Outdoor pool rehabilitation

The City of College Park, Georgia, located in Fulton County, is soliciting proposals for RFP 26-16 Outdoor Pool Rehabilitation, targeting two recreation center locations: Conley Recreation Center and Tracey Wyatt Recreation Center. The project requires comprehensive pool renovation services, including site preparation, surface repairs, replastering, and component upgrades for both outdoor swimming pools. Qualified and licensed contractors must provide detailed proposals addressing rehabilitation needs such as replacing entry tiles, waterline tiles, skimmer tiles, repainting fiberglass features, removing surface irregularities, and updating pool deck markings. Proposals are due on October 2, 2025, at 3:00 pm EST, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 11, 2025, at 10:00 am EST. The evaluation criteria will assess technical approach (25%), cost proposal (25%), experience and references (20%), team qualifications (10%), schedule and availability (10%), and warranty and post-completion support (10%). Bidders must demonstrate at least 5 years of commercial pool renovation experience, possess state licensing, and comply with OSHA safety standards.

Preference will be given to local businesses within College Park's city limits, with potential bid advantages if their proposal is within 3% of the lowest non-local vendor. Bidders must provide various insurance certifications, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and professional liability, and comply with E-Verify requirements. The contract will be awarded for one year with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, with the City intending to select the most responsive and responsible bidder, not necessarily the lowest cost. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves significant infrastructure improvements at two municipal recreation centers. Potential contractors should be prepared to integrate with existing recreational facility infrastructure and demonstrate capability to work within municipal procurement guidelines. The City maintains flexibility in vendor selection and may request additional documentation or samples to verify contractor qualifications and proposed solution quality.
