Calhoun Street Park Improvements RFP 500-145

The Town of Fort Mill, South Carolina, is soliciting bids for the Calhoun Street Park Improvements project (RFP 500-145), a comprehensive sports field reconstruction. The scope of work includes the demolition of an existing natural turf field, site grading, erosion control, and the installation of an artificial turf field with a minimum face weight of 50 oz/sy. Additional infrastructure requirements include poured-in-place concrete retaining walls, concrete sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps and stairs, stormwater drainage systems with river jack dissipators, fencing, gates, sports netting with support poles, and landscape planting. The project is expected to have a duration of 180 days following the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, which is anticipated within 45 days of the bid opening. Bids are due by August 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, as updated by Addendum No. 3. Bidders must provide a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid price. Key technical requirements specify 4,000 psi concrete for curbs and a specific crushed aggregate subgrade for the turf and hardscaping. While the contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary building permits and business licenses, the Town of Fort Mill will secure and pay for third-party materials testing and special inspections. Notably, the site has been reclassified as classified due to potential contaminated soil, which will impact handling and disposal procedures.
