UMDAR Turf Protection

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is seeking a qualified vendor to provide temporary turf‑protection solutions for its annual commencement ceremonies held on Cressy Field. The scope includes rental of heavy‑duty drivable flooring (≈21,000 sq ft) and pedestrian‑grade protection (≈3,600 sq ft), installation of ADA‑compliant transition ramps, on‑site maintenance during the event, and complete removal and site restoration after the ceremony. The contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, three‑year base term with two optional one‑year extensions, and the vendor must supply all equipment, freight, labor, insurance, and related services. • Provide and install drivable and pedestrian temporary flooring systems that protect natural turf and support staging, equipment, and audience traffic. • Deliver, install, and secure flooring; provide transition ramps, perform event‑day maintenance, and remove all materials, restoring the field to its original condition. • Submit a lump‑sum price for Years 1‑3 (and cost‑per‑square‑foot for any area changes), with price‑escalation caps for optional Years 4‑5, and meet all insurance, safety, and ADA requirements.
