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.
