The purpose for the request for proposal (RFP) is to obtain quotations for the
development of a comprehensive master plan for the City's Central Park.

Community Parks should meet the following site criteria:
• Opportunities to share park facilities with future schools, a future
community center or other public buildings should be explored.
• Land shall be easily accessed by pedestrian or bike and provide
convenient and safe vehicle access to a collector or arterial street.
• Since these parks are heavily used and often are lit, adjacent land uses
should be considered to avoid conflicts.
• Land shall have a continuous area of 30-60+ acres of usable upland.
Consider an additional 25% for unforeseen needs. Land shall typically
have a length/width ratio of no more than 3/1.
• Areas desired for active recreation shall be usable upland. This land shall
be of solid subgrade, and have well drained subsoils suitable to support
the growth of healthy turf and athletic field use. Land should have slopes
of less than 6%. Excessive slopes can hinder recreational use and
development.
• When considering sites for a park it is essential that upland that is not
ecologically sensitive land be acquired for facilities such as parking,
access, picnic areas, and small play areas. Care should also be taken when designing trail and overlook systems to ensure park development
does not disturb sensitive wildlife species or plant communities. Some
natural areas are not appropriate for passive recreation and access may
be limited to views from overlooks.
