Civic Campus and Parks Master Plan

Klamath County, Oregon is seeking proposals for a Civic Campus and Parks Master Plan through a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Yachats. The procurement seeks a qualified architectural and engineering firm to develop a comprehensive master plan for multiple city-owned properties, including City Hall, the Commons Building, Pavilion, Commons Park, Yachats Library, Little Log Museum, and Pocket Parks. Proposers must demonstrate expertise in architectural design, cost estimating, and public engagement, with specific requirements to host public meetings and provide detailed project cost breakdowns. The project involves creating a strategic master plan that addresses potential future improvements, such as solar panel and battery storage installations for the Commons Building and potential construction of an estuary boardwalk. The RFP requires proposers to submit comprehensive information about their team's experience, including previous master plan projects, architectural capabilities, and construction expertise. The proposal deadline is July 26, 2024, at 4:00 PM, with the city reserving the right to seek clarifications, negotiate final contract terms, and select the most qualified proposer based on the established evaluation criteria.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. The city has allocated a budget of $120,000 for the master plan project, with an expectation that proposers will provide a detailed cost breakdown by staff classification and task. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The project will require integration with existing city infrastructure, including multiple buildings and parks within the Yachats municipal area. The Condition Assessment Report for the Yachats Commons Building suggests potential additional improvements that may be incorporated into the master plan, such as addressing emergency exit requirements, roof repairs, and systems upgrades. Proposers should be prepared to work closely with city officials and potentially engage in multiple rounds of review and public consultation to develop a comprehensive and acceptable master plan that meets the city's long-term civic and parks development objectives.
