Site work and renovation of a playground / park / athletic field in Mandeville, Louisiana. Completed plans call for the renovation of a playground / park / athletic field.

Installation of artificial turf infields at the Pelican Park Blue Complex. SUMMARY It shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to verify measurements of the installation areas as well as to provide all labor, materials, equipment, tools expertise, and supervision necessary for the complete installation of a vertical-to-horizontally draining synthetic turf system. Project work is defined by the Contract Documents (i.e. construction drawings and specifications) and consists of, but is not limited to, the following items: The project consists of converting the existing natural turf within the limits of the infields of baseball Blue fields 1-3 including underground drainage, structural base, shock pad, non infill turf synthetic turf (base bid), with field striping for baseball as per construction drawings and specifications. 1.0 Baseball Fields 1-3 1.1 Locate and secure clearance for all project specific utilities. It is solely the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to repair damaged utilities. The elevations for the athletic fields are shown on the attached drawings. The grading plan accompanying these drawings shall be followed to ensure positive drainage flow. The CONTRACTOR shall bear the responsibility of verifying these elevations. All surveying for field placement and layout is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. Remove and dispose of existing natural grass turf layer in the infields and any other material deemed undesirable as per construction drawings and specifications. Relocate existing irrigation controls and lines such that the irrigation can still be utilized to irrigate the natural grass outfield areas. Install new additional underground field drainage, as per construction drawings and specifications. Existing active underground field drainage is to be preserved, but where there is a conflict, the existing drainage system is to be tied into new drainage system, with modifications, as per construction drawings and specifications. Excavate to depth required to accommodate required cross-section, slope, and finish grades. Contour, slope, rough grade, and compact remaining sub-base to required subgrade, within limits of infields, to specified grades, as per construction drawings and specifications prior to installing specified structural base. In areas of the existing baseball and softball field designated to receive new synthetic turf, the contractor shall choose one of the following Concrete Base Options and install as part of the base bid. The selected concrete base forms the structural base to support the new drainage/shock pad and synthetic turf playing field: 1.9.1 Structural Grid Option: Contractor shall install a 1-5/8" deep structural base using an interlocking 40-millimeter deep polyolefin, steel or aluminum grid filled with 3,000-psi concrete. Grid shall be a maximum of 6 inches across. 1.9.2 Fiber mesh Concrete Option: Contractor shall install 3.5 inches of 3,000-psi concrete with 3lbs FiberForce 750 mesh additive or 3 lbs or other approved equal structural fiber equivalent. Saw cut joints shall be cut in as necessary. 1.9.3 Wire mesh Concrete Option: Contractor shall install 3.5 inches of 3,000-psi concrete with 10-gauge welded wire mesh. Keyway joints at 15 ft. on center shall be installed in one direction. Saw cut joints shall be cut at 15 ft. on center in the perpendicular direction. A synthetic turf anchor system encompassing the perimeter of areas receiving new synthetic turf is required to anchor the perimeter of the new synthetic turf. The anchor system shall be existing, or new, "poured in place" concrete curbing or structure; or the anchor system can be constructed with new UC4B pressure treated nailer boards and stakes to match the finish grade of the concrete base as specified in the construction drawings. On areas that do not have a concrete curb, the new UC4B pressure treated nailer board will be anchored with new UC4B pressure treated stakes, approved for ground contact, as per the Edge Detail ~ Turf Installation with Transition to Natural Grass shown in the construction drawings and specifications. Install the perimeter collector trenches and tie in as shown on the construction drawings. Furnish and install shock pad/drainage blanket system that meets the performance requirements of the pre-approved products detailed below. Install non-infill synthetic turf system tufted to a maximum 1.25-inch height, having 100% polyethylene fibers with a dimensionally stable primary backing that meets the performance requirement as detailed herein. Install all tufted and inlaid lines and markings as shown in the final approved plan, and on synthetic turf system spec. Install home plates on all fields. Home plates on the fields are to be installed and anchored into the structural base of the field with metal ground anchor(s). Install double 1st base anchors for baseball at distances 60, 65, and 70 feet distances 1.19 Install 2B and 3B base anchors for baseball at distances 60, 65, and 70 feet distances. Install anchors for softball pitching rubber. 1.20 During turf installation work, appropriate load bearing matting must be installed across sidewalks and used for transportation of materials and equipment to and from the baseball fields to prevent damage to the sidewalk concrete. Install natural, non-silica cooling additive or other approved equal. Clean site per owner's instructions and dispose of any unwanted materials. Install a 15' feathered strip of Bermuda blend sod from the transition area of the arc of the new synthetic turf to tie back into existing outfield grass. 1.24 Repair any damage to areas, including parking lots, staging areas, outfield grass or utility lines, or other that may have occurred and restore the site to pre-project conditions. Bonds: 5% Bid Bond, Certified Check required, 100% Performance Bond, 100% Payment Bond.
