Overview

Summary

The proposed project, hereinafter referred to as the “Project” consists of the construction of new athletic fields, parking lots, buildings, and stormwater drainage at Helen McCall Park.

Location: Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Contract Time: The contract duration is FIVE HUNDRED FORTY (540) days to substantial completion with an additional THIRTY (30) days for punch list completion.

Background

Helen McCall Park is one of Walton County's most active recreational facilities, serving hundreds of youth and adult athletes annually in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach. The existing park infrastructure has reached capacity, and the demand for organized athletic programming — particularly youth baseball — has significantly outpaced what the current fields and facilities can support.
This expansion represents the County's commitment to meeting that demand with a first-class facility. Phase 1 will deliver six new baseball and t-ball fields west of Moll Drive, along with a press box, concessions, restrooms, batting cages, expanded parking, and all supporting infrastructure. The project requires coordination with two separate entities — MUSCO Lighting (procured via State contract) and Choctawhatchee Electric Cooperative (CHELCO) — for field and parking area lighting respectively, which introduces scheduling dependencies that bidders must account for from day one.
The site presents real construction challenges: significant earthwork with approximately 27,866 CY of import borrow required, a live forcemain sanitary sewer installation with pump stations, stormwater management facility expansion, and a DEP water and sewer permit that is pending at time of bid. The successful contractor will need strong project management, early coordination with MUSCO and CHELCO during rough grading, and the ability to sequence work around an active park environment. This is a high-visibility public project — the community is watching, the schedule matters, and quality of delivery reflects directly on Walton County.
