In 2020, the Fairfax County Sports Tourism
Task Force issued a report that highlighted the need for athletic field
and court complexes that can better facilitate tournament play in order to help
the county better compete in the sports tourism marketplace. The report
proposed a set of recommended actions related to the development of sports
tourism complexes in Fairfax County.
In response to the task force recommendations,
the Park Authority advertised a Request for Interest (RFI) to identify
expressions of interest in the development of multi-sports tournament complexes
at potential FCPA sites. The Park Authority received four submissions in
response. After an evaluation of the proposals received, it has been determined
that none of the submissions are viable options to move forward as proposed.
While there is no official Request for
Interest posted at this time, interested parties may submit unsolicited
proposals through the Public-Private Educational Facilities and Infrastructures
Act (PPEA) process. Guidelines outlining the PPEA process and the submission of
unsolicited proposals are available online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/procurement/ppea.
