Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
The municipality seeks a qualified vendor to provide consulting strategy services to support the creation of a 25-year growth plan focused on future parks acquisition and sustainable funding. The selected consultant will conduct comprehensive research, GIS analysis, technical report writing, and financial planning to develop methodologies for assessing and identifying areas suitable for new parks.
Key deliverables include developing tools to evaluate and target properties for acquisition, estimating current and forecasted property values, and formulating an innovative, legally compliant funding strategy for property purchases. The evaluation process should consider population density, equity of access, ecological and cultural significance, accessibility, and liveability factors such as walkability and community identity. Consultants must also assess properties for renewal opportunities, strategic placement near high-demand areas, and provide recommendations for alternative funding tools.
The strategy should align with municipal legal requirements and emphasize the preservation or restoration of natural systems, while addressing both current and projected community needs.
