RFP 24-081 - Consultant Services for Mackin Park Concession Renewal

The purpose of this RFP is to select professional, qualified and experienced firms to provide Consultant Services for Mackin Park Concession Renewal.

Mackin Park, located at 1046 Brunette Avenue, is a destination community-level park approximately 18 acres in size. Located in the Maillardville neighbourhood, the site has a rich history closely interrelated with the Fraser Mills French Canadian mill workers, hosting the Festival du Bois and athletics especially at the Mackin Yard ball diamond. Infrastructure at Mackin Yard is mostly original construction with minor adjustments over time. The existing concession was likely constructed around the 1970s and has since exceeded its serviceable asset life. The City is planning for the expansion of the existing washroom building to include a new concession for Mackin Yard. The Consultant team shall be prepared to coordinate with a separate project team, the City’s park architect, for the ball diamond renewal for site coordination during detailed design and construction. The City’s park architect will provide landscape drawings to support the building program, including related pathways and exterior grounds, site adjustments, and planting program (if any). These landscape features are expected to be minor as the overall budget is limited.
