Site Design Considerations

• The proposal should include a schedule for the project based on a notice to proceed in February 2024 and identifying a target date that the site could be open to the public. May 1st is the date requested by Muskegon Little League.

• Proposed site design would need to work into the existing fence system at the ballfield.

Questions on the above phasing can be submitted to Kyle Karczewski via email (kyle.karczewski@shorelinecity.com). Questions received prior to Tuesday, January 30th, 2024 will receive a response prior to the acceptance of the RFP.
