Request for Proposals/Bids

Millcreek Common Climbing Wall Strip and Refinish

March 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. local time

1. Introduction. Millcreek (the “City”) is requesting proposals/bids (“Proposals” or

“Responses”) from qualified proposers (“Proposers”) for striping the existing finish and

applying a new finish to the city climbing wall (as described below).

1.1. Intent. It is the intent of this Request for Proposals/Bids (this “Request”) to

set forth the minimum acceptable requirements for Responses to this request.

2. Background of the Project. The City was incorporated in December of 2016

and currently has an approximate population of 63,000 residents. In November of 2023 the City

moved into their new Millcreek City Hall. At the northeast corner of City Hall is a climbing wall

used for recreational climbing. After more than two years, inclement weather, and many

climbers, the exterior finish on the plywood climbing wall is worn and needs to be stripped off

and reapplied. Refer to Exhibits A, B, and C below.

3. Climbing Wall Description. The City constructed an 85 feet (approximately)

four-sided plywood climbing wall to the northeast corner of city hall. At ground-level, the base

of the wall is approximately 12 feet long by 3 feet wide, and about 85 feet tall as mentioned

above.

3.1 Scope of Work. Proposer will strip the existing finish from the plywood

wall without damaging the existing plywood base, seal all grooves and joints in the

plywood, and apply a light stain and a new weather-tight, UV resistant finish to match the

existing texture – the wall has an abrasive texture. The city is seeking that the new finish

on the climbing wall will last approximately 5 years.

3.2 Operations and Equipment. Proposer will be responsible for providing

all labor, materials, tools, equipment, lifts, and cleanup to accomplish the scope of work.

3.3 Schedule. Proposer will schedule this project, starting March 16, 2026

and finishing by April 3, 2026. All work will be performed between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm

Monday through Saturday.

3.4 Extra Notes. Please consider that currently much of the wall has been

covered with ¾ inch plywood with horizonal 2x4 cleats to protect the wall while simulated

ice climbing occurs. This extra layer of plywood and the 2x4 cleats will be removed

before wall refinishing begins.

6. Evaluation Criteria and Scoring Process. The Evaluation Committee will

review all Proposals received. Each evaluation criterion has been given a percentage based on its

relative value. The criteria and each associated percentage are as follows:

▪ Qualifications (65%)

• Cost (35%) The points assigned to each cost proposal will be based on the

lowest proposed cost. The Proposer with the lowest proposed cost will receive

100% of the price points. All other Proposers will receive a portion of the total

cost points based on the percentage of the lowest price proposal divided by

their proposed higher cost. The formula to compute the points is:

Cost Points x (lowest proposed cost/proposed cost).

▪ References (references are a mandatory minimum requirement and the City

may do its own investigation and the result of the investigation at any time

during the solicitation process may result in a disqualification based on the

City’s sole and absolute discretion)

7. Selection. An Evaluation Committee or individual(s) will be appointed by the

City (the “Evaluation Committee”) to evaluate the Qualifications component of the Proposals.

The above criteria will be used to evaluate the Proposals. If such modification occurs, each

Proposer being interviewed will be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the interview

of the revised criteria. In addition the Director of City Facilities may discuss with the Proposers

who are being considered for the award. In addition, one or more Proposers may be invited to

participate in an interview; however, the Evaluation Committee reserves the right to modify the

criteria with respect to interviews. Proposals may be accepted without discussion or interview.

The Mayor or her designee will make the award. The Cost component will be evaluated by a

neutral party who is not part of the evaluation committee. Cost scoring will be considered after

the evaluation committee scores the qualifications component.
