PRJ_2604 Joseph P Riley, Jr. Ballpark 2026 Field Improvements

Charleston, SC

Location: 360 Fishburne Street, Charleston 29403

Description: the work of this project consists of removing and restructuring the playing field system and

underlying utilities for this minor league baseball stadium. The facility is constructed adjacent to salt marsh and

atop an old landfill site. Ongoing land subsidence has resulted in settling of the field surface and has possibly

affected the underlying irrigations and drainage systems relative to the pile supported stadium structure.

Specific elements of work, which are being verified now, could include the following items:

• Removing existing turf and subsurface materials down to a specified depth

• Removal and replacement of the existing field drainage and irrigation systems if pre-design testing

discovers breakage, joint slippage, or other deficiencies

• Possible addition of perimeter drainage piping and catch basins around entire perimeter of ballfield

• Replacement of geotextile fabric, substrate materials, turf, and field layout.

Due to the specialized nature of this project, the City of Charleston is pre-qualifying contractors prior to

bidding. Only those General Contractors whose firm and team of supervisory personnel possess significant

experience in sports field construction will be allowed to bid on the project. Any firm submitting a response

shall be licensed by the State of South Carolina and shall perform no less than 80% of the required construction

with its own in-house forces. Subcontractors will be subject to approval by the City’s representative.

Contractors must have been actively and directly engaged in constructing similar types of sand-based baseball

fields, and renovating such fields for a minimum of 3 years. Laser grading equipment is mandatory for all

phases of the work. The project will be released for bid in the summer of 2026 with construction slated to begin

in mid to late October 2026 or as soon as the 2026 season ends. Work must be completed by February 1, 2027

prior to the start of the Citadel’s opening game.

Budget: Construction costs for the project TBD.

Submittals: Please use AIA Document A305-1986 “Contractors Qualification Statement”. In addition to this

document, please also provide the following supplemental information:
