The scope of work covers every phase of the project, including project management planning, site master planning, conceptual and detailed design development, engineering, and construction administration.

The selected firm will be responsible for developing a master plan to guide both the current project and future phases, encompassing both indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities.

Their duties also encompass preparing preliminary concepts, detailed designs and cost estimates, construction documentation, bidding support, contractor coordination, and on-site construction observation. The resulting reference materials and project management documentation will support efficient administration and serve as resources for city staff, steering committee, and project partners throughout the entire lifespan of the project.
