Pre-Advertisement Notice for Grove Park Recreation Center Design Build

The City of Atlanta, through the Department of Procurement and the Department of Parks and Recreation, is soliciting proposals for the Grove Park Recreation Center Replacement Project. Utilizing a Design-Build delivery method, the selected firm will be responsible for the entire project lifecycle, including community engagement, preliminary and final design, permitting, engineering, demolition, site preparation, construction, and final facility turnover. The project requires strict adherence to the 2018 International Building Code, ADA accessibility standards, and NFPA requirements, with the contractor assuming all risks associated with existing as-is site conditions. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical capability, demonstrated experience, key personnel, and the ability to meet schedule requirements. The contract requires a lump sum cost proposal supplemented by specific allowances for LEED certification, partnering, and owner contingencies. Awardees must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract value and maintain comprehensive insurance. Additionally, the City mandates strict compliance with Office of Contract Compliance requirements, specifically requiring M/FBE certifications, as SBE and DBE certifications are explicitly stated as insufficient for this procurement.
