Title
Scope of Services Review - CPW and Performing Arts Center Feasibility Studies
History
The Village is seeking proposals from qualified professional consulting firms to develop a Strategic Operating Plan for Centennial Park West (CPW), and to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for a potential performing arts center.
Community and stakeholder engagement will be key components the consultants must undertake, document and incorporate into both projects.
Centennial Park West Strategic Operating Plan
The CPW Strategic Operating Plan will establish clear, data-driven guidance regarding the appropriate scale, frequency, pricing, and revenue model for events at the venue. The intent of the Plan is to inform policy and operational decisions related to programming, staffing, sponsorships, ticketing, alcohol sales, concessions, neighborhood compatibility, and long-term financial sustainability, while preserving the venue's identity as a community-focused public asset.
Additionally, the Plan will evaluate the potential for expanded and year-round use at Centennial Park West. In line with this, the Village seeks guidance on whether selective capital enhancements such as permanent restrooms, concessions facilities, event support buildings, and/or conservatory-style structures on vacant land near existing parking areas could support broader year-round programming, event rentals, on-site concessions operations, revenue generation, and improved guest amenities, while remaining compatible with the surrounding residential context.
The attached scope of work fully outlines the scope of services including a final strategy and deliverables.
The CPW Strategic Operating plan was presented to the Recreation Programming Board on February 5, 2026. Input from the advisory board included a request to add comparable information to other venues. This was added as requested in phase l and Section IV deliverable.
