RFP Number 10.7.26.1 - Playground Design and Installation

The David Douglas School District is soliciting proposals under RFP 10.7.26.1 for the design and installation of ADA accessible and inclusive playgrounds in Portland, Oregon. The scope of work includes the initial installation of one preschool playground, with the potential for additional preschool or K-5 installations and as-needed work at existing sites. Awardees must provide playground equipment, surfacing, and site amenities, while guaranteeing the availability of repair parts for at least five years. The project is funded under the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal awards (EDGAR), requiring compliance with 2 CFR 200, the Davis-Bacon Act, and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. This is a qualifications-based selection where cost is a significant consideration. Proposals are evaluated on a 150-point scale, with 100 points for the technical proposal—covering design experience, project timeline, and product line—and 50 points for the price proposal. An additional 50 points may be awarded if the district conducts interviews. The contract is firm-fixed price, and the successful proposer must provide a performance and payment bond equal to 100 percent of the contract amount within ten days of the notice of intent to award. All installations must adhere to ADA accessibility standards and local regulations, with a 30-day performance evaluation period following installation to ensure equipment is operational at least 98 percent of normal business hours.
