Skate Park

The City of Lafayette, Georgia, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design, supply, and construction of a modern and inclusive skatepark. The city seeks to provide a variety of recreational activities to its citizens and is encouraging proposals from locally owned businesses, minority-owned firms, and female-owned firms. The skatepark should accommodate skateboarders, rollerbladers, bike riders, and scooter riders of all skill levels and ages, with a focus on fostering a sense of community and encouraging physical activity among the city's youth. The total budget allocated for this project is $170,000, and the city is seeking innovative solutions to maximize the use of funds while ensuring the highest quality of the skatepark. The submission deadline for proposals is November 8, 2023, at 2:00 p.m., and the successful offeror will be required to provide various documents, including payment and performance bonds, an executed agreement, engineered plans, and insurance documents prior to the commencement of work.

The RFP outlines specific requirements for the proposal, including the design concept, experience and qualifications of the offeror, scheduling, references, warranty, and cost. Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria such as experience, design, scheduling, references, warranty, cost, and commitment to safety and inclusivity. The city reserves the right to award the contract to an offeror other than the one who presented the lowest cost if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the city's citizens.
