RFP 24-004 Civil Engineering Services New Langdon Recreation Centre Final - RFP 24-004 Civil Engineering Services New Langdon Recreation Centre Final

Rocky View County undertook a comprehensive Feasibility and Business Case Study to explore prospects for a recreation center in Langdon. The study's primary objective was to discern detailed options to guide the development of a functional program and design for the Langdon Recreation Centre.
Envisioned as a community 'hub,' the facility is poised to enhance the Langdon community's quality of life, character, and resilience. The preliminary vision for the Langdon Recreation Centre portrays it as a dynamic, active space where residents can access diverse services, engage in various activities, and partake in opportunities that foster a strong community for Langdon and its surrounding area.
In March of 2021, the County acquired HarGroup Management Consultants to assist in completing the needs assessment for the Langdon Recreation Centre Building Project. A copy of the preliminary plan is included in Appendix F of this RFP. The County will be open to suggestions and recommendations from the successful Architect that will optimize the use of space to facilitate a high-functioning Recreation Facility.
In November of 2023, the Council approved to proceed with Phase 1 preliminary design and construction cost estimate for an estimated 65,640 square foot Recreation Centre facility on a 45-acre Joint-use site. The phase 1 completion date, or substantial completion, is scheduled for the fall of 2024. Key components of the Langdon Recreation Centre include a fieldhouse, hall, library, multipurpose rooms, studios, seniors’ activity space, indoor track, lease space, office, and board room. Consideration will also be required for assessing and confirming the building’s information technology, safety, security, accessibility, and telecommunications needs. Water and wastewater lines connected to existing service stubs are within proximity of the proposed project site. (Attached to this document is a location map that shows the proposed site location within the Hamlet of Langdon).
The County, wherever feasible, seeks out innovative design philosophies and supports low-impact sustainable designs that bring value over the life cycle of the facility. Although this building will not be LEED certified, we intend to demonstrate environmental stewardship within county-developed lands while providing value to our constituents.
