70-Acre_Park.pdf

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) document for the Town of Farragut, Tennessee, seeking a qualified firm to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for a newly acquired 70-acre park property located at the northwest corner of McFee Road and Boyd Station Road, spanning both Knox and Loudon Counties. The project requires the selected firm to work collaboratively with town officials, residents, and stakeholders to create a detailed master plan that addresses public input, conceptual planning for a roundabout entrance off McFee and Boyd Station roads, internal park roadway design, parking facilities, pedestrian and bicycle circulation pathways, and at least one permanent restroom facility. The master plan must ensure full compliance with Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) grant requirements and applicable local regulations while guiding future development phases, preservation efforts, and programming decisions for the park.

The project is funded through a $2.5 million Federal Land and Water Conservation Foundation Grant, which was awarded to the Town of Farragut and is managed by TDEC. This funding source directly supports the master planning initiative and establishes the financial framework for the project. The master plan deliverable will serve as the authoritative guide for all future capital improvements, operational decisions, and community programming at the 70-acre facility, ensuring alignment with both state conservation standards and local priorities established through the public engagement process.
