Allyn Brook Park and Francis E. Korn School Playground Area Rebuild (round 2)

The Town of Durham, Connecticut, located in Middlesex County, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design, replacement, and installation of age-appropriate playground equipment at two specific locations: Allyn Brook Park and Francis E. Korn School Playground. Although these are two separate playground areas in close proximity, the project will be treated as a single job. The primary objective is to replace existing playground equipment with new, age-appropriate structures that fully comply with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission Public Playground Safety Handbook and all applicable public playground regulations. Vendors are required to submit comprehensive proposals that detail their approach to designing and installing playground equipment that meets safety standards and is suitable for children. The solicitation period runs from October 27, 2023, at 6:00 PM EDT to November 8, 2023, at 10:00 AM EST, with John Board from the Town of Durham serving as the primary contact for any questions or communications regarding the project.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. All vendors are eligible to submit proposals, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total value for the project, nor does it outline a specific budget range. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor. No line items are specified in the solicitation, and there are no indications of existing infrastructure or technology that would require integration. The project contact, John Board, can be reached at executiveassistant@townofdurhamct.org or 860-349-3625 x2001 for any additional information or clarifications about the RFP.
