The Effingham County Board of Education is requesting pricing proposals for a comprehensive turn-key classroom furnishings project for the new Creekside Elementary School in Rincon, Georgia. This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks detailed pricing models for furnishings across multiple classroom wings and support spaces, including nine 750-square-foot classrooms per wing across the 400, 500, 600, and 700 level corridors, plus administrative spaces, commons areas, media suites, gymnasiums, music rooms, kitchen and dining facilities, and Pre-K classrooms. Bidders must provide complete furnishings solutions encompassing student desks and chairs, teacher desks and chairs, classroom cabinetry, shelving systems, utility fixtures, sinks, and other built-in furnishings as detailed in the by-room-needs list and summary needs list provided by the school district. The detailed architectural floor plans, color selection samples, and room-specific requirements have been included to guide bidding and ensure accurate pricing for all designated spaces throughout the 157,626-square-foot facility. The RFP establishes a due date of September 24, 2025, for proposal submission, with the top three bidders required to present their turn-key project proposals to the school district; critical delivery and storage restrictions apply and must be accommodated by the selected vendor. Bidders must verify compliance with all official contract documents, specifications, and architectural drawings, and samples of proposed furnishings may be requested from selected bidders at no cost to the district following the bid evaluation phase.

This procurement contains no identified set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, small businesses, or minority-owned vendors, and no incumbent contractor or existing vendor preferences are specified in the documentation. The RFP operates on an open competitive bidding basis with no restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to submit proposals, allowing any qualified vendor to compete for the furnishings contract. No specific budget range or contract award value has been disclosed in the publicly available RFP documentation, and interested bidders should reference the complete RFP and supporting attachments for comprehensive scope details, specifications, and pricing requirements. The selected contractor will be responsible for coordinating furnishings delivery and installation in alignment with the school's construction schedule and available storage capacity during the facility build-out phase. The school district has established specific architectural specifications and material standards for all furnishings, which are documented in the comprehensive floor plans and related construction documents prepared by James W. Buckley & Associates Architects and dated through June 2025, reflecting the current state of design development and construction administration.
