In April 2019, the city issued step one of the bidding process. The request for qualifications received six responses. In June, the council approved a shortlist of potential contractors for the project:

  • Hogan Construction Group, LLC of Norcross, GA
  • Russell S.P.A.C.E Venues Group – H.J. Russell & Company of Atlanta, GA
  • Winter Johnson Group of Atlanta, GA

Only contractors on the approved short list may submit a proposal during step two. Proposals are due to the city by Friday, September 5, at 12 noon. Afterwards, staff will score the proposals before recommending a contractor to the city council.

The amphitheater has an estimated construction timeline of twelve to eighteen months. The project’s architect, Tunnel Spangler and Walsh, previously estimated construction costs at $10 million dollars not including road work or parking.
