“City of Havelock, Request for Proposals To develop a Parks and Recreation Master Plan”

The City of Havelock is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to develop a Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The plan should create a roadmap for ensuring fair quantity, proximity, and connections to quality parks and green space, recreation facilities, and programs throughout the community. The scope of work includes internal assessment, community engagement, resource and data collection, implementation, and development of final plans and supporting materials. The City is looking for a system-wide approach to develop goals, policies, and guidelines, and prioritize strategies based on current and future funding scenarios. • The primary goal of the plan is to identify the City's need for future parks, trails, facilities, programs, and services based on significant public input. • The plan should guide the City of Havelock's actions over the next decade in the redevelopment, acquisition, and development of parks, facilities, and amenities. • The consultant will collect and analyze data to develop a clear set of goals, policies, and standards for the City of Havelock's park system, green space, trails, recreation facilities, and program development. • The Comprehensive Plan will include a complete inventory of existing parks, facilities, amenities, and services, with a thorough assessment of select parks and facilities identified by staff based on usage and needs. • The plan will also include analysis of departmental needs, including funding sources, full-time employees, maintenance equipment, etc. • A critical element of the process will be robust public engagement through traditional means and current trends to ensure the City of Havelock is addressing public needs.
