1) Install approximately (1120) linear feet of 6’ tall chain link. Fencing from backstop to dug out and including dugout to have bottom rail. All other fencing to have bottom tension wire.
2) Install (4) 4’ wide walk gates and (2) 10’ wide double drive gates.

All posts set in concrete footings.
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 ([email protected]). Questions received prior to Tuesday, January 30th, 2024 will receive a response prior to the acceptance of the RFP. Requests received after that date will receive a response pending staff availability.
