The City of Merced invites qualified landscape architecture or park & recreation planning consultants to submit a response (the "Proposal") to the Request for Proposals ("RFP") for managing, facilitating, and preparing the City of Merced’s Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan ("the Plan” or “the PROS Plan"). This Plan will provide an update to the City’s 2004 Parks and Open Space Master Plan as well as the City’s most recent General Plan and current growth patterns. The Plan will set the framework for decision-makers in the planning for maintenance, development, and/or rehabilitation of Merced’s parks, open space and recreation facilities and programs over a 10-year horizon. Importantly, the Plan will provide a system-wide approach for sustainable development, maintenance and operation of parks and recreation for both current and future development in order to meet community needs and interests.
