Behind-the-Scenes Work on New Playgound

Greeley’s Parks Planning team has been busy behind the scenes selecting a design team, so you won’t see progress - yet! We want to provide an update on the work this entails. You can see from the project lifecycle that this phase is “Design Team Selection." Using the feedback from residents via the digital survey, the team packaged it with the project budget and scope of work and sent it to playground design companies. This package is called a Request for Proposals, or RFP. It's basically the city's way of saying, "here's what our community needs and what we have to spend; show us your ideas." Design companies then respond with their ideas, experience, and approximate costs, etc. The Parks team then reviews each submission to find the design company whose plan best matches those requirements.

Stay tuned for our next update, which will be the selected design team and a glimpse at their playground design for Peak View!
