SUMMARY:
ITB #21-0006-PR, Countryside Sports Complex Field Lighting - Phase II closed on July 8, 2021 and only one responsive, responsible bid was received in accordance with the plans and specifications.
Over the past two years, major renovations to the Countryside Sports Complex located at 3060 McMullen Booth Road have been accomplished. Renovations included a new press box, restroom, locker room, storage, concession building, new lighted stadium field, parking lot/driveway improvements, drainage improvements and landscaping.
This contract is for the renovation of the lighting system on the NE multipurpose field, which will allow for the field to be expanded to a competitive width of 225 feet. The contractor will provide all materials, labor, and equipment to remove and replace existing light poles currently in the playing surface and install new lighting fixtures to provide lighting levels of 30-foot candles (fc).
This is a 90-day contract which will begin in September and be completed by December 2021. Since most of the work will take place outside of the playing fields there will be little disruptions for the youth groups who use the Sports Complex, primarily Countryside Cougars and Clearwater Soccer.
