RFQ 2021-15 Mid Island Initiative Area Planning and Park Design Services includes land planning services for the Mid Island Initiative Area and design services for a new community park at the Mid Island Tract. The goal of this project will be to produce a Redevelopment Strategy for the Mid Island Initiative Area in tandem with designing and developing the Mid Island Tract. The Town received submittals from:
- Design Workshop, Inc.
- MKSK
- EDSA, Inc.

Timeline
Evaluation of the submittals and selection of a consultant team is scheduled to occur in the coming weeks. Staff will prioritize selection of the team for the Mid Island Initiative Area project, followed by selecting the team for the other two parks.
Completion of the design process through to construction documentation for the Mid Island Tract is proposed to conclude by June 30, 2022. The process for all three park sites will entail kick-off meetings or workshops with staff and Town Officials, community engagement events and meetings, and reviews of park concepts through design documents with all stakeholders.
Staff looks forward to selecting the design teams for this exciting step in Part 3 of our Parks and Recreation Master Plan! Stay tuned to this newsletter for announcements about the contract awards and how you can stay involved.
