Pierce County selects Statewide Engineering to renovate Tiger Field with $343,000 grant and county match
Summary
The board approved Statewide Engineering for the Tiger Field renovation; county officials said a $343,000 grant funds part of the project and the county will match that amount. Commissioners debated who should score future bids and approved the selection by motion.
Pierce County commissioners on April 1 approved hiring Statewide Engineering to perform design work on the long‑planned Tiger Field renovation, a project the chair said is funded in part by a $343,000 grant the county will match.
Chairman Neal Bennett said the Tiger Field project has been under discussion for three years and that the county “received $343,000.00 from a grant and the county will match that amount to redo Tiger Field and the walking track.” Three firms submitted proposals; recorded scores in the minutes list Hofstadter & Associates at 55, T.R. Long Engineering at 56 and Statewide Engineering at 68. Commissioner Randy Dixon moved to approve Statewide Engineering and Commissioner Troy Mattox seconded; the motion carried.
Commissioner Graham Raley asked who scored the proposals; Bennett said office staff performed the scoring, and Raley suggested the board consider scoring bids in future procurements. The minutes do not record a detailed scope of work, a contract value, or a roll‑call tally; staff will need to supply contract documents and a procurement record for public review.
The selection advances a funded county capital project that, according to the minutes, pairs grant funds with a county match to renovate the field and walking track. Next steps in the minutes include finalizing the contract with the selected engineering firm and incorporating required grant conditions.
