About this opportunity

Greenville County is seeking proposals for a comprehensive management contract for Riverbend Equestrian Park, located at 175 Riverbend Road in Greenville, South Carolina. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) #24084 for a one-year contract with potential for up to four annual renewals, focusing on managing day-to-day equine services, programs, and activities at the 66-acre facility. The selected vendor will be responsible for horseback riding lessons, horse boarding, birthday parties, trail rides, and other equine-related activities. Vendors must submit a detailed proposal including company background, qualifications, teaching certifications, proposed programming, hours of operation, and maintenance methodology. The proposal must include a fee schedule with revenue sharing details, proposed monthly lease fee, and supporting documentation such as veterinarian references, insurance certificates, business registration, and financial audits. The evaluation will consider eight equally weighted criteria: responsiveness, experience, programming, maintenance methodology, cost, fiscal sustainability, and references. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit on April 9, 2024, at 2:00 pm, with proposal submissions due by April 29, 2024, at 3:00 pm. The county anticipates awarding the contract on May 13, 2024, with a notice to proceed on May 27, 2024.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the county seeks a vendor capable of operating the facility sustainably and increasing park attendance while providing diverse equine and recreational activities. Vendors must provide a Substitute Form W-9 and specify their legal business information, including taxpayer identification type and entity classification. The Sample Services Agreement indicates that total compensation will be determined through the proposal process, with payment terms including a 30-day payment window. Contractors will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The contract emphasizes the contractor's responsibility for safety, health, security, and compliance with local and state regulations. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the successful vendor will be expected to generate revenue through park activities while sharing a portion with Greenville County and paying a monthly lease fee.
