About this file
Addendum #5 for the City of Livingston's Parks Master Plan Request for Proposal (RFP) addresses questions submitted by potential bidders regarding the city's parks planning services contract. The document provides clarifications about the scope of work, including the status of the previous parks master plan, which lacked clear prioritization of projects and maintenance efforts. The city seeks a new master plan that more comprehensively defines costs for park improvements through a public process, with the goal of creating a 10+ year strategic plan for the Parks and Recreation Department.
The addendum reveals that the Parks Maintenance Division has increased to 4 full-time and 5 part-time positions, while the Recreation Department consists of 3 full-time and 12 part-time employees. The city has been making incremental progress on park improvements at approximately $50,000 per year, constrained by limited general fund dollars. The current RFP explicitly excludes Katie Bonnell Park, which is in the design and planning phase for a new Wellness Center. The city is seeking a consultant to develop a master plan that will serve as a comprehensive planning tool to identify and implement capital improvements for the parks system, taking into account sustainable amenities and projected growth needs.

PARKS MASTER PLAN RFP ADDENDUM #5
This Addendum #5 to the City of Livingston's Parks Master Plan RFP provides answers to questions submitted by holders of the RFP on or before December 21, 2023.
Q1: The previous park master plan lined out Priority Projects, Maintenance Efforts, 10-Year Plan, and Long-Term Goals per each park. How successful has the department been at implementing the Priority Projects? 10-Year Plan?
A1: I would say that the previous plan identified projects without any prioritization. It didn’t provide a true depiction of the maintenance efforts for existing infrastructure. Progress toward the plan has occurred, but only at a rate of approximately $50,000 per year. The Parks and Recreation Department is included in the City’s general fund, along with other departments that utilize the limited general fund dollars. This directly impacts the improvements to our city parks.
We are looking for an updated Master Plan that more clearly defines the costs of prioritized park improvements through a public process, which includes the ongoing maintenance of existing park amenities.
Q2: Has the Parks and Recreation Department undergone any intentional capacity building or major restructuring since the 2010 Parks and Recreation Master Plan?
A2: The Parks Maintenance Division has increased staffing to 4 full time and 5 part time positions.
The Recreation Department currently consist of 3 full time and 12 part time employees.
Q3: The City of Livingston is in the design and planning phase of removing Kate Bonnell Park to construct a new Wellness Center. Are any planning or design activities associated with this removal included in the scope of this proposal?
A3: Katie Bonnell Park is currently excluded.
