Tennis Court Renovations

Cheboygan Area Schools is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive tennis court renovation project located at 905 W. Lincoln Avenue in Cheboygan, Michigan. The procurement involves complete renovation of existing tennis courts, including removing the current surface and constructing a new 3.5" HMA asphalt surface with acrylic paint coating. The project scope includes installing multiple pickleball courts, court posts, nets, and 540 linear feet of chain link fencing in varying heights. Sealed bids are due on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. local time, with an optional pre-bid meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at the project site. Bid evaluation criteria will encompass multiple factors, including cost, maintenance/service agreements, conformity to specifications, delivery and installation timeline, service and warranty levels, bidder references and credentials, and total cost of ownership. Bidders must submit a 5% bid security, a familial relationship disclosure affidavit, and an Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance affidavit. The district allows for an alternate bid option (Alternate #1) which would exclude the middle court section while maintaining two pickleball courts.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the school district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and is not obligated to accept the lowest bid. Interested parties can obtain bidding details and specifications from Steve Fleming, the district's Transportation, Maintenance, and Grounds Manager, who can be contacted at flemings@chebschools.com. The project will be executed within Chippewa County, specifically in Cheboygan City, and involves the Cheboygan Area Schools district. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the renovation, including multiple courts, fencing, and surface treatments, suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure improvement for the school's athletic facilities.
