Description
The City of Atlanta’s Department of Parks & Recreation will issue an RFP for a Design‑Build team to replace the Grove Park Recreation Center. The selected firm will be responsible for the full project lifecycle: conceptual design, detailed engineering, permitting, construction, quality assurance, and turnover of a multi‑use community facility that includes gyms, classrooms, a senior center, kitchen, and support spaces. The project will be executed under a design‑build contract, requiring coordination of architectural, structural, mechanical, and civil disciplines, as well as construction management and schedule adherence. An optional virtual pre‑bid conference is scheduled, and an on‑site visit is offered for familiarization.
