Requests bids for court resurfacing at city parks

The City of Albany, New York, through its Department of Recreation, is soliciting competitive bids for a comprehensive court resurfacing project across 15 city park locations, encompassing approximately 140,615 square feet of basketball, tennis, and pickleball courts. The procurement requires contractors to perform extensive surface restoration, including pressure washing, crack repair, applying acrylic resurfacer and specialized paint, and painting court lines according to specific technical standards. Bid submissions are due on November 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with a bid opening scheduled for 1:30 PM the same day. The contract period extends from execution through December 31, 2026, with potential for a one-year extension. Bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct site visits to develop accurate project scopes and cost estimates, and must submit a 5% bid security. The project will be completed in two potential waves: a spring series starting no later than June 1 and a fall series beginning no earlier than September 1, 2026. Contractors must comply with New York State Labor Law, including prevailing wage rates and the Albany Living Wage Ordinance.

The procurement includes mandatory minority and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) participation goals, requiring 15% of total contract value and 30% of labor hours to be allocated to MWBE firms. No performance bond is required for this contract. Contractors must provide per-square-foot pricing for potential additional court resurfacing, and the City reserves the right to expand the project using the same specifications. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project covering 15 locations suggests a substantial contract value. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors with demonstrated experience in municipal court resurfacing, technical proficiency in surface restoration techniques, and the ability to meet MWBE participation requirements. Interested bidders must demonstrate compliance with local labor regulations, technical competence, and the capacity to execute a multi-site resurfacing project within the specified timeframes.
