Oak Street Park Development Project

The City of Hoschton, Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified landscape design firms to develop a comprehensive design plan for the Oak Street Park Development Project, located at 15 Oak Street in Hoschton. The project involves creating a 1.78-acre multi-functional community green space that will encompass nine contiguous parcels bordered by E Broad Street, Oak Street, GA Hwy 332, and a local stream/New Street. Deliverables must include a detailed site analysis, conceptual site plans, comprehensive design drawings, and specifications that incorporate features such as pedestrian pathways, benches, picnic tables, waste receptacles, bike/golf cart parking, a foot bridge, metal fencing, and concrete pads for recreational activities. The evaluation criteria will focus on design quality, technical expertise, cost effectiveness, and the firm's prior experience with similar community projects. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of February 20, 2025, with proposals due on February 25, 2025, at 2:30 PM EST, to be opened at the city's municipal offices located at 65 City Square, Hoschton.

The request for proposals does not explicitly indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The project budget is capped at $100,000, including contingencies, which suggests this is a relatively modest municipal infrastructure development contract. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors were mentioned in the documentation. The city reserves the right to negotiate contract terms with the selected design firm and will prioritize proposals that demonstrate comprehensive consideration of long-term maintenance requirements and safety features. Interested landscape design firms must submit comprehensive proposals that include detailed firm information, conceptual site plans, technical drawings, itemized cost estimates, and a proposed project timeline. Respondents will be evaluated based on their creativity, functionality of past projects, technical expertise, and overall qualifications in designing community green spaces.
