Board awards high‑school tennis-court resurfacing; no pickleball striping planned
Summary
The board awarded the Spring Lake Park High School tennis-court resurfacing to the low bidder (Park Construction) after bids came in lower than expected; the board clarified striping will not include pickleball to preserve competitive high‑school tennis standards.
The Spring Lake Park Public Schools board on April 14 approved awarding the high‑school tennis‑court resurfacing project to the low bidder, Park Construction, after bids were opened and the district determined less earthwork was needed than initially expected.
Amy Schultz explained the bidding process and said the project's expected cost dropped by about $370,000 from earlier estimates because less earthwork was required. The board voted to award the contract to the low bidder and move forward with the work; Hennon moved the action and the motion passed.
Board members asked whether the resurfacing would include pickleball striping. District staff clarified the striping will not include pickleball because the facility must remain configured for competitive high‑school tennis. "The striping will not include pickle ball," a board member said; staff confirmed the intent is to have courts ready for tennis in the fall.
Provenance: Bid award discussion and vote (presentation and Q&A SEG 916–936; motion and vote SEG 905–967).
Speakers quoted or referenced: Amy Schultz (finance/operations presenter), Hennon (board member).
