CITY OF FAIRVIEW
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS HISTORIC VILLAGE PARK
April 22, 2024
1. BACKGROUND
The City of Fairview is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from qualified firms interested in providing professional design services related to the design of recreational facilities at the Historic Village Park. Suggested uses include an amphitheater, farmers market, restroom facility, parking with ADA accommodations and walking trails. Firms with relevant design experience and qualifications are encouraged to submit. The purpose of the Request for Qualifications process is to identify the most qualified firm through a qualification-based selection process. The firm selected by the City of Fairview will provide full architectural/engineering and related services for the design of these proposed amenities within the existing park.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Fairview is a growing community with a current population of approximately 10,000 residents, several approved residential developments with single and multi-family occupancies, as well as several commercial occupancies under consruction. With this growth, the City has a desire to enhance its parks and recreation facilities. In 2023, the City of Fairview facilitated the development of a Parks and Recreation Master Plan—a proactive task for the City and its citizens to develop a plan of guidance for the parks and recreation department. This short and long-term initiative was designed to compliment other planning initiatives in the City. The City has developed a core group of stakeholders, both city and county government leaders and advocacy groups to strengthen the local parks department. The Parks Master Plan process identified key locations and facilities to develop as new parks. One potential new park development would be the Historic Village Park located at the west entry into Fairview, across the street from the Fairview Recreation Center. Suggested concepts for the park include an amphitheater, farmers market, restroom facility and additional parking.
