Summary
This Order will authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Berry Dunn for a feasibility study
for the Parks and Recreation Center and Sawyer Arena.
In 2021, the Council adopted a Parks and Recreation Facility Master Plan. Among the
recommendations in that plan was to conduct a feasibility study for the Parks and Recreation Center as
well as Sawyer Arena. Funding for this work was included in the FY23 budget. The City solicited RFP's
for feasibility studies for each facility and received proposals from five different consultants for both
studies. The RFP's allowed for the combining of the studies if deemed advantageous. City staff as well
as members of the Parks, Recreation, and Harbor Advisory Committee reviewed each proposal.
That review resulted in the submittals from Hunden Strategic partners and Berry Dunn as being the
most favorable and determined a combined study was in the best interest of the City. Hunden
Strategic Partners from Chicago submitted a combined study proposal of $125,000, and Berry Dunn
from Bangor submitted a follow up combined amount of $129,792.
Given the small difference in cost, and the logistical benefits of working with a local firm, staff is
recommending entering into a contract with Berry Dunn for the feasibility studies for both the Parks
and Recreation Center and Sawyer Arena.
