Request for Proposals

Duke Park Redesign

Deadline of Submissions: May 15, 2026

The City of Troy, Ohio (the “City”) is seeking a Request for Proposal (RFP) from multi-

disciplined, professional planning/engineering/architectural design firms to submit a RFP for

Phase One of a redesign of Paul G. Duke Park (Duke Park) located at 1670 Troy-Sidney Road

(Miami County Parcel ID’s: D45-250037, R50-005520, & R50-005510). The chosen

consultant will move into Phase Two of this project pending the recommendations of Phase

One. Scope and fee for Phase Two will be finalized at the conclusion of Phase One. Phase One

redesign addresses current and long-term capacity needs that improve vehicular and

pedestrian circulation and amenities. The goal is to establish Duke Park as a single,

centralized home for sports programming. The goals and objectives as directed by City Council

are to examine the redevelopment and/or the potential expansion of Duke Park as discussed

in the 2026 Parks and Recreation Master Plan (PRMP). See page 144 of the PRMP for the

estimated budget range (see reference link on page four (4) of this document).

The City owns and operates Duke Park, a major municipal park located along Troy-Sidney

Road in the northern portion of the city. Serving as the City’s primary athletic complex, it is

one of the most heavily used recreation facilities within the park system. The park

encompasses approximately 210 acres, including Robinson Reserve to the north, and offers

a mix of active recreational facilities and natural open space.

Named in honor of Paul G. Duke, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist, the park reflects his

contributions to the community, particularly in supporting the development of parks and

natural areas in Troy. Over time, Duke Park has expanded to include both athletic facilities

and natural resource areas. Adjacent spaces, such as Robinson Reserve, provide

opportunities for passive recreation while also connecting visitors to nearby river corridors and

conservation lands. Duke Park has evolved into a regional destination for sports leagues,

tournaments, and community events. The park currently includes multiple soccer fields,

baseball diamonds, pickleball courts, playgrounds, shelter houses, walking paths, and other

recreational amenities that support both organized and informal recreation activities. The

Park Department Operations are in Duke Park at a new facility. Park amenities include:

Assessment of Progress and Conditions of Troy Parks from 1990 to Present and Analysis of

2018 Parks Master Plan Public Involvement Survey (2018). The document was created with

the purpose to facilitate the future development process of a new master plan for the City of

Troy parks system. It presents information about national and state trends, outdoor

participation patterns, a progress report on the Troy parks system from 1990 to present, an

assessment of the conditions of the parks, and an analysis of the City of Troy Parks Master

Plan Public Involvement Survey (2018 Survey). Assessment of Progress and Conditions of Troy

SCOPE OF WORK:

Phase One Schematic / Preliminary Design and Cost Estimation – Prepare schematic and

preliminary design documents. This includes the evaluation of alternatives necessary to meet

budget, site constraints, and potential grant requirements. Prepare preliminary opinions of

probable construction cost. All proposed improvements shall comply with applicable ADA

accessibility requirements.

1) Conduct monthly check-in/progress meetings with the Project Team

(combination of virtual and in-person). Additional meetings may be needed

at strategic stages during the project.

2) The improvement shall primarily evaluate the use of the existing Duke Park

and adjacent properties owned by the City of Troy. Consideration shall be

given to the adjacent sixty-seven (67) acre parcel ID: K30-040000 (owned

by Miami County) if needed for any proposed park improvements. The City

of Troy does not own the sixty-seven (67) acre parcel.

3) The Preliminary Design and Cost Estimation shall include the following:

a) Conduct a conditions assessment of existing baseball/softball

fields and accessory equipment/structures and make

recommendations on suggested improvements. Additionally, add

five to seven new baseball/softball diamonds and accessory

support structures (concessions, restrooms, scorekeepers, etc.) A

potential “miracle field” that is ADA compliant may be included or

in addition to this.

b) Conduct a conditions assessment of existing rectangular fields and

accessory equipment/structures and make recommendations on

suggested improvements. Additionally, add four (4) to six (6) new

full-sized rectangular fields for soccer and football.

c) Conduct a comprehensive traffic impact study and integrated

parking and pedestrian circulation analysis in accordance with

applicable industry standards (e.g., ITE methodologies and local

jurisdictional requirements). The parking analysis shall quantify

projected parking demand by sporting season, accounting for peak

event conditions, temporal variations, and multimodal access

patterns.

d) Based on the findings of the traffic and circulation analyses,

develop and implement optimized site access and circulation

improvements, including reconfiguration and/or expansion of

roadway access points, internal vehicular circulation, pedestrian

pathways, and parking facilities. This scope shall also include

identification and design of necessary off-site improvements to

Riverside Drive, including but not limited to ingress and egress

modifications serving Duke Park, to ensure safe, efficient, and

code-compliant operations.

e) Conduct a conditions assessment of the current restroom facilities

and provide recommendations for the location of new restrooms,

concessions, and storage facilities. These recommendations shall

include at a minimum:

1. One restroom facility near the rectangular fields to the south.

2. One restroom facility near the rectangular fields to the north.
