Title
Veterans Park Redesign RFP 17-007 - Award
History
A Request for Proposal for the redesign of Veterans Park was issued on February 2, 2017. The RFP closed on February 16, 2017 with ten (10) companies submitting proposals. Staff reviewed proposals and set up interviews with four (4) of the companies. The companies granted interviews were HR Green, Upland Design Ltd., Greenberg Farrow and RGC design. Companies were granted interviews based on several factors. Factors used to determine award were based on price point, history with Village, similar projects and reputation in the Parks community. Upon interview completion Staff recommends awarding the design and construction management to Upland Design Ltd. The Village is currently working with this firm on the Nature Center project. A neighborhood meeting is included in this process to provide residents within the area to share their thoughts on amenities they would like to see included in the project. Upland Design Ltd. presented very well and appears to be a great fit for the project.
On March 20, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.

Funds were budgeted for this expenditure and are available in Parks and Grounds Account 283-4003-461600.
Recommended Action/Motion
