BANDON CITY PARK MASTER PLAN

 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

AUGUST 2024     BANDON CITY PARK MASTER PLAN 

INTRODUCTION

The City of Bandon is now accepting proposals from qualified firms for the development of a City Park Master Plan. Bandon’s City Park is the gem of our community and has flourished since the City’s incorporation in 1891. Now, we are looking to develop a five-to-ten-year plan that sets realistic, attainable, and results-based action items for City staff to pursue to modernize this space. Consultants are invited to submit a proposal outlining their experience and qualifications in performing tasks as outlined in the attached Scope of Work. Written or electronic responses are acceptable and must be received by Thursday, August 22nd, at 5:00 PM. Late proposals will not be accepted. Please note: City Hall is closed on Fridays.

THE CITY

Bandon is located on the southern coast of Oregon, about two hours north of the California border and two hours east of Roseburg. A city of about 3,500 permanent residents, Bandon’s robust regional economy provides many local amenities, including Old Town Bandon, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Whiskey Run Bike Trails, majestic beaches and coastline, Circles in the Sand and the annual Cranberry and Gorse Blossom Festivals.

With the impacts of seasonal tourism, the “Zoom Town” phenomenon, and greater visibility due to growing local amenities, Bandon has seen unprecedented growth demand over the past few years. While this is a welcome change to our economy, we are seeing more strain on our local resources and are working to decisively maintain and improve our park system. The City Park Master Plan will help us accommodate future needs, while preserving the history, character, and nature of our beautiful City Park.
