City of Dunkirk(“City”) is issuing this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to solicit proposals from experienced individuals or firms to conduct an Indoor Waterpark Feasibility, Market Demand, and Economic Impact Study to provide a professional assessment to estimate the market feasibility of potential development of a destination attraction in Dunkirk at a site owned by City of Dunkirk on the shore of Lake Erie next to the city-owned marina that adjoins a hotel and brewery.
The estimate of feasibility will be used for decision-making purposes in determining
whether to proceed with an attraction developer such as an indoor waterpark on the City's waterfront; this is the primary area of focus for economic investment as stated in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan and Dunkirk Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) plan recently awarded.
