Pinetree recreation center management & operations

The Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners in Georgia is requesting proposals for the management and operation of the Pinetree Recreation Center, which includes a competition pool, recreation/activity pool, and gymnasium. The County is seeking qualified and licensed professionals to either provide total management of the facility, including all amenities, or management of just the aquatic operations. The expected commitment is to operate the aquatic center 7 days a week for a minimum of 8 hours per day, with specific hours designated for lessons/programs and public use. The successful proposer will be responsible for staffing, programming, budgets, marketing, and daily operations and maintenance of the facility. The initial contract term will be from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, with the option for up to four annual renewals. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit and price, and the County reserves the right to negotiate with the apparent winning proposer.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent contractor is not specified. The RFP also states that the vendor will not need to budget for a point-of-sale (POS) system, as the County will provide that. No information is provided regarding possible award values or budget ranges.
