Background Information:
The City of San Marcos acquired this 176.5 acre property that was once the Quail Creek Golf Course and Country Club in October of 2022. It was purchased in partnership with Hays County Parks and Open Space Bond funds, ARPA and Parkland fee-in-lieu funds for $8.5 million.
The purpose of the services is to provide professional consulting services consisting of landscape architecture, civil engineering, hydrology/hydraulics, and other services necessary for the development of the San Marcos Quail Creek Preliminary Design Report.
The consultant will assist Parks and Recreation staff with the community engagement and presentations. The community engagement (community survey, open house meetings, Board and City Council meetings/presentations) will be conducted in conjunction with the Riverfront Parks project.
This Preliminary Design Report will provide the City Council and Community a guide for future development of an eastside regional park.
