Open Space Committee approves RFP for OSRP update, sends to vetted consultants
Summary
The Merrimac Open Space Committee voted unanimously to send a drafted Open Space and Recreation Plan RFP to consultants Lucy Abisalih vetted (including Barrett, Inc. and Horsley Whitten) and agreed to a public outreach presence at Old Home Days.
The Merrimac Open Space Committee on April 24 voted to send a drafted request for proposals (RFP) for the town’s Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) update to consultants that had been vetted by committee staff.
Committee member Lucy Abisalih presented the drafted RFP and reported she had spoken with interested consultants, including Barrett, Inc. and Horsley Whitten. Committee member Sandy Venner moved, and Sue Simmons seconded, a motion directing Abisalih to send the RFP to the consultants she had vetted; the motion was supported by all members present.
The committee also agreed that staffing a booth at Old Home Days would provide an opportunity to engage the public about the OSRP update, and it planned to invite Neighbors for Nature and local Green Energy groups to participate at the booth. The minutes do not record any consultant selections or contract awards; the motion authorized only distribution of the RFP to solicit proposals.
Next procedural steps recorded: Abisalih to distribute the RFP to the vetted consultants and the committee will use public engagement opportunities to gather resident input prior to consultant selection.
