City to accept bids on repairs to clubhouses

The city is seeking bids for repairs and upgrades to the clubhouses at Franklyn's Field and Pinti Field.

The Board of Estimate and Contract voted 5-0 Thursday to advertise for bids on the work. Bids will be due at 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 13, in the Clerk's Office at City Hall. The bids will then be opened at the board meeting immediately after the deadline.

Franklyn's Field is located at 1106 N. James St. The clubhouse is located along the park's west side, fronting James Street.

The city wants to complete at least four aspects of the project, with other work available for optional bids. First is the replacement of six plexi-glass windows with fixed glass vinyl windows. The second requirement is the wrapping of porch posts. The contractor must also put in a concession window and replace the 36-inch entry doorway.

Additional items for which contractors can submit bids, but which the city can choose not to do, include insulation, metal facia repairs, drip edge work and upgrades to the attic stairway door.

At Pinti Field on Sixth Street, the city will remove siding and small gable trim, but will contract out installation of new siding and associated features.

The work for both sites is to be completed by May 15.
