About this opportunity

The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is requesting statements of qualifications from playground equipment providers for the Playground Improvements Program (2027–2029), with SOQs due October 20, 2026 and a pre-proposal meeting scheduled for October 9, 2026 at 1111 E Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio.

This is a prequalification process. CRPD intends to qualify equipment providers who will then participate in RFP evaluation and subsequent bidding for specific playground projects. Selected providers must integrate their design and products into overall project scopes; CRPD reserves the right to select different providers for individual projects based on project-specific RFP responses. No equipment substitutions will be allowed once selected.

The scope encompasses playground equipment with varied design parameters across multiple projects within the 2027–2029 program window. Providers must demonstrate capability to work collaboratively with CRPD on design integration and quality-based specifications.

The pre-proposal meeting on October 9, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. in the Buckeye Conference Room is optional. Parking is available in the Southern Lot and along Ohio Avenue and Madison Avenue. Questions are due October 12, 2026. Interviews will be conducted as needed in early November.
