Request for Proposals (RFP) Inflatable Waterpark Deadline February 1

Request for Proposals (RFP) Inflatable Waterpark Deadline February 1

The Town of Osoyoos is seeking proposals from interested and qualified companies to enter into a commercial lease agreement for the seasonal installation and management of a modular inflatable waterpark.

The waterpark will be located on the west side of Osoyoos Lake within the limit of our municipal lake boundaries, with shore access through the northern grassed portion of Legion Beach. The waterpark would occupy a portion of the area currently contained with protective roped buoys as a public swimming area every summer.

Lease revenues will be payable to the Town for use of public parklands and, as the upland property owner, for adjoining lake waters. The Town is seeking a three-year lease agreement with an option to renew for three more years by agreement of both parties.

Community consultation will include an initial public open house and final Town lease approval will be subject to a public hearing for rezoning under our Foreshore and Lake Zoning Bylaw and Council bylaw adoption. The need for extensive public consultation together with Provincial approvals means that the earliest anticipated lease starting date will be the spring of 2018.

Proposals must be received at Planning and Development Services no later than 2:00 pm on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 in a sealed envelope clearly marked “Proposal for Inflatable Waterpark”.

For more information, please contact the undersigned.
