This document is Appendix B – Conceptual Design from a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Metroparks Toledo and Imagination Station for the Glass City Riverwalk Festival Park Design-Build Project in Ohio. The project requires qualified teams to complete site design, obtain all necessary regulatory permits, and construct improvements for the Festival Park renovation. Teams must submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) responding to all RFQ articles with sufficient detail to enable evaluation by the Owner and Imagination Station. All costs incurred in preparing SOQ responses are the responsibility of the responding team and cannot be billed to the Owner. Based on SOQs received, the Owner and Imagination Station will select a short-list of teams to proceed to the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage and participate in interviews, with final contract award based on proposal evaluation and interview performance.

The Owner and Imagination Station reserve the right to reject any and all SOQs for any reason and to pursue team selection in a manner serving the best interests of both organizations while ensuring compliance with all grant requirements financing the project. Teams submitting incomplete, inadequate, or non-responsive SOQs may be eliminated from consideration. The Owner and Imagination Station also reserve the right to waive any defect or technicality in received SOQs. This RFQ is part of a competitive procurement process where contract award decisions rest solely at the discretion of the Owner and Imagination Station.
