Bloomington recreation and park district - ayala park swings project

The Bloomington Recreation and Park District is seeking a contractor to complete the Ayala Park Swings Project located at 17909 Marygold Avenue in Bloomington, California. The project requires a comprehensive renovation of the park's playground area, including removal of existing landscaping, installation of a new rubber playground surface, swing structures, shade sails, and various landscape repairs. Qualified bidders must be California Class B General Building Contractors with demonstrated experience in similar park improvement projects, and must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for December 17, 2025, at 11:00 AM PST at the project site. Bids are due on January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST, with a contract completion period of 90 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed. The procurement will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with liquidated damages set at $1,000 per calendar day for failure to complete work within the specified timeframe. Contractors must provide a 10 percent bid security and be prepared to furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract sum.

The project does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does require strict compliance with California prevailing wage requirements and Department of Industrial Relations registration for both prime and subcontractors. The total project scope includes installing approximately 2,000 square feet of poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing, four swings, shade sail canopies, a bench, and a trash receptacle, with the potential for two additive bid items covering shade sail canopies and a perimeter fencing option. While a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive park infrastructure improvements with multiple technical specifications for materials and installation. Contractors must comply with California Air Resources Board regulations and provide evidence of similar project experience completed within the last five years. The project allows for base bid submission plus two potential additive bids, suggesting flexibility in final project configuration and potential budget range.
