Consulting support built for public-sector recreation needs

RCGS was formed to help agencies and vendors navigate recreation and critical goods projects with clearer requirements, stronger procurement packages, and fewer surprises—from early planning through award-ready documentation.

Today we partner with municipal leaders, parks departments, and procurement teams to scope work, align stakeholders, assess risk, and select solutions that hold up under public scrutiny and real-world operations.

SERVICE FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a typical engagement look like?

We start with a short discovery call to understand your goals, constraints, stakeholders, and timeline. Then we provide a clear scope, deliverables, and schedule—often progressing from assessment and recommendations to procurement support and implementation planning.

How is pricing structured for public-sector work?

Pricing is based on a defined scope and deliverables. We can work as a fixed-fee project, an on-call retainer, or time-and-materials when requirements are still evolving. You’ll receive a transparent estimate and assumptions before any work begins.

Can you support procurement, RFPs, and vendor evaluation?

Yes. We help define requirements, write or review RFP language, set evaluation criteria, and document scoring to support defensible decisions. We can also support pre-bid Q&A, addenda, and vendor interviews while keeping the process clear and auditable.

Do you work with small municipalities and lean teams?

Absolutely. We right-size the approach to your capacity—providing templates, facilitation, and straightforward recommendations your team can execute. Whether you have one project lead or a full department, we aim to reduce workload, not add to it.

What do you need from us to get started?

A point of contact, any existing plans or standards you rely on, and a brief overview of your objectives and constraints. If you have past RFPs, asset inventories, risk registers, or budget guidance, those help—but we can begin with what you have.

How quickly can you start, and what’s your typical timeline?

Start times depend on current workload, but many projects can begin within 2–4 weeks. After discovery, we’ll propose a practical timeline with milestones and review points, and we’ll be candid about what’s realistic if you’re facing a deadline.
