The City of Council Bluffs Parks & Recreation Department is seeking competitive bids for a park improvement project, specifically at Fairmount Park, with a total project value estimated between $150,000 and $300,000. The scope of work involves installing approximately 4,700 square feet of poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing, earthwork, a drinking fountain, and multiple playground structures and elements, including play structures for different age groups, a hillside slide, swings, and a ReviWheel Spinner, all of which are owner-purchased. The project also includes landscaping and seeding with hydraulic mulch to enhance the park's aesthetics and safety. Bids must be submitted electronically via Ion Wave by July 11, 2024, and the contract is awarded on an all-or-nothing basis to a single bidder, with work scheduled to commence within ten days of the notice to proceed and be completed by October 15, 2025. The procurement process emphasizes strict adherence to submission deadlines, with no acceptance of hard copies or late bids, and requires bidders to ensure their submissions are complete and received on time. The contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder, and the selected contractor will be responsible for completing all specified work within the designated timeframe. This project aligns with the city's broader efforts to improve recreational facilities and public safety at Fairmount Park, with detailed specifications and bid instructions available through the city's online bidding portal. The project is part of a broader set of municipal procurement activities, which include various construction, service, and supply contracts across different departments and jurisdictions.
