Staff recommends the City Council award a contract for the base bid and alternate #1 for the Pioneer Park Tennis Court Replacement Project, to The Good Earth Works Co. Inc., in the amount of $1,124,654.00.

This project was approved in the Parks FY24 CIP.

This project is intended to replace the six existing tennis courts and associated fencing south of the restroom facilities at Pioneer Park. These tennis courts have reached the end of their useful life, resulting in the closure of two of the courts. Replacement of these courts will assure a safe playing surface and ADA accessibility.
