2025 Dobbs Creek Storage Building

The City of Cumming, Georgia is seeking qualified contractors to design and construct a 2,160 square foot metal storage building at the Dobbs Creek Recreation Center located at 1115 Dahlonega Hwy. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires contractors to build a 60x36 foot storage facility with specific architectural and functional specifications, including a 36-foot dividing wall, multiple garage doors, electrical outlets, LED lighting, a staff restroom, sinks, floor drains, and fire alarm integration. Contractors must submit both technical and cost proposals, with a required Proposal Guaranty of 10% of the total proposal amount. The procurement timeline includes a pre-proposal conference scheduled for 08/13/2025 at 10:00 AM at Cumming City Hall, with all questions to be submitted to Phil Higgins via email no later than 08/20/2025 at 4:00 PM. Proposals are due by 08/27/2025 and must be submitted in duplicate to the third-floor receptionist desk at Cumming City Hall. The awarded contractor will be contacted after 09/02/2025 and will be required to obtain necessary permits through the City of Cumming Planning and Zoning Department while complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a Performance Bond and Payment Bond as part of the contract requirements. The project involves integrating the new storage building with the existing infrastructure at Court 3 of the Dobbs Creek Recreation Center. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the City of Cumming reserves the right to split or award the contract in its entirety based on their evaluation of the proposals. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed in the documentation, the requirement for a 10% Proposal Guaranty suggests the project has a substantial financial scope. Contractors will be evaluated on their technical capabilities, proposed design, cost effectiveness, and ability to meet the detailed specifications outlined in the RFP. The project represents a significant infrastructure enhancement for the City of Cumming's recreational facilities.
