Introduction

The City of Gallatin is requesting sealed bids for the construction of six (6) tennis courts for the

Parks and Recreation Department. Bids must be submitted no later than 2:00 PM on Monday,

May 18, 2026, in a sealed envelope clearly marked “Parks and Recreation Tennis Courts.”

Scope of Work

Vendors are invited to submit bids for construction of six (6) tennis courts for the Parks and

Recreation Department. All bidders are required to participate in a site visit with the

Director of Parks and Recreation, David Brown. Failure to do so may disqualify the bidder.

Bids must meet all specifications listed below:

 Receive site at plus or minus 8” to final grade after demolition of six (6) existing asphalt

tennis courts.

 Build six (6) – 120’ x 60’ post-tension concrete tennis slabs in three (3) groups of two (2)

tennis courts.

 Install 10’ black chain-link fence around grouping of courts with gates.

 Install new nets and net posts.

 Install acrylics – US Open Green and Blue Scheme.

 Install 2” white tennis lines.

 Specify warranty of product and work. (Number of Years).

 Total Cost.

Post-Tension Concrete Specs

 Site Preparation and Base Grading: The subgrade and finished concrete

surface must maintain a consistent 1% slope to ensure proper drainage and

prevent water ponding.

 Base Material: Provide and compact a 4-inch layer of quarter-minus stone.

The base must be leveled and compacted to a minimum of 95% relative

compaction to provide uniform support.

 Concrete and Footing Geometry Slab Thickness: The court surface shall

consist of a monolithic 5-inch-thick concrete pour. We require 3500psi

concrete, and it must be broom finished.

 Laser Screeding: A laser screed is a specialized construction machine used

to pour, level, and vibrate concrete for large, flat surfaces, often achieving

accuracy within 1/10th of an inch. It uses laser transmitters to guide a robotic

arm—equipped with a plow, auger, and vibrato to automatically create a

smooth, dense, and precise surface. This method is much faster and more

accurate than manual methods.

 Perimeter Footer: A continuous thickened edge (footer) measuring 12

inches wide by 12 inches deep is required around the entire perimeter to

provide structural stability for the post-tensioning anchors.

 Post-Tensioning Protocol: The structural integrity of the slab is maintained

through a two-stage tensioning process using high-strength steel tendons.

Initial Stressing is performed 24 hours after the concrete pour. The cables are

tensioned to 4000psi. This is done to prevent early-age shrinkage cracking

while the concrete is still gaining strength. Final Stressing is performed 5 to 7

days after the initial pour. The target pressure is 7500psi. Elongation

measurements should be recorded to ensure the system has reached the

design effective force.

 Finishing and Pocket Grouting Tendon Trimming: Upon verification of

the final stress, the protruding cable ends shall be cut flush with the edge of

the concrete slab All anchor pockets (recesses) must be patched with a non-

shrink, high-strength cementitious grout to protect the anchors from corrosion

and provide a smooth perimeter finish.

 Surface Grinding: The entirety of the surface will be grinded prior to

application of any acrylic surfacing materials. Grinding a newly built P.T.

slab is necessary to ensure that any imperfections are removed. This also

allows the acrylic products to adhere to the surface to the best of their ability.

This gives us the premium finish that we can provide.

 Final Inspection: Before final payment, the contractor must remove all trash

and debris from the site, subject to owner approval.
