Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan

The City of Everett is seeking a consultant or team of consultants under solicitation 2026-078 to develop a comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan for the Parks and Facilities Department. The project involves creating a six-year vision and implementation action plan, which includes updating the 2022 plan, conducting a study on park impact fee adjustments, and updating the six-year Capital Improvement Plan to align with industry best practices. This update is critical for the city to maintain eligibility for Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office grants. The expected period of performance begins in January 2027 and concludes by February 2028. The contract is a firm-fixed-price agreement requiring a lump sum for primary services and fixed hourly rates for additional work. Proposals are due by November 18, 2026, and must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the City Clerk's Office. Evaluation is based on a weighted scoring system focusing on technical capability, price, communication, qualifications, and risk performance, with a total of 400 possible points. Selected suppliers must provide a City of Everett Business License and maintain specific insurance coverages, including a one million dollar combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage and five hundred thousand dollars for automobile liability. Payment for accepted services will be issued within thirty days of receipt of a proper invoice.
