Lyons - Park Lighting RFP

The City of Lyons, Georgia is issuing a Request for Proposal for the furnishing and installation of comprehensive lighting systems at Partin Park and Faison Park. The project encompasses the replacement of athletic field and court lighting, poles, and controls across multiple areas, including baseball/softball fields, soccer fields, pickleball courts, and basketball courts. The lighting systems must meet specific illumination levels ranging from 20 to 30 footcandles depending on the area type, with a color temperature of 5700K and a minimum Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 75. Pole installations must be completed at heights between 40 and 70 feet, utilizing steel poles with pre-stressed concrete bases or anchor bolt foundations. The project evaluation will be based on proposed approach and timeline (30 points), experience and qualifications (20 points), references (20 points), and cost proposal (30 points). Proposals must be submitted via email by 12:00 PM local time on May 15, 2026, and all contractors are required to conduct a mandatory site visit prior to proposal submission. The cost proposal is divided into six line items covering Partin Park Fields 1 and 2, Faison Fields 1 through 3 (soccer), and Faison Field 4 (pickleball and basketball), with costs to be submitted on a lump-sum basis.

The Request for Proposal does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting response to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises. However, the manufacturer must demonstrate a minimum of 10 years of experience in sports lighting design and fabrication and provide 10 LED installation references located within Georgia. Additionally, a 25-year parts and labor warranty is required, covering equipment rental, shipping, guaranteed light levels, and all subscription costs for remote monitoring and control systems. The installing contractor is responsible for locating underground utilities, obtaining all required permits and inspections, and providing as-built electrical drawings upon project completion. Electrical systems must conform to the National Electric Code and utilize contactor switching rather than dimming drivers. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific budget ranges are identified in the available documentation.
