Construction Of New Tennis Courts In Spencer Could Get Underway Soon

April 07, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Spencer)– The construction of some new tennis courts in Spencer could be getting underway soon.

The City Council earlier this week awarded a bid for the joint project with the Spencer Community School District. The new courts will constructed near the middle school, on East 15th Street. The council awarded the project to PCC Sports out of Missouri, which submitted the low bid of a little more than $529,000. It was one of three companies to submit a bid.

Jim Thiesse, an engineer overseeing the project, says the company will be able to perform all aspects of the project…

“That’s, you know, exactly what we’re looking for: somebody with a lot of experience. They self-perform all of the work. In other words, they set up the concrete, pour the concrete, finish the concrete, put on the special surfacing, the playing surface, and they erect the fence themselves, so. They do it all and in pretty quick order.”

He says work on the project could start as soon as May or June. The new tennis courts will replace the existing ones at Fairview Park.
