Magnuson Management RFP

Since the federal government conveyed the property to the City of Seattle between 1995 and 1999, Warren G. Magnuson Park has developed into a dynamic, complex ecosystem of recreation opportunities, public-private partnerships, and environmental stewardship activities. The park resides within the Sand Point Naval Air Station Landmarks Preservation District (established 2012) and neighbors five additional landowners within the Sand Point peninsula.

Since 1995, Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) has managed Magnuson Park, yielding many successes and learning moments during the park’s initial 25-year development. SPR is seeking a consultant who will review and assess a variety of management and/or governance models that could be utilized to support the next 25 years of development. This scope of work should include an assessment of SPR continuing with its current management structure and operational approach.

Through this study, SPR seeks to understand the pros and cons of proposed models in support of organizational learning, and continuous improvement of meeting the needs of this regional asset and its customers.

Please read the full RFP packet, and note the deadlines in the timetable for written questions and submissions.
