23TDRPAR8184 - Consultant Services for Park Infrastructure Assessment - West County Provincial Recreation Areas & Ram Falls Provincial Park

The scope of this project encompasses Park Infrastructure condition assessment at Ram Falls Provincial Park and various West Country Provincial Recreation Areas (PRAs) listed below. This assessment is needed in order to review the Park’s and the PRAs’ ability to appropriately support camping, recreation, and conservation in the future. Much of the existing park facilities, amenities, and infrastructure at these sites is in poor condition and below current provincial standards. Public safety, erosion, circulation, signage, site grading, and campground amenities are some of the challenges faced at these locations. In response to these issues, Alberta Parks has initiated plans to upgrade various facilities and amenities.

The first step in this planning process (this project) is to complete a Park Infrastructure Assessment to evaluate the condition of all existing infrastructure and amenities at the locations identified below. Following the process outlined in this RFP, the successful Proponent will work with the Province to document current issues and site conditions as well as develop recommendations and options for the future. As a planning document, the Assessment will serve as a decision making tool for the Province to prioritize projects for future implementation.
