2045_Comprehensive_Plan_-_Full.pdf

This is a Comprehensive Plan document for the City of Green Cove Springs, Florida, prepared as supporting material for a state and local contract opportunity. The document serves as the planning framework guiding the City's Parks Master Plan procurement, which solicits proposals from qualified consultants to develop comprehensive master planning services for six existing city parks or recreation areas and to identify opportunities for creating additional parks and recreation facilities. The master plan must be completed within five months of the notice to proceed and will establish a ten-year planning horizon addressing maintenance needs and costs, landscape maintenance and improvements, equipment and hardscape planning, facility recommendations, and capital improvement funding opportunities. Proposals are to be submitted via OpenGov by May 1, 2026, at 2:00 pm, with Phase I committee evaluation anticipated for May 7, 2026, and optional Phase II interviews to be scheduled at a later date. The contract term includes an initial period with potential renewal options, as specified in the consultant services agreement.

The procurement does not establish a specific set-aside for disadvantaged business enterprises; however, five bonus evaluation points are available for certified veteran or service-disabled veteran business enterprise status. No incumbent vendor is identified, and no specific budget amount or funding source is detailed in the available documentation. Consultants must comply with all requirements outlined in the Scope of Services and integrate the City's Comprehensive Plan and anticipated growth projections into their master plan deliverables. The evaluation will assess proposals based on relevant project experience, technical resources and capabilities, staff expertise, references, and proposed fees on a standardized scoring rubric.
