About this opportunity

Beaufort County, South Carolina is seeking Architectural and Engineering (A&E) Services for the Bluffton Recreation Center Parking lot and Playing Fields Renovations project through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The comprehensive project involves extensive upgrades to an athletic facility, including renovating two baseball fields for 6U and 8U baseball, potentially installing artificial turf in the infield, and adding four small dugouts with bleachers and sunshades. Additional scope includes constructing batting cages, a water fountain, a 110'x60' multipurpose artificial turf field, a concrete wall for lacrosse practice, a 20' high protective net, lighting for volleyball and basketball courts, and new sand for the volleyball court. The RFQ will evaluate proposals based on five weighted criteria: experience (25 points), capability (25 points), budget control (20 points), design approach (15 points), and familiarity with local requirements (15 points). Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal virtual meeting on December 3, 2024, at 2:00 pm EST, with proposals due on December 20, 2024, at 3:00 pm EST. The county will select the most advantageous proposal and reserves the right to reject any or all submissions.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Funding for the project is subject to annual appropriation by the County Council, with the potential for contract termination without penalty if sufficient funds are not allocated. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project involves comprehensive site improvements including asphalt paving and striping of driveways and parking lots, with specific emphasis on drainage considerations across all fields and parking areas. The PowerPoint presentation suggests this is a significant investment in community recreational infrastructure, though specific budget ranges are not definitively stated in the provided documentation. Interested firms will need to demonstrate comprehensive A&E services capabilities, including permitting, design review, and construction administration, with a focus on creating enhanced athletic facilities for youth and community sports activities.

Opportunity text

Beaufort County is looking to upgrade one of its athletic facilities. Two baseball fields need to be updated to handle 6U and 8U baseball. The outfield is to stay grass but want to look at putting artificial turf in the infield if the budget allows. The fencing around the baseball fields needs to be adjusted and pushing back the backstop for room is an option. The baseball fields need four small dugouts and a set of bleachers on each side with sunshade. Near the baseball fields there needs to be a water fountain and two to three batting cages. The large field in the back needs to be a multipurpose artificial turf field (110'x60'). Both sides of the field need bleachers with sunshade. There needs to be a concrete wall installed near the multipurpose field for lacrosse practice and a 20' high net on the end of the field near the parking lot to protect cars from the lacrosse ball. The old football goal post needs to be removed from this field as well. The volleyball court and the basketball court need lighting. The volleyball court needs new sand as well. The County is also looking to put a small, covered pavilion with a couple of picnic tables on this site as well. Both driveways and both parking lots need to be asphalt and striped. Please be mindful of drainage at all the fields and the parking lots.
