Site work for a mixed-use development in Knightdale, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field; clubhouse / community center; playground / park / athletic field; and playground / park / athletic field.

The selected firm shall develop a unique site master plan that is responsive to the site, environmentally sensitive, and sustainable. The park will be designed to allow construction in multiple phases. The site master plan shall include written and graphic analysis, recommendations, and cost estimates. The project scope shall adhere to the following basic parameters: • Phase 1 Environmental Study of the entire site. • Survey of entire site. • Identification of any public utilities that may require extension to this site for future construction. • Layout of a phased recreation complex that would contain a community center, specialized fields and/or courts, multipurpose fields, opportunities for greenway connectivity, walking trails (or cross-country course), a maintenance equipment shop, skate park, associated parking and connective streets, and stormwater infrastructure. • Marketing visuals for both the site and future community center. • Community survey and input sessions over the span of the project. Sitework design elements should include some indication of accessory landscaping to improve overall pedestrian mobility, and the entire site should conform to ADA acceptable standards for accessibility. The Town has previously commissioned a feasibility study for a community center. This study solicited significant community input and will be part of the discussion during the site master plan process. Once the initial design is complete, the Town’s Development Review Committee will be involved in the design comment phase to reduce plan review processing time. The Town’s Unified Development Ordinance will be considered from the start of the design phase of the project. The deliverables should be considered as a “Sketch Plan” under the current UDO Chapter 12 designations as to content, with some additional added elements. All individuals and firms working on this project shall be properly licensed under the North Carolina laws governing their trades. Firms submitting Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) shall have no association with elected or appointed officials that could be considered a conflict of interest. Any such relationship will subject the firm to immediate disqualification in consideration for this project. All respondents are subject to the instructions communicated and are cautioned to completely review the entire RFQ and follow instructions carefully.
