24-1521 - Richmond Green park redevelopment

The City of Calgary is soliciting proposals for a Consultant to advance the existing (30%) preliminary design of Richmond Green Park Redevelopment through detailed design and construction.

In 2022, Council directed City Administration to market and sell a ~5.5 acre parcel of land at Richmond Green Park with the proceeds allocated for the expansion and redevelopment of the park. Richmond Green park will be a total of 48.5 acres, this is an 27.5 acre net increase of free public park space, which includes re-purposing and incorporation of the former golf course (+17.5 acres) and operations depot (+10 acres). This redevelopment is to be coordinated with the Canada Lands Corportation (CLC) obligations to upgrade the existing road through the park. Design development must also consider provisions for protection, security and access to the water reservoirs, and management of the salt-impacted soils at the former depot.

PHASE 1 Concept Design and PHASE 2: Preliminary Design were completed from 2021 to 2023; these phases included public engagement, evaluation and input from internal and external interested parties. The output from this work is the “Richmond Green Design Development Plan – Final Report” that is intended to guide work associated with the Richmond Green Park Redevelopment project (see Appendix F).

The Richmond Green Park Redevelopment project anticipates the following Phases:
PHASE 3: Design Development and Construction Documentation
PHASE 4: Construction Administration
PHASE 5: Post-Construction

Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement Letter, the award under this RFP will be for all Phases of the Requirements, subject to approval by The City after each Phase.

The City is in the process of procuring a Construction Manager to support this project.The Consultant will be responsible for working with and responding to feedback from the Construction Management Contractor throughout all stages of the project. (Phase 3, Phase 4 and Phase 5).
