D-B RFP Splashpad Project

The City of Peachtree City is seeking qualified Design-Build firms to provide professional services for a Splashpad Project at Pebblepocket Park through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement involves comprehensive project delivery, including planning, permitting, design, engineering, construction, and project close-out. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including firm profiles, project understanding, design concepts, project team qualifications, references, and detailed cost proposals. Submission requirements include one original, three copies, and one thumb drive of the proposal, due by September 18, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. local time. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 2, 2025, at the park location. Evaluation criteria will assess firm stability (10%), relevant experience and qualifications (25%), design fee amount (25%), management plan (15%), and construction fee percentage (25%). Proposers must be licensed and insured in Georgia, demonstrate experience in recreational facility construction, and provide stamped architectural and engineering plans.

The contract has a total project budget of $400,000, with a targeted design phase beginning in October 2025 and construction starting as soon as possible. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, firms must meet Georgia licensing requirements and possess proven capabilities in recreational facility development. The proposal requires detailed cost breakdowns across multiple categories, including labor costs for project personnel, overhead expenses, field office setup, temporary utilities, and insurance. The Peachtree City Council will ultimately award the contract based on staff recommendations, with the city reserving the right to reject any or all proposals. Proposers must carefully complete pricing documentation, with a warning that failure to comply with instructions or incompletely filling out forms may result in disqualification. The city emphasizes transparency in cost reporting and will verify actual costs submitted by design-build firms.
