Recreation Services for Boxing Classes

The City of Turlock is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2026-RFP-045 for a qualified contractor to provide recreational boxing instruction for youth and adults through its Recreation Division. The selected vendor will be responsible for planning and delivering a comprehensive curriculum ranging from beginner to advanced levels, including seasonal classes, camps, and clinics. A critical requirement of the contract is that the contractor must provide and maintain a safe, accessible, and appropriately equipped facility, preferably located within the City of Turlock, that complies with all health, safety, fire, and occupancy regulations. Instructors must hold current First Aid and CPR certifications and demonstrate professional boxing expertise. The contract is based on a revenue-sharing model where the City anticipates a split of approximately 70 percent to the vendor and 30 percent to the City, with an additional 6 dollar per-participant administrative fee added by the City. Proposers must submit fee proposals for four, six, and eight-week sessions. Evaluation is based on weighted criteria, and qualified local vendors who have operated within Turlock for at least one year receive a 5 percent preference up to 5,000 dollars. The anticipated contract approval date is January 12, 2027, with proposals due by November 23, 2026. The agreement includes non-negotiable provisions regarding non-discrimination, mandatory arbitration under California law, and City audit rights.
