Project Overview
Sarasota County pursued the design and construction of a new $12.3 million administration facility for its Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Department at Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota, Florida. The project represented a meaningful investment in the county's parks infrastructure, providing a purpose-built headquarters for the department responsible for managing Sarasota's extensive network of parks, recreation programs, and natural resource assets. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop a proposal, architectural renderings, and animations to support the competitive pursuit.
Client Challenges
Competing for a county government facility on a park site required the client to demonstrate both public-sector construction experience and a genuine sensitivity to the setting:
Making the case for a design-build or construction approach that would produce a facility fitting within the natural character of Twin Lakes Park, where the building's relationship to its surroundings mattered as much as its function.
Visualizing a facility that did not yet exist, giving Sarasota County a credible picture of what the completed administration building would look like in context before any design was finalized.
Presenting qualifications in a way that felt relevant to a public-sector parks owner with specific expectations around budget accountability, community fit, and longterm stewardship of county assets.
Producing a proposal document competitive enough to stand out in a public procurement where evaluators would scrutinize both the content and the professionalism of every submission.
The pursuit called for materials that could earn a public owner's trust as much as demonstrate a contractor's credentials.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX developed a full proposal and visual package for the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Administration Facility pursuit. The team wrote and designed a proposal that positioned the client's qualifications in direct relation to Sarasota County's goals for a parks department headquarters, emphasizing experience with public facilities, site sensitivity, and budget discipline. High-fidelity architectural renderings brought the proposed facility to life within its Twin Lakes Park setting, giving evaluators a compelling visual anchor for the submission. Animated sequences reinforced the design vision and helped the county understand what it was investing in before a shovel hit the ground.
PRESWERX Approach
PRESWERX built the proposal and visuals around the county's underlying priority: a facility that would serve its parks department well for decades while fitting responsibly into one of Sarasota's recreational green spaces.
Framed the proposal narrative around the client's track record with public-sector facilities, emphasizing transparency, community accountability, and experience delivering within government procurement constraints.
Produced renderings that grounded the facility within the Twin Lakes Park landscape, making the building feel like a natural addition to the site rather than an imposition on it.
Designed animations to walk evaluators through the facility's key program areas and site relationship, giving the county confidence in both the design intent and the team behind it.
The result was a submission that looked and read like it came from a team that understood what Sarasota County was actually trying to build.
Results Delivered
PRESWERX delivered a complete proposal and visual package suited to the standards of a competitive public-sector facilities pursuit.
A well-structured proposal document made the client's qualifications immediately legible to evaluators, with content organized around the county's stated priorities rather than a generic capability summary.
Architectural renderings gave Sarasota County a vivid, site-specific image of the completed facility, grounding the submission in a visual that evaluators could reference throughout the review process.
Animated sequences brought additional depth to the visual case, helping the county understand the facility's layout, character, and fit within the Twin Lakes Park environment.
The client submitted a proposal package that reflected the quality and care Sarasota County expected from any firm competing to build on its park grounds.
