Summary:
This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation by the District of Summerland (the “District”) to prospective Proponents to submit non-binding Proposals for the provision of the development of a Master Plan for the Summerland Rodeo Grounds as further described in Section 2 - Deliverables.
The Summerland Rodeo Grounds, located at 18707 Bathville Road in Summerland, is 73.76 acres of parkland. It is a rustic special-purpose park facility with two riding rings, grandstands, animals stalls, clubhouse (capacity for 100 people), seasonal concession cook shack, seasonal washroom building with showers, and large open spaces. The facility is used for equine activities, clinics and events, rustic weddings, family reunions, special events (Bluegrass Festival) and staging areas for sporting events (running, biking, long boarding, etc.). The site has caretakers who reside on the property.
The 2018 District of Summerland Parks & Recreation Master Plan recommended that the District: “Undertake a master plan for the Rodeo Grounds, exploring community needs and possible uses for the site, servicing requirements and costs and possible operating arrangements.” A plan for the Rodeo Grounds was last completed in June 2008 (see RFP Appendix F – Rodeo Grounds Report).
The overall expected outcomes of the Summerland Rodeo Grounds Master Plan (the “Plan”) are to:
-
- Provide a long-term vision for this property.
- Provide staff with direction on property operations and management.
- Provide recommendations for operational requirements and capital investments including costing over the next 15 years.
