Resolution to Approve a Contract with Best Asphalt to Rebuild the Tennis and Basketball Courts at Clinton Park ($133,843.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $133,843.00 contract with Best Asphalt to rebuild the tennis and basketball courts at Clinton Park.
The City has been making improvements to existing tennis and basketball courts that are in disrepair. The Clinton Park courts were first constructed in 1966 and were repaved in 1987 to repair cracks. The court surface has multiple cracks, and the base is in disrepair and requires a complete rebuild.

Best Asphalt $133,843.00*
