QQ 27-0005 Baseball Field Grading and Land Distribution

The City of Galax is soliciting quotes from qualified land-disturbing contractors for grading and drainage improvements at the varsity baseball field located in Felts Park, Virginia. The scope of work includes grading approximately 0.7 acres to establish a level infield playing surface, excavating a portion of the embankment behind the home plate backstop for a new retaining wall, and installing approximately 1,500 linear feet of drain tile connected to an existing storm drainage line. All excavated soils must be stockpiled on-site at City-designated locations. The project must be substantially completed by October 23, 2026. Quotes are due by September 28, 2026, and will be evaluated based on price and the specific factors set forth in the request for quotes to determine the most advantageous offer. The contract is awarded as a firm lump sum and requires the contractor to provide proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance, naming the City as an additional insured and alternate employer. Payment terms include the possibility of progress payments, though the City may retain up to 5 percent of the total order value until completion. Contractors must certify compliance with non-discrimination laws, the Federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, and Virginia's ethics and public contracting codes.
