Rock Climbing Park

The City of Lafayette, Georgia is seeking proposals for the design, supply, and construction of a climbing park with climbing walls and boulders at a new city park located in LaFayette, Georgia 30728. The scope of work consists of site preparation, footers, construction or installation of climbing wall and boulders, holds, and auto belays where necessary. The city is encouraging proposals that offer innovative solutions to maximize the use of the $885,000 budget while ensuring the highest quality climbing park. The submission requirements include information on the Offeror's company history, qualifications of the project team, design concept, references, warranty, and timeline. The selection criteria include experience, design, scheduling, references, warranty, cost, and commitment to safety and inclusivity. The RFP has a submission deadline of November 8, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., and the City reserves the right to award a contract to an Offeror other than the one who presented the lowest cost if the best interests of the City are served.

The city is flexible regarding the choice between climbing and bouldering for the rest of the wall, as well as the number of anchors, provided they are sufficient. The city has not yet finalized the management approach, with the possibility of staffing the elevated or anchored areas and leaving the bouldering areas open and unstaffed. Respondents are permitted to submit up to two distinct proposals featuring unique designs or materials. The project timeline targets a spring or early summer 2024 commencement and a June 1st, 2025 completion.
