RFP #26-051 Athletic Complexes Fencing Replacement & Repairs
History
Request for Proposal (RFP) #26-051 (attached) was issued on July 10, 2026, for upgrades to the Centennial Park homerun fences for fields 1 through 5, a new fenced in dumpster coral at Centennial Park and backstop chain mesh replacement at the John Humphrey complex fields 1 through 5.
