Report
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Department (Parks) offers youth and adult sports leagues, tournaments, and recreational programs to the community. Some of the activities include basketball, soccer, softball, baseball, flag football, and volleyball. Establishing a rolling list of qualified sports officials will enable prospective officials to apply through an application process at any time during the year. After completing a process that ensures officials meet minimum requirements, officials will be added to a rolling list for use at Parks facilities. The rolling list may be amended by Parks at any time during the five-year term.
Procurement Information
Officials will complete an application through the Parks process. Applications will be evaluated and officials who meet all minimum requirements which include experience, background checks, and insurance will enter into a Recreation Sports Officiating Agreement with Parks.
With City Council's advanced authorization as provided in Phoenix City Code Section 43-2(B)(7), this rolling list of qualified officials is authorized to be excluded from the scope of Phoenix City Code Chapter 43.

These contracts may be entered into for a maximum term of five years, beginning on or about July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030. Officials added to the rolling list after July 1, 2025, must have a contract term that concludes no later than June 30, 2030.
