Out in Freeport, the village wants to tear down the old handball court at Cow Meadow Park and put up a new basketball court in its place, with bids due October 20 at 11 a.m. at the Municipal Building.
This is solicitation 26-10-PBWK-784. The documents are free -- no fee to pull a set -- but watch the clock on this one: the village's own listing shows documents are only available through October 16 at 4:30 p.m., so you've got less than a week after this posts to get your paperwork before bids are even due four days later.
A 5% bid bond or certified check is required with your bid. No dollar estimate is on the posting, so you're pricing demolition of an existing handball court and construction of a new basketball court on your own numbers.
The village has gone this route before at the same park -- it previously awarded the Cow Meadow Park fence replacement re-bid to GTX Construction Associates Corp. for $152,000, so there's a track record of the village running smaller site contracts here in pieces rather than one big package.
If you do demolition or athletic court construction, don't sleep on the document deadline. Get down to the Municipal Building before October 16 at 4:30 p.m. to pull your free set, line up your 5% bid bond or certified check, and have bids in by 11 a.m. on October 20.
