WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is seeking a qualified consultant team to prepare the 2028-2034 Parks and Open Space Plan (POSP), a targeted update to the adopted 2022-2028 plan rather than a comprehensive rewrite. Kent is Washington's sixth-largest city and one of the nation's most ethnically diverse; its system comprises 58 parks and open spaces totaling more than 1,800 acres plus trails, athletic complexes, indoor facilities and natural areas. The final plan must be concise, usable by staff, compliant with Washington Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) planning requirements, and ready for City Council adoption by June 2028.
