The City of Carlsbad is requesting bids for synthetic turf replacement at two community parks—Aviara Community Park (CIP No. 4762) and Alga Norte Community Park (CIP No. 4761)—with bids due September 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. PST, and a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visits on September 9, 2026 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Bidders must hold California licensure as either a General Building Contractor (Classification B) or Landscaping Contractor (Classification C-27) and maintain active public-works registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations. This is a prevailing-wage project subject to Department of Industrial Relations labor compliance.

The Aviara project (129,400 square feet) involves removal and recycling of existing synthetic turf, base regrading, edge-anchor modification, supplemental pad installation, and new synthetic turf surfacing with lines and markings. The Alga Norte project (154,280 square feet across two ball fields) adds soccer goal anchor installation and new maintenance equipment. The synthetic turf system is specified as TenCate Pivot 120 or approved equal. Both sites require erosion control and temporary controls during construction.
