<br />Page 7 of 33 <br /> <br />SECTION 2 – SCOPE OF WORK <br /> <br />2.1 INTENT SUMMARY <br />This Request for Proposals (RFP) process provides an avenue for suggestions that could result in <br />partnerships that will increase recreation opportunities for the public, repurpose or recondition park <br />assets for community use, and generate revenue for the City of Everett Parks & Facilities department. <br />Depending on the complexity of the project, the expected contract start date for these RFPs would be <br />sometime in 2026 - 2027. <br />This Request for Proposal provides an opportunity for non-profits, businesses, or private individuals to <br />partner with the city to improve the community. The City intends to award multiple contracts from <br />proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. Although project ideas are listed below, Everett Parks <br />is open to all ideas for any Parks-owned property, including different or enhanced services where service <br />currently exists. Do not limit your imagination to only the projects listed below. These ideas are just a <br />small sampling of underutilized park assets owned by the City of Everett that could be great locations for <br />your business. <br />This is a recurring proposal opportunity, the sixth solicitation in as many years. To score well, projects <br />must enhance Park assets or increase recreational opportunities within the community. Proposals will <br />score higher if they also generate revenue for the department. <br />2.2 BACKGROUND <br />The City of Everett Parks & Facilities Department has forty-five (45) park properties, two (2) Municipal <br />Golf Courses, an Animal Shelter, a Senior Center, a Swim Center, facility rental halls, athletic sports <br />complexes at Kasch Park, Phil Johnson Park, Senator Henry M. Jackson Park, Garfield Park, and American <br />Legion Park. The Department also contracts for the management of the Legion Memorial and Walter Hall <br />Golf Courses, the Carl Gipson Center, and the Everett Performing Arts Center. The City of Everett’s <br />population and park systems have continued to grow, and now more than ever, it is important to create a <br />vision for the future of Parks and Recreation within our City. <br />During the previous General RFP processes, the City accepted the following projects and is moving <br />forward with negotiations on 10 of the 21 responses that were received. Some projects that are being <br />negotiated or have resulted in contracts from a previous Request for Proposal process include: <br />• Management of the Legion Memorial and Walter Hall golf course pro shop and food & beverage <br />operations. <br />• Concession Agreement for Phil Johnson ballfields. <br />• Use of the Camp Patterson site at Silver Lake for day camps. <br />• Adult softball leagues at Kasch Park. <br />• Paddleboard rentals at Silver Lake which are no longer active. <br />• Management of the Carl Gipson Center. <br />• Lease of the greenhouses at Legion Park, which are no longer active. <br />• Lease of the Kasch Athletic Offices.
