Hurricane Ian caused catastrophic damage to the Town of Fort Myers Beach, severely impacting its parks and recreation facilities, which serve as critical hubs for community engagement, economic activity, and environmental stewardship. In response, the Town has initiated the Parks and Recreation Revitalization Project to restore and enhance key public spaces, ensuring they are resilient, sustainable, and accessible for future generations. This project is supported by Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds, administered through Lee County, and aims to address post-disaster infrastructure needs while mitigating future flood risks and improving overall community resilience. The revitalization effort consists of the following project, Newton Park Beach Facility Reconstruction, constructing a resilient, environmental and education as well as passive recreation area, while providing for a community space that accents and provides an open-air classroom to replace the historic "Seven Seas" cottage lost to the storm surge. . Through this solicitation, the Town seeks an experienced, Landscape architecture and design firm to provide comprehensive professional services that align with FEMA flood mitigation guidelines, CDBG-DR program requirements, and sustainable development best practices. The project will not only restore these vital community assets but also integrate resilient infrastructure solutions to protect against future climate-related threats
