NHS Football/Soccer Installation/Demo/Turf/Rubber

The Lincoln County School District is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive synthetic turf soccer and football field installation project at Newport High School. The Request for Quote (RFQ) offers three proposal options: turf only, labor and rubber installation, or a comprehensive turf and installation package covering approximately 85,000 square feet. Technical specifications include 50 oz. Power House Slit Film Fiber Turf with 3-ply primary backing, a 2.25" pile height, and cryogenic rubber infill. The project requires contractors to adhere to Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) Prevailing Wage guidelines and submit certified payroll reports. Proposals are due by May 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with an anticipated project start date of August 1, 2025, and completion expected by August 29, 2024. Evaluation criteria will likely include technical specifications compliance, pricing, and ability to meet project timelines and regulatory requirements.

Potential bidders must meet specific regulatory and financial requirements, including filing a $30,000 Public Works bond with the Construction Contractors Board and providing a 100% performance bond. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, contractors must be licensed to do business in Oregon and carry comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability with $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate limits. Workers' Compensation insurance must meet statutory limits with Employer's Liability Insurance set at $1,000,000 per occurrence. Contractors will be responsible for providing their own equipment, glue, seam tape, and potentially covering room and board expenses. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project and detailed technical specifications suggest a significant capital investment for the synthetic turf field installation.
