Description
The City of Whittier is seeking a qualified design‑build contractor to deliver Phase I of Whittier Falls Park. The scope includes conceptual site planning, natural‑play landscape design, installation of city‑provided playground equipment, safety surfacing, planting, and a pavilion, all within the 2026 construction season. The contractor must attend a mandatory site visit, submit a sealed hard‑copy proposal, and provide a lump‑sum price covering all design and construction elements. Evaluation emphasizes design creativity, relevant municipal park experience, and overall value rather than lowest price.
• Design‑build services for a natural‑play park (conceptual 3‑D renderings, planting palette, and layout).
• Installation of existing playground equipment, safety surfacing, and a pavilion, plus grading, utilities, and a gravel parking lot.
• Lump‑sum contract with no disclosed budget; $35 k allocated for Phase I per Addendum #2.
• Mandatory site visit on 29 Jul 2026; proposal deadline 12 Aug 2026 (2 PM).
• Award expected mid‑August 2026 with work to be substantially completed during the 2026 season.
