Central Park Playground Surface Replacement

Forsyth County, Georgia is issuing an Invitation to Bid (No. 26-47-5211) for the Central Park Playground Surface Replacement project, seeking qualified vendors to provide all materials, equipment, and labor for removal and replacement of the playground safety surface at Central Park, located at 2300 Keith Bridge Road, Cumming, Georgia. Bidders must submit sealed bids by 2:00 P.M. EST on Thursday, May 14, 2026, with public bid opening at 2:30 P.M. EST at the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners facility. The solicitation offers two bidding options: a Base Bid for Pour-In-Place (PIP) safety surface installation and Alternate #1 for Bonded Rubber Mulch safety surface installation, with bidders required to provide pricing for both options or clearly mark options as "No Bid." All work must comply with ASTM standards (F1292, F1951, F2479), CPSC Public Playground Safety Handbook requirements, and ADA accessibility standards, and contractors must provide a one-year warranty covering workmanship, labor, materials, material integrity, adhesion and bonding, safety compliance, and UV and weather resistance from the date of final project acceptance. Bidders must submit a Project Experience Form demonstrating qualifications on similar projects, identify all proposed subcontractors with their qualifications, and provide a complete List of Subcontractors. Work shall be performed during consecutive 8-hour workdays, six days per week (Monday-Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.; Saturday, 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.), with no Sunday construction permitted. The question and answer deadline is Monday, May 4, 2026 at 12:00 P.M. EST, with all questions submitted through the EUNA procurement portal.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on types of organizations responding to this procurement are identified in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. Bid security equal to five percent (5%) of the maximum bid price is required, submitted as either a cashier's check or bid bond issued by a qualified surety company, and the successful bidder must furnish Performance and Payment Bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract amount, within ten (10) calendar days of award notification. Forsyth County is exempt from federal excise tax and Georgia sales and use tax; however, the contractor is responsible for all taxes legally required by law. Site visits are the bidder's responsibility at their own expense, and failure to visit the site does not relieve bidders of contractual obligations. The successful bidder will be awarded based on the lowest responsible bid that meets all specifications and contract terms, with bids remaining open for acceptance by the County for 90 calendar days after bid opening. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the solicitation documents.
