The Willard Park Board announced that a new park director, Edward Sands, will begin on May 25, 2026, filling a position that had been vacant for some time. During the vacancy, the City Administrator noted that salary savings were offsetting overages in seasonal staff costs, and staff have been managing programs and facilities operations. A new director typically reassesses programming, staffing, maintenance, capital needs, and vendor relationships across parks, recreation, aquatics, and events. This leadership change is a strong trigger for vendors offering park planning, asset management, recreation software, program design, facility maintenance, or revenue optimization services to introduce solutions as the new director shapes priorities and budgets.
City leadership explicitly referenced budget impacts from not having a park director, indicating the...

The Blackie’s Pasture Beach Restoration project will restore the shoreline at Greenwood/Blackie’s Pasture Beach to reduce erosion. According to the CIP, County of Marin staff have fully designed the project, construction is fully grant funded through a 1.5 million State Coastal Conservancy grant, and permitting is underway with construction anticipated to start in summer 2026. Because design is complete and funding is secured, this is moving toward construction procurement. Marine and shoreline contractors, environmental construction managers, and monitoring firms can track this project for a near‑term bid opportunity and related services such as construction oversight, environmental compliance, and periodic beach renourishment support estimated at up to 10,000 per year.
Design was performed by County of Marin staff; Town anticipates periodic renourishment costs after c...
Under Capital Improvement Projects, Tiburon budgets $1,500,000 in FY 2026-27 for the Blackie’s Pasture / Greenwood Beach Restoration project (25-PK-01-810), fully funded by a State Coastal Conservancy grant. The project scope is summarized as "Restoration," indicating shoreline, habitat, parkland, or erosion control improvements along this waterfront area. No design or construction firm is mentioned; the budget only shows that grant funds are secured and programmed. This creates a high‑value pre‑RFP opportunity for coastal engineers, landscape architects, environmental consultants, and construction contractors experienced in shoreline restoration and public access facilities. Vendors should aim to speak with Public Works and Parks staff about anticipated permitting, community engagement, and phasing needs and position for design, CEQA/environmental, and construction support as the project moves from funding to implementation.
Fully grant-funded from State Coastal Conservancy (Fund 285); will likely require significant enviro...
Tiburon’s FY2026‑27 CIP programs $1,500,000 for construction of the Blackie’s Pasture / Greenwood Beach shoreline restoration, fully funded by a State Coastal Conservancy grant. The project will restore the eroding shoreline, with design completed by Marin County staff and construction anticipated to begin in summer 2026 once permitting is finalized. The document indicates design is complete and permitting is underway, implying a construction contract will be or has recently been awarded under the grant. Coastal, habitat restoration, and marine contractors may still find opportunities for specialty services, monitoring, periodic renourishment (estimated up to $10k per year), and adjacent shoreline resilience work informed by this major project.
Future periodic beach renourishment is anticipated at up to 10000 per year, though frequency and det...
