La Cienega Park Playground Renovation Project

The City of Beverly Hills is seeking to prequalify experienced contractors for the La Cienega Park Playground Renovation Project, which involves a comprehensive upgrade of approximately 12,000 square feet of playground space. The project includes replacing play equipment, installing new poured-in-place fall protection, adding various amenities, constructing a perimeter fence, shade structures, and improving drainage within the playground area. The playground features two distinct zones for children aged 2-5 and 5-12, connected by a passive play area, with primary play equipment supplied by Kompan and installed by the contractor, who must hold manufacturer certifications for installation. The project requires contractors to possess a valid California Contractor's License Class A or D-32 or other appropriate classifications in good standing, with prior experience in playground renovation projects and collaboration with other construction trades. The prequalification process, outlined in detailed RFQ documents, mandates that interested contractors submit a comprehensive questionnaire and supporting materials by November 13, 2025. Evaluation criteria focus on licensing, experience, and capability to execute the project, which has a contract size estimated between 500,000 and 1.5 million dollars. The City emphasizes responsible bidding through a structured prequalification procedure, including appeal options and confidentiality provisions, to ensure only qualified contractors proceed to bid. The project is managed by the Beverly Hills Public Works Department, with primary contact Mandana Motahari available for inquiries. The initiative aims to select capable contractors who can deliver a high-quality playground renovation aligned with safety standards and community needs.
