Memorial Park Improvements

The City of Center Line in Macomb County, Michigan, is seeking bids for the Memorial Park Improvements project, which involves the rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing tennis courts and the construction of new at-grade pathways at Memorial Park, located at 25355 Lawrence Avenue. The project's key deliverables include installing tennis and pickleball courts, HMA sidewalks, fencing, lighting, and associated site improvements. Specific scope elements encompass 340 tons of HMA pavement, 760 linear feet of fencing, one lump sum for lighting, five nets and posts, and comprehensive earthwork/excavation. Sealed bids will be received until August 5, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with bidding documents available from ROWE Professional Services Company for $40 per printed set or $30 for PDF files. The project timeline indicates substantial completion is expected by November 15, 2025, with final completion targeted for June 1, 2026. Liquidated damages of $200 per day will be assessed for delays in substantial and final completion, and the contract will require compliance with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements.

The procurement encourages maximum participation by veteran-owned, small, minority, and women's business enterprises, with specific non-discrimination statutes applied to the contract. The project is federally funded through the Council of Michigan Foundations, which may provide additional opportunities for diverse business participation. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves comprehensive site improvements with options for either pulverizing and overlaying the existing tennis court surface or complete reconstruction, using either bituminous concrete or post-tensioned concrete pavement sections. A 3% credit card convenience fee will be applied to bid document purchases, and the City of Center Line reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and waive any formalities. The construction documents, prepared by Rowe Professional Services Company, include detailed technical specifications, soil boring reports, and geotechnical investigations to support the design, with careful environmental considerations implemented through the Michigan Unified Keying System for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures.
