RFP 25/34 – Ridgeway Elementary Playground Addition

The Columbia Public School District issued RFP 25/34 to add a playground at Ridgeway Elementary (West Blvd Elementary). Four optional build‑out packages were defined, each capped at $100,000, with the core requirement being an ADA‑compliant multi‑unit play structure.

The procurement was open‑competition, with many “NO BID” responses and several firms submitting the maximum $100,000 bid, indicating strong price sensitivity. No detailed scope drawings, timelines, or point‑of‑contact information were included in the excerpt. • Project: Playground addition for Ridgeway Elementary, Missouri. • Budget: Up to $100,000 per option; awarded option likely under $100k. • Procurement: Full and open competition; awarded to PlayPower (Option 1). • Scope: Installation of ADA‑compliant multi‑unit playground equipment; other options included turf and additional mound structures.
