    PROJECT: Tricycle Track (Itty Bitty City) Pad and Slab Construction

    LOCATION: Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) Campus, 1400 E. Forest Street, Bolivar, MO

    1. PROJECT OVERVIEW The Bolivar R-1 School District is seeking quotes from qualified concrete and construction contractors for the installation of a 60' x 60' concrete pad at the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC). The selected contractor will be responsible for full site preparation, concrete pouring, and final site restoration to deliver a turnkey finished product.

    2. SCOPE OF WORK & TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The exact location for the installation on the ECLC campus has been pinpointed and will be shown to bidders upon site visit. The contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete the following:

    • Dimensions: The finished concrete slab will measure approximately 60' x 60'.
    • Base Preparation: The contractor must build a leveled, foundational pad utilizing clay.
    • Concrete Slab: A 4” concrete slab, reinforced with 6x6x1.4x1.4 welded wire mesh, poured on a minimum of 4” compacted base rock - and finished directly on top of the prepared clay base.
    • Site Restoration and Landscaping: Upon completion of the concrete work, the contractor must restore the surrounding site. The contractor must backfill the perimeter of the new slab with black dirt, grading it to transition smoothly into the existing surrounding grade. The freshly laid dirt must be fully sowed with grass seed and covered with straw to protect the seed and promote growth.

    3. TIMELINE & INVOICING CONSTRAINTS Time is of the essence for this project, which is on a strict timeline. The entirety of the project must be fully completed and billed to the district before June 30, 2026, which is the end of the District’s current fiscal year.
