Council awards $78,100 contract to build Heroes Park pickleball courts
Summary
The council approved a $78,104.52 contract with TrueLine to construct three pickleball courts and related improvements at Heroes Park, funded by a Providence Saint Jude grant; construction is expected August–October 2025.
The Buena Park City Council voted unanimously to award a contract to TrueLine for the Heroes Park Pickleball Court project. Assistant engineer Aaron Esparaza Almorez told the council the project scope includes three new pickleball courts, resurface of two basketball courts, eight benches, relocated exercise equipment, fencing and resurfacing of a senior‑center pickleball court.
The informal bid solicitation produced a single responsive bid. Esparaza said TrueLine was the lowest responsive bidder at $78,104.52; staff recommended awarding the contract. Construction is anticipated to start in August 2025 and to be completed by October 2025. The project is to be funded by a Providence Saint Jude grant that staff said provides $71,000 plus $26,000 rolled over from earlier grants.
Council member Carlos Franco asked about outreach and why only one bid was received; staff explained the informal bidding process solicits at least three contractors and they contacted manufacturers’ recommended local installers, but only one firm responded during the bid window. Council discussed design and demolition differences with planned work at other parks and asked staff to confirm design cost comparisons; staff said the Heroes Park project likely required only nominal design work because it primarily repurposes existing basketball surfacing.
The council approved the contract by motion and second; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
