Parks & Recreation Strategic Plan Update

The City of Wheat Ridge is soliciting proposals for a Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan Update under solicitation number 26-50. The selected consultant will provide professional facilitation, organizational assessment, strategic analysis, and implementation planning to establish a five-year strategic direction for the Parks and Recreation Department. Key deliverables include a final five-year strategic plan in accessible and editable formats, a concise executive summary, a detailed implementation matrix, a performance-measure framework, and a recommended annual review process. The project is anticipated to begin in 2027 with a duration of approximately four to six months, and all deliverables must be completed within that calendar year. The contract is awarded based on the apparent best value and greatest benefit to the City, with technical proposals evaluated independently of cost. Proposers must submit pricing separately from the technical proposal to avoid disqualification, and the total cost must not exceed 25,000 dollars. Requirements for submission include signed proposals and evidence of practical knowledge and financial resources. The selected contractor must adhere to strict insurance requirements, including commercial general liability and workers compensation with waivers of subrogation, and must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
