REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Winslow Park Bathhouse Remodel
RFP No. 26-005
The Town of Freeport is requesting proposals from qualified applicants to renovate six (6) of
the public restrooms at the Winslow Park bathhouse. It is the intent of the RFP to describe
the project in sufficient detail to secure bids on the work required.
The proposer will provide labor and all supplies and materials required to complete the project.
The project will include the complete renovation of six (6) public restrooms including painting of
all walls and ceilings (not doors), new epoxy floor (with fleck) in each bathroom, and
replacement of existing bathroom fans with a new appropriately sized unit in each bathroom.
Each bathroom will also have the following installed for six total each: replacement windows,
replacement elongated toilets, new ADA compliant door hardware, replacement shower stalls
within existing space (rough valve & simple on/off valve to meet code), new ADA compliant
stainless steel wall mounted sinks, new stainless steel sink faucets (must be ADA and UPC
compliant for public restrooms), alterations as needed for hot and cold water pipe modifications.
In one of the six units (closest to the accessible parking spaces), all alterations will be required to
comply with ADA. This will also require the removal of a non-load bearing wall to make space
for the ADA compliant shower. In addition, the project will include the installation of new
piping modifications in mechanical room for both hot and cold water.
Prior to the start of construction, the contractor will be responsible for obtaining any required
permits from the Freeport Codes Enforcement Officer. Any new plumbing piping (including
piping, drainage, waste and venting) will need to be completed by a Licensed Plumber. Any
costs of permitting will be the responsibility of the Town of Freeport.
There will be a public sitewalk of the proposed project facility on Wednesday, November 19,
2025 at 9:00 am meeting at the public bathhouse facility at Winslow Park, 50 Winslow Park
Way, Freeport, Maine 04032. This sitewalk will begin promptly at 9:00 am and be held rain or
