Roy Raley Ice Rink Design/Build Services

The City of Pendleton, Oregon is seeking design/build services for the Roy Raley Ice Rink Rebuild project located in Union County. This Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits qualified contractors to design and construct a new multipurpose ice rink that will function as an ice skating facility in winter and a pickleball court in summer. The project requires complete excavation and replacement of the existing concrete pad, installation of a new refrigeration system, and integration with current park infrastructure. Key deliverables include a comprehensive design that meets specific technical specifications for rink size, cooling systems, and seasonal adaptability. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor qualifications, past project experience, proposed schedule, and overall design quality and value. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on February 6, 2024, with proposals due by February 22, 2024, and project completion required by August 2024 or 2025 to ensure continuous seasonal operations.

The project is partially funded through the Oregon State Parks Local Government Grant Program and will require compliance with state and local contracting regulations, including prevailing wage requirements. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, contractors should be prepared to demonstrate experience with municipal recreation infrastructure projects. The RFP requires submission of an itemized budget with separate pricing for dasher boards, indicating a desire for detailed and transparent cost proposals. Contractors will need to show technical capability to design and construct a versatile recreational facility that can transition between winter ice skating and summer pickleball use. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant capital investment for municipal infrastructure renovation.
