Carlson Field Athletic Complex: Construction of new Pickleball Courts
What this bid is
The Town of Hingham is asking for sealed bids to build eight new pickleball courts at the Carlson Field Athletic Complex on Bare Cove Park Drive in Hingham, MA. The scope includes clearing trees and shrubs with stump and root removal, re-grading the site, and installing the courts with posts, nets, walkways, benches, shade shelters, fencing, sound attenuation, a new asphalt parking lot and ADA pathways. The contractor also takes on construction fence and erosion control, and must coordinate with the Town and the separately awarded building demolition contractor.
The notice gives an estimated construction cost of $1,300,000. Prevailing wage rates apply, so labor has to be priced at the published rates, and certified payroll usually follows. The pre-bid conference is listed as non-mandatory, though the notice also describes a meet at the Carlson Fields parking lot on October 14, 2026 at 11:00 AM EDT, and no contractor questions will be answered during that visit.

Deadline
