Special Call Village Council Meeting re Baseball Field License Agreement · 2026-07-27 · agenda_item

The Village of Islamorada is planning renovations for the Founders Park Baseball Field located at 87000 Overseas Highway. This project, owned by the Monroe County School District and designed by MSA Design, involves replacing the existing grass field with a new synthetic turf playing surface. The scope includes demolition of the current field, installation of new synthetic turf for the field, bullpens, and pitching mounds, as well as new fencing and a concrete curb around the field's perimeter. The project is currently in the planning and design review phase, with design documents issued through June 2026. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and trades to engage before final bids and permits are issued. Work will likely involve site clearing, grading, concrete, synthetic turf installation, fencing, and potentially utility work related to field lighting. Local businesses specializing in sports facility construction, site preparation, concrete, synthetic turf, and fencing could find opportunities by connecting with the project team now.
