Title
ITB #25-048 Centennial Park Dugout Fencing
History
Invitation to Bid (ITB #25_048) was issued on August 20, 2025, for upgrades to the Centennial Park dugout fences for fields 6, 7, 8 and 9. The existing fencing is a 25_year_old galvanized chain link that is showing its age with rust and fatigue of the chain link mesh. The fence footings are heaving causing gaps at the bottom of the fence in which balls can escape the playing surface. The heaved footings also present a safety risk with the exposed concrete.
Specific work for the repairs are detailed in the attached Scope of Work.
The ITB was posted on Bidnet and the information was partially downloaded by Thirty-Five (35) vendors and completed by Six (6) vendors.
Six bids (see attached Bid Compliance Summary) were received from Innova Fence, Proline Fence, Classic Fence, Superior Enterprises Inc., National Sports Nets LLC and Maka Construction Services Inc.
Innova Fence is a new vendor whose references were excellent.
