<br />2.3 SCOPE SPECIFICS
<br />It is important that the proposals that are received accurately reflect the growing needs of the City's
<br />residents and visitors, and that the outcomes are rich in community benefit, provide revenue to the
<br />department, or greatly improve a park asset. A list of the developed Park properties is listed in Appendix
<br />A and proposals can be received for any Everett park property.
<br />The City is seeking proposals for the development and operation of facilities incorporating enhanced
<br />recreational amenities in parks, such as non-traditional, adventure or extreme sports like BMX, skate
<br />parks, throwing venues, paintball, zip line, disc golf and pump tracks at one or more Everett Parks
<br />properties. Additionally, the City is interested in improvements made to existing facilities in exchange for
<br />use, such as turf multiuse fields, rental operations, long and short-term rentals, leases, revenue share
<br />opportunities or management agreements for existing facilities. Finally, the City is seeking proposals for
<br />development and operation of year around or seasonal full -service restaurants, gift shops, dance studio,
<br />martial arts, or other businesses interested in partnering with Parks to either rent, lease or share revenue
<br />with the City and offer convenience and fun for residents utilizing the Parks. Proposals should follow the
<br />format listed in Section 4 which requests an outline of the general idea of what is being proposed,
<br />including the benefits to the City, City residents and visitors. If a proposal advances, formal discussions
<br />will take place with the potential for contract negotiations. Any modifications to City property are subject
<br />to the state prevailing wage rates. Example park properties include, but are not limited to:
