Request for Statements of Qualifications for Parks and Recreation Assessment

The Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District in Texas has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking consulting firms to develop a comprehensive parks and recreation assessment. The procurement solicits detailed professional services focused on conducting an in-depth operational and financial analysis of the district's parks and recreation facilities. Specific deliverables include a cost-recovery plan, strategic financial analysis, financial sustainability assessment, budgetary forecasts, staffing analysis, programming quality evaluation, and capital improvement funding strategies. The scope requires a thorough operational assessment of facilities and amenities, program delivery evaluation, identification of operational gaps, staffing level review, and development of a five-year staffing plan and tiered pricing model. Evaluation will be conducted by a district staff committee using a 100-point scoring system that considers project manager experience (30 points), proposed staff experience (15 points), lead firm project experience (25-40 points), subconsultant experience (0-15 points), and team approach (15 points). Written questions are due by December 1, 2025, with Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) required to be electronically submitted by 4 p.m. on December 15, 2025, to procurement@bcmud.org. The district anticipates selecting a vendor on February 12, 2026.

The RFQ follows Texas Government Code Chapter 2254, which establishes a qualifications-based selection process where the most highly qualified provider will be selected based on demonstrated competence. Firms must submit electronic documentation limited to 20 single-sided pages, excluding a statement of interest letter and resumes, and provide three references from similar-sized clients served within the past two to five years. No specific funding amount or source is identified, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are mentioned. The district will use a standard Professional Services Agreement (Exhibit C) and will negotiate contract terms with the highest-ranked respondent. If initial contract negotiations are unsuccessful, the district will sequentially approach the next highest-ranked respondent. No incumbent vendors are listed, and no specific infrastructure or technology integration requirements are detailed in the procurement documents.
