[MassHistPres] RFR - Heritage State Parks Repositioning

[Rowcroft, Jessica (DCR)]

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is resoliciting proposals for planning services to develop a repositioning strategy and action plan to transition three Heritage State Parks (HSP) to Gateway Discovery Centers (GDCs).  Work will consist of undertaking a comprehensive visitor identification and needs assessment, development of regional interpretive themes, analysis of current management structure, recommendations for new models of management, and the development of an action plan to implement the transition from HSPs to GDCs.



The consultant team should have a multidisciplinary composition and include a planning lead with significant participation from a variety of team members, including but not limited to, architects, civil and mechanical engineers, landscape architects, natural and cultural resource specialists, and audience / visitation researchers. An interpretive planner must be included on the project team.
