The Park District will not accept changes to bids based on a bidder's mistake of fact which could have been corrected prior to submitting a bid. 1) Correct the pitch of the field. Currently, much of the infield slopes toward home plate. The renovated field will be crowned to have water shed toward sidelines and outfield as well. Grades may need to be raised up four inches across the infield to achieve this goal. 2) The existing turf areas of the infield and sidelines will need to have sod stripped, be rototilled and pulverized topsoil brought in to establish a proper grade. The sideline areas along first and third base line will be returned to grass and therefore will need to be re-sodded with a District approved athletic field type sod. (See Appendix A) 3) The infield will be converted to a "skinned" infield and will therefore be brought up to grade, but not sodded in. 4) The top two (minimum) to three inches of the finished field infield mix will be that of MarCo Clay Washington Mix. Geneva Park District will supply six semi loads of this material to be delivered to the site. 5) Existing ball field infield mix may be used as a sub base for the Washington Mix. 6) The outfield/infield arc radius will be brought into standard for an 80' field. This may require removing or adding sod as necessary
