body
DESCRIPTION
Hunt Fountian Park is a fully developed 60+ acre park located in the north Lakeland area of the County. It was constructed in the late 1970s and the population growth in the area has created a high demand for use of the athletic fields in the park. The youth soccer league in this facility has continued to grow.
In 2024, the Board approved a CSA with Chastain Skillman Inc. to design and permit the conversion of the four multi-purpose fields to artificial turf. This request was the result of the increase in league soccer participants, expanded soccer seasons, and poor drainage in the soccer field area, which has contributed to the deterioration of the existing four natural turf soccer fields. Converting the fields to artificial turf is an effective means to address field issues and allows for expanded use of the fields by eliminating down time for maintenance and turf recovery.
Parks and Natural Resources requested Procurement to solicit bids from qualified contractors to construct the four multi-purpose fields. Bid 25-635, Hunt Fountain Artificial Turf Fields was issued, and eight contractors submitted bids.
