Mamie Hicks Park Tennis Court Renovation

The City of Shreveport, Louisiana is requesting quotes on the demolition of one-half of the existing tennis court slab at Mamie Hicks Park and construction of a post-tension slab with tennis and pickleball markings under RFQ 26-519, with quotes due September 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

A Louisiana State Contractors License is required when the total quote is $50,000 or more; this project classification requires licensing for building construction and specialty services for recreation and sporting facilities. Quoters must bid without sales and use tax included for component construction materials and will serve as contractor-agents of the City under Louisiana R.S. 47:301 et seq.

The estimated contract value is $225,000 with an estimated completion timeline of 120 calendar days from notice to proceed. Work must commence within ten days of notice to proceed. Performance and payment bonds are required — a 100% performance bond for contracts of $50,000 or more, a 50% payment bond, and a two-year 10% maintenance bond. Quote bonds are not required.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible quoter based on factors including quality of performance, timely completion of previous contracts, financial resources, and substantial compliance with specifications. Partial payments will be made monthly with 10% retainage; final payment is due 45 days after completion and lien clearance. Liquidated damages are assessed at $270 per calendar day for delays.

A non-mandatory pre-quote site visit is available with no appointment required. Prospective quoters may submit questions via email to debra.walker@shreveportla.gov or by fax at least seven working days before opening. The City retains the right to reject any or all quotes and waive minor informalities.
