Splash Pad

The City of Summerville, Georgia, located in Candler County, is soliciting sealed proposals from qualified aquatic recreation and splash pad design-build firms for the construction of a new 3,464 square foot sports-themed splash pad facility. The procurement seeks turnkey services encompassing design, engineering, equipment procurement, site preparation, excavation, installation, and commissioning of a modern aquatic recreation space featuring durable poly-coated FunForm play elements and a flow-through water management system. The facility must include a reinforced concrete slab with slip-resistant broom-finish and UV-stable polyurea safety coating, interactive sports-inspired spray features, and must maintain full ADA accessibility suitable for users of all ages. Qualified respondents must submit signed proposals with a 5% bid bond, Certificate of Non-Discrimination, E-Verify Compliance Affidavit, SAVE Compliance Affidavit, W-9 form, Certificate of Insurance, and Contractor Affidavits for any subcontractors. The evaluation criteria prioritize qualifications and proposal content, with price as a secondary consideration rather than the determining factor. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 21, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. at Summerville Parks and Recreation, with the deadline for inquiries set for May 26, 2026. Sealed proposals must be received by 10:00 a.m. on June 8, 2026, with opening at 2:00 p.m. the same day, and proposals must remain valid for 60 business days.

The procurement specifies exclusive use of spray features and aquatic components manufactured by Water Odyssey/Fountain People, Inc., including distribution manifolds, sequencing controllers, and themed components such as the Crockett spray feature, Batter-Up and Goal spray features, Jet Way, Water Rail, Water Flower, and bucket features. The successful respondent must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and per person, as well as vehicle liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence. While the procurement does not explicitly mention set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational types, the requirement to demonstrate E-Verify and SAVE compliance indicates standard compliance obligations. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or award value ranges are specified in the available procurement documentation. The City of Summerville reserves the right to reject all submissions, cancel the solicitation, and make awards in its sole discretion.
