NMPS/NMHS Tennis Courts

The New Milford Board of Education is seeking a single, fixed-price proposal for professional design, engineering, and construction administration services to demolish six existing asphalt tennis courts at New Milford High School and reconstruct them using high-performance post-tensioned concrete, with proposals due August 21, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on July 31, 2026 at 10:00 AM.

The scope encompasses discovery, geotechnical and surveying work; two conceptual design options (Option A: six regulation courts, or Option B: four courts plus one multipurpose court with spectator seating); comprehensive construction documents meeting American Sports Builders Association standards; stormwater pollution control planning and permitting under 2024 Connecticut Guidelines; preparation of a construction RFP bid package; and full construction-phase administration including site inspections, shop drawing reviews, and project close-out. The District requires a separate optional fee line for Add/Alternate No. 1 covering United States Tennis Association Facility Assistance Grant support and compliance services.

The selected consultant must complete initial site evaluation, conceptual designs, specifications, and cost estimates within thirty days of contract execution. All deliverables—digital PDFs, AutoCAD files, hard copies, project manuals, and construction administration records—become the exclusive property of the District. Bidders must carry Worker's Compensation Insurance with statutory limits including $500,000 employer's liability; General Liability Insurance with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate plus $1,000,000 umbrella; and Property Damage Insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate limits. The District is tax-exempt and will not include taxes in the bid price; the successful bidder assumes all federal, state, and local tax responsibility.

Vendor questions are due August 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM, with the public bid opening scheduled for August 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Anticipated construction bid posting is October 2, 2026, with construction award targeted for November 2, 2026 and construction commencement anticipated for June 14, 2027. Proposals must remain valid for ninety calendar days from submission. Contact: Jane Cornelis at 860-354-8726 or cornelisj@newmilfordps.org.
