RFP 26-114 Lifeguard Management

The City of Brookhaven is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-114 for the staffing, water maintenance, and supervision of its aquatics program across three public outdoor swimming pools. The contract features a three-year initial term beginning January 1, 2027, with an option to renew for an additional two years. The agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia and includes an absolute termination date of December 31, 2028. The selected service provider must provide an experienced project manager and qualified lifeguards holding nationally recognized certifications in lifeguard training, CPR for professional rescuers, and first aid. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Bonfire Portal by December 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. EST. The submission package must include a proposal letter, a cost proposal, a Secretary of State Certificate of Incorporation, and signed exhibits A through F, which cover security compliance, bond documents, and non-collusion affidavits. Award selection is based on the most responsible and responsive consultant, with a specific note that cost will not be the deciding factor. The City maintains the right to unilaterally terminate the contract due to lack of funding and requires the provider to maintain payment, performance, and maintenance bonds.
