Proposals submitted after the specified time will not be accepted.

The Village of Schaumburg is seeking proposals from multidisciplinary teams to design the next portion (Stage 3) of the 90 North (90N) Park and overall cost analysis of the remaining stages of park construction. The overall design concept for the park was approved by the village in 2019. Stage 1 of the park was completed in 2024. Stage 2 of park construction will be completed in summer 2026. Design concepts for Stage 3 construction have been completed and were used to successfully obtain a $600,000 OSLAD Grant from the State of Illinois.

This request for proposals will cover those areas included in the approved concept plan for the south/central areas of the park. Design features will include walkways, adult games areas, site furnishings, tree plantings, irrigation, concessions stand, bathrooms, and a small stage area. The design team will need to forward the existing concept plans for these areas of the park through design development culminating in construction bid documents and specifications. The design team will need to have working knowledge of OSLAD Grant guidelines and reporting requirements.
