RRHA-IFB-2026-30 Hillside Playground Upgrade Final

The Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority is requesting bids for the Hillside Playground Upgrade project in Richmond, Virginia under IFB RRHA-IFB-2026-30, with sealed bids due October 5, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The contract carries mandatory participation goals of 30% minority-owned businesses, 10% women-owned businesses, and 30% Section 3 businesses — a significant compliance requirement that filters bidder structuring.

Work is located at 1500 Hardwood Street, Richmond, and includes removal of two existing tree stumps and concrete sidewalk sections; installation of new concrete sidewalk connecting the community building to the play area; grading and landscaping with positive drainage away from structures; fine-grading and seeding of disturbed areas; and relocation of site lighting fixtures. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and submit certified payrolls.

The contract term is 60 days from award. Bids must be submitted as firm fixed price with a 5% bid bond requirement. Contractors must obtain appropriate Virginia contractor licensing (Class A, B, or C based on contract value), provide performance and payment bonds within 15 days of award, and carry workers' compensation, automobile liability ($1 million combined single limit), and commercial general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate with $50,000 fire damage). The project is HUD-funded and subject to HUD Handbook 7460.8 requirements and federal, state, and local procurement regulations.

An optional pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for September 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the project site. Questions are due September 23, 2026. Sealed bids may be submitted electronically via eVA or by hand delivery to the RRHA Procurement Office. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
