This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Project Background Mount Washington State Park ("Summit") is comprised of 52 acres on the summit of Mount Washington. Overall management of the Summit and facilities to support visitors became the responsibility of the N.H. Division of Parks and Recreation ("N.H. State Parks" or "DNCR") when the Summit became a State park in 1964. The Mount Washington Commission ("Commission") advises and assists N.H. State Parks in managing the Summit. By law, the Commission must create a Master Plan for the Summit every 10 years. The Commission completed a Master Plan* "MP" (* See Appendix B) in October of 2022, and it was accepted by Governor Sununu in January 2023. Assessment Goals The Assessment should examine existing conditions within the boundary of Mount Washington State Park (the summit) and in presenting such conditions, provide recommendations in coordination and consultation with the Department of Natural & Cultural Resources as described generally throughout the Master Plan. This Assessment will form a baseline and resource for future planning. Future development proposed for the Summit will be subject to the findings and recommendations of the Assessment, and to demonstrate compliance with the Master Plan. Award This is a qualifications-based consultant selection process; candidates will be ranked in order of preference without consideration of the consultant's fee requirements. After candidates have been ranked, fee negotiations will be opened with the top ranked candidate. If agreement on the fee amount can be reached, a contract will be issued for signatures and forwarded to the Commissioner of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for approval.

This process will continue until an agreement is reached or the Director of the Division of Parks and Recreation exercises their right to reject any and all submissions. If the State decides to award a contract as a result of this RFQ process, any award is contingent upon approval of the Contract by Governor and Executive Council of the State of New Hampshire and upon continued appropriation of funding for the contract.
