2026-27 Playground Equipment Replacement, Valencia Summit Park

The City of Santa Clarita is requesting proposals for design services on the 2026-27 Playground Equipment Replacement project at Valencia Summit Park, with proposals due October 6, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. PT. The estimated contract value is $50,000.

The scope encompasses civil engineering, landscape architecture, and construction document preparation for playground equipment replacement within the existing 7-acre park. The new facility will include distinct play areas for ages 2–5, ages 5–12, and an adjacent adult fitness cluster, replacing aging equipment installed in the late 1990s. The selected consultant must deliver two complete sets of plans and specifications in both paper and electronic format; all documents become the City's property for unrestricted future use.

Consultant qualifications and experience on similar projects are the primary evaluation drivers. Proposals are scored on a 100-point scale: consultant qualifications and program management (25 points), experience on similar projects (30 points), thoroughness of proposal and approach (25 points), and cost (20 points). The contract term extends from issuance through completion of design and construction documents, with an optional Task 5 for construction support services that may be awarded separately.

Required insurance includes commercial general liability of $1 million/$2 million aggregate, professional liability coverage of $1 million, and business automobile liability of $1 million. No prevailing wage or bond requirements apply. Proposals must be submitted electronically through BidNet and remain valid for 180 days after closing.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 16, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. PT via Zoom. Questions are due September 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. PT. The City reserves the right to waive irregularities, reject all proposals, negotiate with qualified consultants, or award portions of work independently.
