Board awards $373,083 contract to replace four failing tennis courts at Kent Island High School
Summary
Facilities staff recommended and the board approved a sole-source contract to American Tennis Courts to remove and replace four damaged tennis courts at Kent Island High School, including an allowance for soil-cement if subgrade remediation is needed.
Darrell Barriclo, supervisor of facilities and design, told the board that the existing tennis courts at Kent Island High have severe asphalt cracking and that prior crack remediation seven years ago has failed. Staff concluded the courts require full removal and replacement down to the granular subbase and recommended awarding a sole-source contract to American Tennis Courts, the county's preferred contractor.
The contract base price presented was $310,458.25 with a soil-cement allowance of $62,625 in case the subbase is inadequate, for a total potential contract not-to-exceed amount of $373,083.25 funded from the FY26 local Capital Improvement Plan. Barriclo said the contractor provides a one-year warranty following installation and cited prior county work by American Tennis Courts (track restorations) as experience in the county.
Board members asked how the need for the soil-cement allowance would be determined; staff said proof-rolling and on-site assessment after asphalt removal will determine whether the subgrade requires remediation. The award was approved by voice vote.
