Little Creek Pedestrian Bridge

Greenville County, South Carolina is seeking a contractor to remove and replace the Little Creek Pedestrian Bridge located on the Green Line of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail Network. The project involves installing a new 11' x 53' pedestrian bridge with concrete decking, designed for a 90 psf uniform pedestrian loading, and including 6' long, 48" high matching railings on wingwalls. Contractors must provide a comprehensive design package stamped by a Professional Engineer, demonstrating compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. The evaluation criteria will assess responsiveness, previous experience, cost, references, schedule, bridge design, erection method, and site access plan, with each criterion scored on a 0-10 point scale. Key project dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 1, 2025, proposal submissions due by August 22, 2025, at 3:00 pm, anticipated contract award on September 5, 2025, and a notice to proceed scheduled for September 19, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in general liability and automobile liability.

The Request for Proposal does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive insurance coverage and meet professional engineering requirements. The project requires a detailed site access plan and potentially incorporates a Swamp Rabbit logo on weathered steel panels as specified by Greenville County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the Sample Services Agreement template suggests the potential for contract extensions up to four additional annual renewals. The project involves four wing walls and complete bridge replacement, with the precise location near the convergence of Vinson Drive and Delta Drive at coordinates 34.902240041810884, -82.44328267309193.
