Huntington council approves pickleball-court bid on grant contingency
Summary
Council approved a roughly $125,000 bid from Premium Surface Solutions to build new pickleball courts, voting to accept the contract contingent on securing grant funding and choosing premium construction options when feasible.
The Huntington City Council voted to approve a bid from Premium Surface Solutions to construct new pickleball courts, with the award contingent on obtaining grant funding. Staff presented options ranging from a post-tension 60-by-60-foot court (a higher-end method to reduce cracking) to a standard rebar-reinforced concrete option and additional items including surfacing, fencing and lighting.
Council members discussed trade-offs between durability and price. One councilor recommended the 'elite' post-tension option if the city could fund it; another noted the full package, including fencing and surfacing, would bring the total close to $125,000. The motion approved the full bid on the condition that grant money be secured, and directed staff to pursue grants while treating the accepted bid as the basis for applications.
Council asked staff to clarify which portions would proceed if grant funding falls short and to report back on funding status and timelines.
