Legacy Field Turf RFP

Greenville Public Schools is soliciting sealed bids for complete removal and replacement of synthetic turf at Legacy Field, 111 N Hillcrest St, Greenville, Michigan, with bids due November 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time and a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough on November 9, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Bids are delivered to the Director of Finance at Greenville Public Schools Central Services, 1414 Chase Street, Greenville, and publicly opened and read aloud at the same facility at 10:00 a.m. on November 20.

Bidders must post bid security of at least 5% of the largest proposed award amount, submit a sworn familial relationship disclosure, and file an Iran Economic Sanctions Act affidavit. The contractor must furnish 100% performance and payment bonds and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. The project is subject to Michigan prevailing wage requirements under Public Act 10 of 2023, using rates set by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity for Montcalm County classifications.

Scope covers an estimated 88,480 square feet of turf with UV-stabilized polyethylene slit-film fibers, a nominal 2.0-inch pile height, and face yarn weight of at least 40 ounces per square yard, suitable for high school football and other existing sports marked on the field. Bidders must verify actual dimensions at the walkthrough. Bids must include four complete installed prices for each turf construction offered: existing pad reuse with conventional infill, existing pad reuse with reduced-heat infill, complete pad replacement with conventional infill, and complete pad replacement with reduced-heat infill. The District prefers factory-tufted permanent markings and sewn roll seams but will consider alternate technologies with documented equivalency. The contractor must provide an eight-year nonprorated manufacturer and installer system warranty covering turf, backing, infill, installation workmanship, seams, and perimeter attachment.

Funding comes from the District's General Fund through state aid and local taxes, with no federal funding identified. The District will retain 10% of work value until 50% completion, then withhold only for unsatisfactory progress or specific cause as permitted by Michigan law. The contractor must achieve substantial completion by May 15, 2027 and final completion by June 1, 2027, with a target spring 2027 start as soon as ground and field base conditions permit.
