This is a procurement document for the City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management and Budget, acting on behalf of the Department of Public Works, for the Highland Park Tennis Courts Upgrades project spanning two phases at 6344-6348 Stanton Avenue. The project encompasses comprehensive tennis court renovation including repaving approximately 32,700 square feet in Phase I and 26,300 square feet in Phase II, with two-color coating, surface restoration using a 1-1/2" liquid applied acrylic surface system, PennDOT Superpave materials for leveling, and a 6" compacted PennDOT 2A base course. The scope also includes reinstallation of existing nets and site furnishings, with optional add alternates for repaving the bleacher and pavilion area and replacing the existing water fountain with a city standard model. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 2, 2022, at 8:00 am, with bid questions due by August 19, 2022, and final bid responses required by August 25, 2022, at 2:00 pm. Bidders must comply with Pennsylvania State Prevailing Wage requirements and submit a performance bond for 100% of the project amount.

Prevailing wage rates for the project range from approximately $22 to $54 per hour with fringe benefits between $16 and $34, reflecting a professional-level construction project. While the procurement documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, standard equal opportunity documentation is required from all bidders. Contractors must demonstrate capability in complex infrastructure renovation with particular expertise in tennis court resurfacing, site restoration, and municipal public works projects. The project requires independent coordination with separate lighting and fencing contractors, along with precise technical specifications including strict requirements for tree protection, material disposal, and maintenance of existing site furnishings such as benches, concrete pads, fence posts, and top-rails. Bidders must complete a vendor questionnaire and agree to city terms and conditions, with careful coordination expected with city project managers and parks maintenance staff.
