INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council approve the Plans
and Specifications for the Petrakis Field Infield Turf Replacement Project.
DISCUSSION
The FY 2009 C.I.P. budget contains $230,000 to replace the infield turf of Petrakis Field
with an artificial turf. Loras College approached the City with this project and agrees to
pay half the cost.
Loras College has placed Field Turf, a type of artificial turf on its football field and has
been very pleased with the results. This type of turf is also being used on many
baseball fields and almost eliminates rain-out games. Field Turf is a more consistent
playing surface and requires much less daily maintenance than the present surface.
The estimated project costs are as follows:
Construction contract $ 190,000
Contingency $ 20,000
Engineering $ 20,000
Total $ 230,000
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the Plans, Specifications, Form of Contract,
and Estimated .Cost for the Petrakis Field Infield Turf Replacement Project.
ACTION STEP
The action requested is that the City Council approve the Plans and Specifications for
the Petrakis Field Infield Turf Replacement Project.
