Royal Oak Schools' Board of Education is soliciting bids for renovation of the practice field at Royal Oak High School, with proposals due November 2, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. local time under Bid 26-03 (the advertisement labels it RFP #27-03). Each proposal must include two sworn and notarized statements: one disclosing any familial relationships between the contractor's owner or employees and Board members or the Superintendent, and one certifying that the contractor is not an Iran Linked Business.

The work is a synthetic turf field installation covering the base bid and alternates, including Alternate #3. Scope includes field grading to a crown elevation of 669.50, subsurface drainage with Advanced Drainage Systems components, woven geotextile fabric, limestone aggregate, and cast-in-place concrete turf anchors meeting 3,500 PSI. Alternate #3 adds concrete curb with wood nailers and storm sewer piping at a minimum 4-foot depth below finished grade. The base bid specifies 4-inch topsoil depth. Drawing C1.11 shows existing conditions with completed work, and drainage ties to manhole MH-A5. Addendum #4 will revise the grading and drainage plans by October 27, 2026. The project site is 1500 Lexington Boulevard, Royal Oak, Michigan, in Macomb County.
