The SPOKANE TRIBE OF INDIANS is requesting proposals from responsive, responsible, and qualified firms to provide a Highest and Best Use Feasibility Study on the Spokane Tribe’s Two-Rivers Site that includes the Marina and RV Park.

The Tribe seeks to undertake a visioning and planning process to determine the highest and best use for the Two Rivers property. The term “Highest and Best Use” implies the best use for the benefit of the Spokane Tribe of Indians, Tribal citizens and their Families, as a priority, while creating a resort that reflects the environmental stewardship of our people. The visioning and Planning process will begin with an assessment of the current conditions and issues before moving on to Highest and Best Use and Master Planning. Environmental, cultural/historic, market, traffic and other assessments will be required to inform all recommendations and decisions. Tribal community input must occur throughout the study process.

The Tribe is interested in receiving comprehensive proposals from multi-disciplinary teams of hospitality and tourism planning professionals to provide best use and master plan products. One proposer or prime consultant must lead each team assuming multiple disciplines are investigated.

Project Area

The Project address is 6828 B. Hwy 25 South, Davenport, WA 99122. The Planning Study will address all tribally owned Parcels (as Shown on Exhibit A). Updated surveys will need to be part of this study. Transportation, environmental, utility infrastructure, and land use conditions (both current and planned) for the surrounding area will be important factors in determining appropriate development for the property. The property sits on the banks of the Columbia and Spokane Rivers. This proximity will have land use restrictions that will need to be identified.
