City of Roswell - Multiple parks playground system replacement

The City of Roswell is seeking qualified designers to provide comprehensive playground system replacements at five of its parks, including Rowell Area Park, Groveway Community Park, Sloan Street Park, East Roswell Park, and Garrard Landing Park, under solicitation number PE-66079-NONST-2026-000000058. The project entails full demolition of existing play structures and surfacing, site preparation with a minimum of six inches of compacted aggregate, installation of new inclusive, ADA-compliant equipment suitable for children aged two to twelve, and application of certified safety surfacing—either engineered wood fiber as the primary option or poured-in-place rubber as an alternate. All equipment must comply with ASTM F1487, the CPSC Public Playground Safety Handbook, and 2010 ADA Standards, and must be IPEMA-certified with a minimum 15-year structural warranty. The total project budget is set at $1.5 million, covering all aspects including demolition, materials, labor, freight, site amenities such as benches and curbing, drainage improvements, and final restoration. Proposals must be submitted through the City’s official procurement portal by the deadline of July 24, 2026, and must include a detailed cost breakdown per park, equipment specifications, a project timeline, warranty documentation, proof of insurance, contractor licensure, and references from three municipal playground projects completed within the last five years. Selection will be based on a trade-off approach evaluating design quality, durability, inclusive play features, cost, contractor experience, warranty strength, and installation schedule, with no formal weighting system or scoring rubric provided. Final acceptance requires a third-party Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) inspection and submission of as-built drawings and maintenance manuals. No formal FAR clauses, UEI or CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications are required, and the contract type remains unspecified, though it is likely firm-fixed-price due to the nature of the deliverables. Work must be performed in Georgia, and the City’s point of contact for inquiries is Julie Barnwell, with proposals and communications handled exclusively through the online procurement system.
