Committee to split playground RFP to reduce cost and speed procurement
Summary
Staff will split the playground RFP into two solicitations—demo/removal and design/install/surfacing—to keep the project within budget and move faster; Nick Miele to meet with Mike O'Neil for a demo estimate.
Nick Miele told the committee the playground procurement will be divided into two RFPs: one for demolition and removal (site prep) and another for design, installation and surfacing. The split is intended to improve budget control and accelerate the schedule by allowing the town to award site‑preparation work separately.
"Originally, we were going to have one RFP broken into sections… The project is complicated and difficult to stay within budget. We are looking to break this into two separate RFPs which will allow the project to move quicker," Nick Miele said. Nick also said he will meet with Mike O'Neil to obtain a demolition/removal estimate; Penny Wu said splitting the RFP may reduce cost and allow more companies to review site plans at the Vermont Parks and Recreation conference.
