Town of Angier issued the following announcement on Jul. 16.
The Town of Angier is soliciting Qualification Statements from professional Landscape Architecture and Engineering firms to provide design services and prepare a master plan for a future town park. The park site, owned by the Town and currently used as a spray field, is 110 acres and located between NC 55 and Guy Road and north of the Black River. While the property does not currently have access from a public road, the intent is for the park to have access from Guy Road and an easement / shared drive will be negotiated with the adjacent landowner that will be developing that property. The scope of work will be to create a master plan for future development based on an analysis of site constraints and opportunities, community needs assessment and engagement as well as input of town staff.
The selected firm shall prepare a master plan that is responsive to the site, environmentally sensitive and sustainable and reflects community and town recreational needs. The plan shall include written and graphic analysis, recommendations, and cost estimates. It is anticipated that the park improvements will be designed to allow construction in multiple phases.
Site analysis shall include documentation of jurisdictional wetlands, river buffers, and a Phase 1 Environmental Analysis. The specific improvements will reflect town needs as well as the needs of the community as determined through community needs assessment and input.
Consultants should have experience with community engagement and the design of athletic fields, sport courts, playgrounds, trails and other recreational amenities. The project will also include the design of an entry drive, parking and the inclusion of restrooms and picnic shelters.
In addition, the Consultant team should also demonstrate expertise in construction cost estimating and knowledge of granting agencies and funding opportunities. The Town intends to submit for grants in the summer of 2022. The entire RFQ is posted on the Town of Angier’s website at www.angier.org. Please contact Gerald D. Vincent, Town Manager at gvincent@angier.org if there are any questions.
Please see attachedments listed below for more information.
In order to be considered for selection, consultants must submit a complete response to this request.
