The County of Stanislaus (County) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified and experienced organizations with expertise in long-term capital improvement and replacement plan to have its parks and recreation facilities evaluated to help determine long-term capital improvement and replacement needs. This assessment will assist the department in coming up with a replacement/maintenance plan as well as budgeting for the County's Park and Recreation Department located at 3800 Cornucopia Way, Modesto CA 95358. The County is seeking a consultant to assist in compiling information on its parks and recreation facilities to help develop a long-term plan for maintaining, renovating, and replacing facilities. The selected firm will use existing reports, such as the 2018 Parks and Recreation Master Plan, provided by the County to the consultant, along with site visits, discussions with staff to develop the assessment. The County is not anticipating that the assessment will involve prioritizing needs, but rather focus on documenting existing conditions, projecting anticipated life cycles, and estimating replacement costs. The County is seeking a qualified consultant team with relevant experience and knowledge to: (1) Study existing information, reports, and other data that is available about the County's Park and Recreation facilities;
(2) Conduct site visits to review and document existing conditions;
(3) Develop a facility inventory that includes age, existing condition, life expectancy, plan-level replacement costs, and other information that may be needed to plan for long-term renovation and replacement costs;
(4) Prepare and present a draft assessment for feedback; and
(5) Prepare and present final assessment.
The information compiled in this process will help the County determine how best to plan for and fund its long-term capital and deferred maintenance needs for parks and recreation facilities.
