RFP 26-006 Commerce Ridling Field Renovation - Phase 1

The City of Commerce, located in Jasper County, Georgia, is seeking sealed proposals for the Ridling Field Renovation - Phase 1 project through RFP 26-006. The comprehensive renovation involves complete site demolition and reconstruction of a recreational facility at 414 Shankle Heights, Commerce, GA. Specific project requirements include removing two existing buildings (concession stand and equipment building), four dugouts, two retaining walls, and existing fencing. Contractors must submit detailed site plans, obtain necessary permits, clear and grade the site, construct erosion control systems, implement slope stabilization, and install underground utilities. The evaluation process will be conducted by a city-selected committee, scoring proposals across five key criteria: project understanding (25 points), project team experience (20 points), similar project experience (20 points), proposal quality (10 points), and pricing (25 points). A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 2, 2025, at 10:30 am, with proposal submissions due on September 22, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The contract period is limited to 180 days from the notice to proceed, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all proposals.

Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation, including company background, client references, and a detailed bid sheet. Insurance requirements mandate $1,000,000 in general liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance. The project is funded directly through the City of Commerce, with payment processed after project completion and successful testing. Contractors must comply with local regulations, specifically the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act, and submit an E-Verify compliance affidavit. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, vendors will need to demonstrate technical competence, financial stability, and the capability to complete the renovation within the prescribed 180-day timeline. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in upgrading the Ridling Field recreational facility. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation and prepare detailed proposals that address the specific technical and procedural requirements outlined in the RFP.
