How to bid on pickleball court construction for the Town of Hingham
What Hingham is buying
The Town of Hingham is seeking a contractor to build eight pickleball courts at Carlson Field Athletic Complex at Bare Cove Park Drive. The work includes site clearing and grading, courts and amenities, fencing and sound attenuation, a new asphalt parking lot, ADA pathways, and maintaining erosion controls and construction fencing.
The estimated construction cost is $1,300,000. This opportunity may suit firms with experience in site preparation and athletic or recreational facility construction.
Deadline and bid timing
Bids are due October 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET. The solicitation calls for sealed bids; plan to complete and submit your response through OpenGov before the deadline.
The Town has awarded the Building 12 demolition contract to Pasquazzi Bros, Inc. The pickleball contractor must coordinate with the Town and the demolition contractor before construction.
Who this opportunity may suit
This project is relevant to construction contractors able to manage site clearing, grading, paving, court installation, fencing, amenities, and ADA pathways. Firms should also be prepared to maintain erosion controls and construction fencing throughout the project.
Because coordination with the Town and the demolition contractor is part of the work, consider whether your team can plan and communicate effectively around another contractor’s activities.
How to access and respond
Open the opportunity on OpenGov Procurement using the “View original source” access step. OpenGov may show a brief “just a moment” security check on your first visit; wait for it to finish so the project page loads.

Prepare a complete, competitive response
Review the plans and solicitation materials carefully, then build your estimate around the listed work: removals, grading, courts, amenities, fencing and sound attenuation, parking, ADA pathways, and erosion-control and construction-fence maintenance. Make sure your response addresses the full project rather than only the court surfaces.
Plan how your team will coordinate with the Town and demolition contractor, including the existing construction fence and erosion controls. Check OpenGov for addenda and answers to vendor questions, and leave time to review your response and submit it before the deadline.
