Two (2) New Basketball Courts

Burke County is seeking a contractor through a Request for Proposal (RFP) to design and install two new basketball courts at Citizen Park. The project requires comprehensive construction services, including rough and fine grading of a 100' x 121' area, installing an asphalt base, and applying acrylic resurfacing in royal and light blue colors. Specific deliverables include striping regulation basketball lines, installing four 5' Porter gooseneck basketball goal systems, and adding LED lighting with underground wiring. The RFP mandates that bidders submit three copies of their proposal, detailing a quote, project start date, and estimated completion time. A mandatory site meeting is scheduled for May 15th at 4 pm at the Citizen Park Gym Parking Lot, with sealed proposals due by Wednesday, June 4th at 4 pm. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including pricing, freight costs, warranty information, and project turnaround time. The county will evaluate proposals based on responsiveness and will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Technical specifications require specific materials, including 9-gauge black vinyl-coated fence wire, 8' high fencing, 300-watt NextGen LED fixtures, and 4-inch round steel poles with 22' mounting height. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, interested contractors can obtain additional details by contacting Stephen Waskey, Recreation Director, at burkerec@burkecounty-ga.gov or 706.554.5210. The project will be implemented in Calhoun County, Georgia, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, provide comprehensive project planning, and meet the specific material and installation requirements outlined in the RFP. The procurement process emphasizes competitive bidding and seeks a contractor capable of completing a high-quality basketball court installation project.
