Laser Grade Ballfields (Infields)

The state and local contract opportunity involves laser grading of ballfield infields in the City of Sunrise, located in Broward County, Florida. The primary procurement objective is to create safe, consistent playing surfaces for athletic fields by minimizing standing water, preventing irregular ball bounces, and reducing player injury risks. Specifically, the project aims to develop smooth, level, and properly sloped infield surfaces that ensure optimal drainage and improved playability across multiple ballfields. The contract opportunity was posted on July 17, 2025, with proposal submissions due by August 4, 2025. Potential contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in laser grading techniques, understanding of athletic field surface engineering, and the ability to precisely modify field topography to meet drainage and playability standards. Key deliverables will likely include comprehensive field assessment, precision laser grading services, post-installation surface verification, and documentation of surface improvements.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, local government contracts often include provisions for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. Contractors will need specialized equipment for laser grading, including laser-guided grading machinery and precision surveying tools. The geographic focus on Broward County and Tampa City suggests potential regional economic development considerations. Although the exact budget range is not specified, municipal athletic field improvement projects typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on the number of fields and complexity of surface modifications. Prospective bidders should be prepared to provide detailed technical proposals, equipment specifications, projected timelines, and evidence of previous successful municipal athletic field improvement projects.
