<br />citizens, joggers, walkers, boaters, bicyclists, sports lovers, gardeners, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts of
<br />all ages.
<br />2.3 POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY EXAMPLES
<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 />the development and operation of year around or seasonal full-service restaurants, gift shops, dance
<br />studios, martial arts, or other businesses interested in partnering with Parks to either rent, lease, or share
<br />revenue with the City and offer convenience and fun for residents utilizing the Parks. Proposals should
<br />follow the format listed in Section 4, which requests an outline of the general idea and location of what is
<br />being proposed, including the benefits to the city, City residents, and visitors. If a proposal advances,
<br />formal discussions will take place with the potential for contract negotiations. Any modifications to City
<br />property are subject to the state prevailing wage rates.
