RFP-POSTPlan08 - Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan

Summary of Specifications:
The City of Durango invites all interested, qualified persons or firms, capable of providing the required services, to submit proposals for the update of the City of Durango Parks, Open Space and Trails Master Plan; and to develop a recreational facilities element to be include in the Plan update. The existing plan was adopted by Durango City Council in 2001 as an element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Since its adoption, the City has experienced significant growth, and many of the plan recommendations have either been implemented or are no longer valid. 

The consultant proposal shall include all necessary services to develop a comprehensive and contemporary Parks, Open Space, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan that will be used to justify and guide future decisions relative to meeting the current and future demands within the City’s service area, estimated at approximately 25,000 residents. The attached map shows the comprehensive plan area as adopted by the Durango City Council in 2007. This includes land within the Durango City limits—6,255 acres, and land within the larger planning area—25,555 acres.
