Glendoveer Golf Course, at 14015 N.E. Glisan St. in Portland, was acquired by Metro from Multnomah County in 1996 as part of a transfer of assets that included the Portland Expo Center, regional parks, pioneer cemeteries and Gleason and Chinook boat ramps.

Glendoveer is an important economic asset that allows Metro to operate the other transferred properties. The Glendoveer property contains 242 acres of land zoned for parks and open space. The site includes two 18-hole golf courses, two parking lots, four covered tennis courts, a restaurant, a driving range, a clubhouse (pro shop), and a public, soft-surface recreational trail.

Metro specifically manages and maintains the fitness trail, several wooded areas and the northeastern parking lot. The site is serviced by two domestic water wells on the property. More than 100,000 nine-hole rounds of golf are played annually at this public facility. The current operator, Glisan Street Recreation, has managed the facilities and property for over 40 years; the existing operation contract expires Dec. 31, 2012.

The purpose of this request for proposals is to obtain the following services to inform the facility assessment and business plan project: golf course market analysis; operation assessment and business plan recommendations; and conceptual design and cost estimate services. This information will help to guide the development and award of a new contract to operate the facility starting in 2013.

At the end of this project, Metro will incorporate these findings and recommendations, as well as other relevant information, to develop a clear, fiscally-sound operating contract and investment strategy for capital improvements for Glendoveer.
