Playground Site Selection and Feasibility Analysis

The City of Bellevue is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive site evaluation for potential playground locations, encompassing environmental, safety, accessibility, and community impact assessments. The assignment requires a detailed analysis of candidate sites to determine their suitability for public playground development, ensuring compliance with relevant standards and alignment with community needs. The contractor must evaluate factors such as soil conditions, drainage, proximity to existing infrastructure, potential hazards, ADA compliance, and the demographic and social implications of siting a playground in each location. The final deliverable must include a well-supported site recommendation based on the aggregated findings of the assessments. This recommendation should clearly justify why one location is most viable over others, considering all evaluated criteria. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, and responses are due by August 27, 2026. The work is expected to be performed within the City of Bellevue, Washington, though specific performance locations are not detailed in the posting. All evaluations must be thorough, data-driven, and focused on long-term usability, public safety, and equitable access for all community members.
