Bid #2559 - CBDG Young Patriot Park ADA Playscape

The City of Riverview, located in Wayne County, Michigan, is soliciting sealed bids (Bid #2559) for the Young Patriots Park ADA Playscape project, funded through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The procurement involves comprehensive playground renovation, including removing the existing playground and access path, and constructing a new ADA-compliant playscape and path. Key deliverables include surface preparation, grading, path construction, playground equipment installation (including swing sets), rubber tile placement, and landscape restoration. Bidders must submit three copies of their proposal with a 5% bid bond or certified check, and the project requires strict compliance with federal regulations such as the Davis-Bacon Act, Equal Employment Opportunity Act, and Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 24, 2025, at 10:00 A.M., with bid proposals due on July 31, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. The City will evaluate bids based on lowest responsible and responsive bidder criteria, with bids remaining firm for 90 days and the right to reject any or all submissions reserved.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though federal CDBG funding typically encourages minority and small business participation. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with ADA accessibility guidelines and federal labor standards. The successful bidder will be required to furnish Performance, Labor and Material, and Payment Bonds, each for 100% of the contract amount. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the project involves 12 distinct bid items with estimated quantities for each component. Contractors will be responsible for traffic control, soil erosion prevention, and maintaining site conditions throughout the project duration. The bid documents indicate this is a comprehensive infrastructure improvement project focusing on creating an inclusive, accessible playground environment for the community, with potential significant local economic impact for the selected contractor.
