2. Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Leesburg, Florida

City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-27 · agenda_item

The City of Leesburg is moving forward with the Susan Street Sport Complex, which involves a $650,000 change order for its completion. This project includes significant upgrades and modifications, such as additional rock and excavation for a championship artificial turf field, and the installation of bleachers and scoreboards for other fields. The project also required storm water mitigation, involving changes to design criteria and increased treatment volumes due to its eventual discharge to Lake Griffin. This item is now adopted, meaning the project is planned and moving forward. The scope of work will involve site preparation, extensive underground utility and drainage systems, paving, installation of sports facilities like turf fields and scoreboards, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging early to understand the specific needs for site clearing, grading, concrete work, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and specialized sports field construction as plans are finalized. Early engagement can provide an advantage before bids and permits are fully settled.
