Gordonsville Park Network Project Phase 1 - Part 2

The Gordonsville Park Network Project Phase 1 - Part 2 is a federally-funded initiative managed by the Town of Gordonsville in Virginia, utilizing Land and Water Conservation funds administered by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The project aims to modernize and upgrade an approximately 4-acre community park that is currently outdated, non-compliant with code, and obsolete. Key components include the installation of a new pavilion and universally accessible playground, a picnic pavilion with pedestrian access, permeable parking areas, and entrance improvements at strategic points. Additionally, the project involves constructing an accessible loop path system connecting various park amenities, supporting pedestrian movement and park accessibility. Site grading, drainage, and stormwater quality infrastructure will be installed to ensure proper water management and environmental compliance. The procurement process is highly detailed, with a solicitation posted on September 19, 2025, and bids due by October 30, 2025. The contract size ranges from $500,000 to $1,500,000, and the project requires adherence to specific federal requirements, including Buy America provisions and affirmative actions to encourage Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation. The bid documents include comprehensive technical specifications, site plans, engineering notes, and procurement instructions, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 1, 2025. The project emphasizes timely completion, with liquidated damages specified for delays, and mandates compliance with federal contracting standards, ensuring a thorough and transparent bidding process for qualified contractors.
