The Town of Edisto Beach is seeking submittals from qualified firms to provide consulting services for the Town of Edisto Beach Recreation Master Plan project. The Town of Edisto Beach has 3 parks, a bike path system, a tennis/pickle-ball court, an open tract of land and 38 beach accesses with over 200 related off-street parking spaces.  The Town has a variety of planning documents related to these parks and beach accesses, as listed in the bid document located under the Services tab on the Town website. 

The selected vendor will utilize existing Edisto Beach planning documents, solicit public input, collect field data, and apply industry standards to generate a cost effective and practical comprehensive recreation master plan (RMP).  The consultant will solicit public input by creating an online survey and holding a public workshop.  Additionally, the consultant will collect and analyze a variety of field data in order to update existing reports, produce applicable maps and diagrams, and establish the comprehensive RMP.

The objective of establishing an RMP is to update, prioritize and align the Town’s strategy for addressing park and recreational land planning and activity in the Town.  The RMP will be consistent with the Edisto Beach Local Comprehensive Beach Management Plan and the Edisto Beach Comprehensive Plan.
