Playground - Sunset Park (Federal Funding)

Rocky Mount, North Carolina is requesting proposals for design, procurement, and construction of a new playground at Sunset Park under federal funding, with proposals due October 28, 2026. The procurement is a turnkey engagement requiring qualified, licensed contractors to deliver the complete project lifecycle from design through closeout documentation.

The play area spans 65 by 85 feet with concrete border, sub-surface materials, grading, drainage, and accessible connection to existing sidewalk. The main play feature must be a rope-and-cable climbing structure for ages 6–12 with a minimum of 475 square feet, or a functionally equivalent structure of equal or greater size and comparable quality and play value. Surfacing options are pour-in-place or tile, with landscape architects required to provide separate alternate pricing for each option. Additional amenities include a three-bay minimum swing set, two benches on pad or with pads, and one trash receptacle near the sidewalk.

The scope encompasses all design, engineering, procurement, shipping, site preparation, construction, installation, project management, testing, inspections, permits, cleanup, restoration, and closeout documentation. Contractors must demonstrate capability to manage the full project lifecycle and comply with applicable playground safety, accessibility, and construction quality standards. No contract value, incumbent, evaluation criteria weighting, pre-bid meeting, or question deadline is specified in the available materials.
