Eight (8) New Pickleball Courts

Burke County is seeking a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design and installation of eight new pickleball courts at a local recreation facility. The comprehensive project requires a contractor to complete full site preparation, including rough and fine grading of a 143' x 130' area, installing an asphalt base, constructing fencing (approximately 670' of 6' high and 240' of 4' high), applying acrylic resurfacing, striping courts, installing net posts and nets, and adding LED lighting with sixteen 300-watt fixtures on twelve 4-inch steel poles. A mandatory site meeting is scheduled for May 15th at 2 pm at 50 Olympic Drive, with sealed proposals due by Wednesday, June 4th at 4 pm to the County Manager's office. Bidders must submit three copies of their proposal, including detailed pricing, warranty information, and project completion timeline. The County reserves the right to reject any and all bids and will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contractors are expected to provide a comprehensive quote that includes start date, estimated project duration, company overview, and contact information, with specific attention to ensuring the asphalt base can support potential future shade area expansions.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific enterprise restrictions, the project is located in Calhoun County, Georgia, and seeks a comprehensive solution for pickleball court construction. The document does not indicate any incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. Bidders should be prepared to provide a full-service solution that includes design, site preparation, construction, and installation of all court components. Though a specific budget range is not directly stated in the available documentation, the project involves significant site work, including grading, asphalt installation, fencing, resurfacing, and lighting, which suggests a substantial investment. Interested contractors should carefully review the full RFP documentation and be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, project management skills, and competitive pricing for this recreational facility improvement project.
