Request for Qualifications
Sand Run Ford Removal & Area Master Plan
Summit Metro Parks (SMP) is requesting statements of qualifications to provide preliminary engineering and design services to prepare an area master plan in the Sand Run Metro Park that removes the existing Sand Run roadway ford and replaces it with a new bridge structure. Understanding that this will be a significant change to the stream and surrounding area, we want to take a broader look upstream and downstream of the ford to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad corridor and explore improvements that would enhance the ecology of the stream and function of the area.
Submissions must be received on or before noon (12 p.m. EST) on May 28, 2026.
