability insurance, with monthly invoicing submitted as PDFs to the District. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the District's Bidding System by the specified deadline.
