The Town of Firestone is seeking qualifications from consulting firms to conduct a Comprehensive Feasibility Study for Central Park, a 252-acre property acquired in 2005. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) targets experienced consultants who can assess the financial sustainability and development potential of transforming the site into a dynamic, multigenerational community destination. Key deliverables include comprehensive market and demographic analyses, economic and financial feasibility assessments, environmental and regulatory evaluations, risk mitigation strategies, and exploration of public-private partnership opportunities. Proposals are due by 1:00 pm on May 19, 2025, with a tentative consultant interview date of May 21, 2025, and potential contract award on May 28, 2025. The selected consultant must submit a comprehensive proposal demonstrating company experience, project understanding, key staff qualifications, and a separate sealed fee proposal that includes not-to-exceed fees for each project phase, man-hour allocations, anticipated expenses, and an hourly rate schedule. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project involves developing an existing site that already hosts critical municipal infrastructure including the Carbon Valley Regional Library, Town Hall, and Municipal Court and Police Department Building. The vision for Central Park includes creating mixed-use spaces with recreational opportunities, educational facilities, sports venues, entertainment options, dining, and retail spaces. Although the total contract amount is not specified, the RFQ indicates that proposing firms should provide detailed fee structures and cost breakdowns. The project represents a significant long-term strategic development initiative for the Town of Firestone, situated in Weld County, Colorado. The comprehensive feasibility study will be crucial in determining the economic viability and potential implementation strategies for transforming Central Park into a vibrant community gathering place that can serve generations to come.
