Background/Justification:
Based upon both the manufacturer and consultant recommendation, the “carpet” portion of this turf is due to be replaced.  There are tears and splitting in the field at the seams that have become a tripping/safety hazard.  There are also problems with the stitching at the yard line markers, out of bound lines and at the numbers.  In addition, the turf is matted down resulting in a loss of resilience. 

The costs involved in this work include:

• Removal & disposal of existing turf/“carpet”
• 85,000 SF of new turf/“carpet” including markings & logo
• Repair of the subsurface E layer from damage during carpet removal
• Repair to stone base also resulting from the carpet removal
  
  Final cost will also be contingent on the type of replacement turf/carpet.
