The County does not identify any set-asides. Contractors must register with SAM.gov, and responders must submit a Statement of Qualifications with company information, relevant experience, at least three project references, and applicable licenses and certifications.

The work covers parking lot improvements, sidewalks and stair access routes, expansion of athletic courts with a shaded plaza, and additional pickleball courts, including demolition, site work, grading, paving, stormwater treatment, and landscaping. The County is structuring the work as Phase 1 (east side entrance road, parking lots, and athletic courts), Phase 2 (west side park road, parking lots, and athletic fields), and an Alternate covering waterpark parking lot resurfacing. The County reserves the right to award each phase and the Alternate individually or in any combination, depending on available funding and resources. Separate line-item pricing is required for each phase. All work must comply with ADA requirements, the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act, the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), and asbestos management protocols.

Bidders must post a bid bond of 5 percent of the bid price and, upon acceptance, furnish a Performance and Payment Bond for the total bid price within 15 working days.

The draft construction agreement assesses liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day and withholds 10 percent retainage until completion. Pricing must be firm, and payment terms are 30 days. The RFP does not state a total contract value.

The County anticipates issuing a Notice to Proceed on December 28, 2026, with construction starting January 1, 2027 and completion by May 15, 2027. Proposals are evaluated on five equally weighted criteria of 20 points each: responsiveness to the solicitation, experience and past performance on similar projects, references, pricing, and a project-specific approach covering construction methods and schedule management.
