Sunny Acres Park - Dugout, Retaining Wall Repairs, and Upgrades

The Town of Mansfield Parks and Recreation Department has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation, designated as #15406, for comprehensive repairs and upgrades to the retaining wall and dugout area at Sunny Acres Park located in Tolland County, Connecticut. The specific scope of work requires vendors to remove an existing 30-foot long by 4-foot high retaining wall behind the dugout and batters box area along the first baseline, and replace it with a new wall that includes proper drainage and backfill. Additionally, the project requires constructing a 4-foot long by 2-foot high return wall at the home base/backstop entrance of the dugout. The solicitation opened on May 3, 2023, at 10:15 AM EDT, with proposals due by June 8, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors must submit their proposals directly to Sheri Baczanski at the Town of Mansfield, located at 4 South Eagleville Road in Storrs, Connecticut. The RFP specifies Free On Board Destination delivery terms and allows vendors to specify their own payment terms. Two addenda have been issued in conjunction with the original RFP document, which vendors should carefully review before submission.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to the solicitation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation does not provide an estimated total value for the project, and no budget range is specified. The opportunity is open to all vendors without any apparent qualitative restrictions or preferential treatment. The RFP documents consistently indicate that this is a competitive solicitation with standard municipal procurement protocols, focusing solely on the technical specifications of the retaining wall and dugout repair project. Vendors interested in responding should carefully review all provided documents, including the main RFP and the two issued addenda, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the project requirements.
