This document is a request for bids from the City of Springfield to install new playground equipment at five elementary schools within the city limits. The City is seeking bids for supplying and installing equipment, safety surfacing, and related site work at each of the five locations. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid conference on June 15th and submit proposals by July 1st. The City anticipates awarding a single contract with a base term of 3 years, and the option to renew for two additional 1-year terms. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The solicitation requires bidders to provide unit pricing for various playground equipment, safety surfacing, and site preparation items. A 10% local business set-aside applies, and the City has budgeted $1.5 million for this project from the Parks and Recreation Department's capital improvement funds. The current playground equipment at the five sites is over 15 years old and in need of replacement.
