Jones Beach BBALL field resurfacing

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for an infield renovation project at Jones Beach State Park in Nassau County. The procurement (PO-LI-2024-25-JB-002) involves comprehensive rehabilitation of the West and East ball fields, with specific requirements including regrading and rototilling clay, leveling clay surfaces, removing and replacing outfield sod, resetting the arc to correct 70' dimensions, and adding infield clay mix with proper drainage. Vendor questions are due by March 14, 2025, with full proposal responses required by March 28, 2025 at 3:00 PM. The project has a strict completion deadline of April 4, 2025, with a mandated approach of starting and completing the West ball field first. Evaluation criteria will be based on the lowest total cost, with all submitted quotes required to remain valid for a minimum of 90 days. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage regulations, be registered in the contractor registry, and meet specific insurance requirements.

The contract opportunity is not designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Set Aside, and no incumbent vendors are identified for this project. Mandatory insurance specifications include Commercial General Liability insurance with a $1,000,000 per occurrence limit, and contractors must provide proof of Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits Insurance. The solicitation includes compliance requirements with New York State finance laws, lobbying restrictions, and executive orders, particularly those related to business operations with Russia and workplace harassment prevention. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the field renovation suggests a substantial project investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in sports field renovation, understand precise grading and sod replacement techniques, and be capable of completing a complex infrastructure improvement project within a tight timeline at Jones Beach State Park.
