SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

Morrow County is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking to hire a highly

qualified consulting firm to provide professional services to develop a Comprehensive

Parks Master Plan for the Morrow County Parks system.

The Master Plan should establish a long-range roadmap for park development,

recreation opportunities, tourism and economic development, campground

modernization, OHV recreation planning, trails and connectivity, operational

sustainability, and natural resource stewardship throughout the County park system.

The updated Parks Master Plan will serve as a guiding document for future

development, maintenance, operations, capital improvements, recreation investments,

and long-range sustainability over the next twenty years.

This project is funded in part through the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department

(OPRD) County Opportunity Grant Program. Consultants should demonstrate familiarity

with Oregon public planning processes, grant-supported recreation planning, and

applicable state planning and recreation requirements.

areas including:

The County desires a system-wide planning approach to identify current and future

recreation needs, establish goals and priorities, evaluate infrastructure conditions, and
