Chattahoochee Pointe Park Playground Design and Installation

Forsyth County, Georgia is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP 26-51-5211) for the design and installation of a new playground facility at Chattahoochee Pointe Park, located at 5790 Chattahoochee Pointe Drive, Suwanee, Georgia 30024. The County seeks a qualified firm to provide comprehensive playground services including design, equipment supply, bonded rubber mulch surfacing installation, and subbase preparation for a facility designed to serve children ages 5-12. Deliverables include seamless integration of the existing playground with a proposed expansion area to create a unified 6-inch concrete-curbed play space with a minimum of four accessible entry points. All equipment must comply with ADA standards and federal CPSC, ASTM, and IPEMA guidelines, with wooden structures explicitly prohibited. Required qualifications include experience in playground design and installation, financial capability to perform the work, and ability to obtain necessary bonding and insurance coverage. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Cover/Transmittal Letter and Forms (Pass/Fail), Qualifications (15 points), Aesthetics and Creativity (70 points), References and Experience (10 points), and Cost (5 points). The question deadline is 12:00 p.m. on Monday, May 11, 2026, and proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2026, with firm names to be read aloud at 2:30 p.m. the same day. Bidders are responsible for conducting independent site visits at their own time and expense, with no pre-bid meeting scheduled.

The procurement documents do not reference any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to specific types of organizations, disadvantaged enterprises, or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The project requires integration with existing playground infrastructure, as the new design must connect seamlessly to the existing playground structure within a defined boundary area. Contractors must submit a Bid Bond with their proposal and, upon award, execute Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the total contract price. Selected contractors must provide proof of E-Verify compliance and comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 general liability, $1,000,000 auto liability, and $5,000,000 umbrella coverage, naming the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners as an additional insured. The total project budget is $250,000, and proposals exceeding this amount will not be considered. Proposals must remain firm for 120 days from the closing date, and selected contractors must execute a construction services agreement prior to work commencement.
