Pickleball Court Construction

The City of Adairsville in Barrow County, Georgia, is seeking a construction contractor for a pickleball court project at Veterans Memorial Park through Request for Proposal (RFP) 25-04. The procurement involves constructing 6 new pickleball courts with comprehensive specifications, including fine grading, ground preparation, a 4" GAB base, 2-layer asphalt surface with liquid acrylic coating, 18' high fencing with gates, a 3.5' separator fence, net and foundation systems, and court striping. An optional lighting component is also available for bidding. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM on May 8, 2025, at the City Council Chambers, with the contract awarded shortly thereafter. The project has a 120-consecutive calendar day completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a bid proposal, evidence of bondability, non-collusion affidavit, Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act Affidavit, and a vendor application. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with the owner reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds and maintain specific insurance coverages while complying with local and state regulations. The project's total cost will be determined through unit pricing for each court construction component, with the optional lighting as a separate line item. While a specific budget range is not detailed in the documents, the project involves significant infrastructure development within Veterans Memorial Park, which includes multiple recreational amenities. Contractors will need to integrate their court construction with existing park infrastructure, including walkways, other recreational areas, and potential existing utilities. The comprehensive nature of the project requires contractors to demonstrate technical expertise in sports court construction, site preparation, and municipal park development.
