#32 Clinton County.pdf

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) document from Clinton County, Michigan, seeking professional services for a comprehensive countywide parks and recreation master plan. The county is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to develop a strategic blueprint that will guide parks and recreation development, programming, and resource allocation across Clinton County for the next decade. The scope of work includes community needs assessment, inventory of existing parks and facilities, stakeholder engagement, demographic analysis, and the creation of actionable recommendations for parks and recreation improvements. Proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. on the specified deadline date, with the contract term anticipated to be approximately 12-18 months from the notice to proceed. No mandatory bidder's conference or site visit is specified, though prospective bidders are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Clinton County's existing parks infrastructure.

Pricing is to be submitted as a fixed-price proposal with all costs clearly itemized and broken down by project phase. The county anticipates awarding the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal represents the best overall value. Clinton County is the sole funding source for this initiative, and the project budget range should be clearly stated in all proposals. Preference may be given to proposers with demonstrated experience in Michigan communities of similar size and complexity, as well as those with established relationships with parks and recreation stakeholders. The selected consultant will be expected to work collaboratively with Clinton County staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and community members throughout the planning process.
