Pre-RFPParks & RecreationDetected May 19, 2026

The Village of Calumet Downtown Development Authority received a proposal to help fund the Agassiz Park Pavilion Bathroom Renovation Project. Scope includes new epoxy flooring, drywall repair and replacement, painting and interior finishes, installation of new fixtures and accessories, replacement of partition walls, and general interior rehabilitation, with a contractor quote of 14400 for the interior work. The DDA is being asked to contribute 12500 from its Public Spaces & Improvements budget, which is 25000 for FY 2027, indicating the project is in early funding and planning rather than under contract.This is a relevant lead for contractors, designers, and materials suppliers because the detailed scope is defined and funding is being aligned, but no award or contract approval is recorded in the document. Vendors could position themselves for the renovation contract or related upgrades (plumbing, accessibility, exterior improvements) as the DDA finalizes participation and timing.

Copper Country Carpentry LLC provided the 14400 quote, with materials cost noted as 9000; the DDA contribution requested is 12500, suggesting other sources for the balance.

Pre-RFP

The committee planned to mark up Section F of the park's 5-year plan and note obsolete items. The agenda also mentioned coordination with SWMPC on the Park Plan. This is an open planning signal for park capital and programming priorities, not a procurement yet. A seller should watch for which projects survive the plan update and when they move into funded work.

Pre-RFP

At its August 20, 2026 meeting, the board heard a request to upgrade the existing pickleball court at Crystal Lake Park or add 1 or 2 new courts. The request said the court is badly cracked and needs repair. The group said it would look for federal grants and private donations and did not expect to ask the town for funding. This is an open planning signal tied to park improvements and future funding.

Public Updates

The committee reviewed supporting documentation for the Independence Park study project. The item is a project update rather than a new procurement, but it confirms an active park-related study under the CPA program. This can matter to firms that support park planning, design, or implementation if follow-on work is still ahead.
