Whitesville Road Soccer Complex-Expansion Project Nautral Grass Sports Turf System

Troup County, Georgia is seeking sealed proposals for the Whitesville Road Soccer Complex Expansion Project, specifically soliciting a Natural Grass Sports Turf System for a 90-acre facility located at 1700 Whitesville Road in LaGrange. The project involves constructing three full-size soccer fields (240'x360') with a comprehensive natural grass turf installation, including a 6" USGA sand root zone, underdrain system, and irrigation design. Bidders must be a Certified Field Builder (CFB) with at least five years of experience and are required to provide a detailed proposal covering contractor qualifications, technical specifications, product information, and manufacturer warranties. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 8 MAY 2025 at 2:00 PM on the project site, with all sealed proposals due by 3:00 PM on 29 MAY 2025 to the Troup County Purchasing Department. The project requires a 5% Bid Bond, and the total project timeline is 120 consecutive calendar days with an anticipated construction start date of 1 JULY 2025. Evaluation will be based on best value, qualifications, and comprehensive project approach, with alternatives available for single field installation and football goal post placement.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. Bidders must submit a vendor application, E-Verify form, and W-9, and must be properly licensed and insured. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project involves integrating with existing infrastructure at the Whitesville Road Soccer Complex, including utilities provided by the City of LaGrange. The site plan indicates comprehensive development across 22.29 disturbed acres, with 471 total parking spaces planned across two phases. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project involves substantial infrastructure investment, including field construction, irrigation systems, lighting, and associated site improvements. Troup County will handle permit submissions and fees, and the contract will be awarded using the AIA Document A101 (2017 edition) with modifications, suggesting a significant capital investment in the soccer complex expansion project.
