GF Park Board reviewing RFP’s on sports / aquatics complex

Five consulting firms have responded to the Park District’s RFP to study a proposed indoor sports and indoor aquatics facility in Grand Forks.

A selection committee of the Park District started going over the various proposals this week.  The price-tag ranges from $56,000 to $147,000 dollars.

As written in the RFP requests information on a 300,000 square foot facility with turf large enough for soccer…football…and lacrosse competitions.  It could also include a possible running track with basketball/volleyball courts.

On the aquatics side the potential facility would include an eight lane – 50 meter – swimming and diving pool as well as a 25 meter lap pool.  Location and construction could also be part of the analysis.

The committee will further discuss the proposals at a meeting next week.  The goal is to interview and recommend a consulting firm in March.  That selection would be forwarded to the Park Board in April.
