Renovation of a playground / park / athletic field in Santa Monica, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a playground / park / athletic field.

The City of Santa Monica, through its Public Landscape Division, is seeking qualified contractors to furnish, deliver, and install components and perform repair work on sports field lighting systems at six citywide locations. Question Deadline 10/27/2025 at 3:00 PM PT Questions must be submitted online in the Q&A tab. The City will only accept or respond to questions submitted through online. One question per submittal. (This does not mean one question per vendor.) Submittals containing multiple questions will not be answered. There will not be a job walk held for this project. The City maintains multiple heavily used sports fields across the city that support youth leagues, adult recreational sports, and community programming including Marine Park, Clover Park, Memorial Park, Airport Park, John Adams Middle School, Belmar Park, and Los Amigos Park. These facilities include lighting poles reaching heights of 60-85 feet, which require specialized equipment and expertise to maintain. Reliable and safe sports field lighting is essential to ensure extended evening use and provide equitable access for all users. However, due to the specialized nature of the equipment--lighting poles from 60-85 feet high--and limited internal staffing and resources, the City relies on external contractors for timely repairs and maintenance.
