REQUEST SUMMARY


The City of Puyallup is seeking Statements of Qualifications from design consultant firms with experience and expertise in the conversion of grass athletic fields to artificial turf fields to design the Puyallup Valley Sports Complex Field Conversion Project.  The project includes retrofit of two or more existing dirt infield and grass outfield ball fields to artificial turf field.  The fields are located at the Puyallup Valley Sports Complex, 808 Valley Avenue NW, Puyallup. 


 


In addition to the conversion of the fields to artificial turf the project includes the addition of a minimum of two multi-purpose fields, to be contained within the outfields of the existing fields.  The multi-purpose fields will be designed to accommodate soccer, lacrosse, and football, in addition to the current baseball/softball uses.  The existing lighting and fencing will need to be evaluated to determine necessary changes to accommodate all uses as well as physical layout of the fields.  The consultant will need to provide bid-ready construction documents. Additional support during the construction phase may be added by amendment to the awarded contract at the discretion of the City.
