Grass field and track completed in 1999-2000
Lots of use – difficult to maintain growth and safe
surface
High maintenance
Limited drainage and inlets create issues for players
Trend of high schools and colleges to move towards
safer and easier to maintain synthetic grass surfaces
Track is also in great shape, but surface is wearing
and in need of recoating
Studied turf replacement and associated costs
Based costs on Fieldturf® system
Artificial turf has associated drainage issues and
drainage modifications
Some systems better than others to solve those
issues
Additional items for Board consideration
Need for ticket booth, team rooms and scorer’s table
Wearing surface of track is 15 years old
Field Replacement Portion is Estimated at $1.475M Summarized as Follows:
General Removal, Bulk Excavation and Under-Drainage $522,555
Artificial turf surface, lines, logos and grooming equipment $679,076
Contingency $110,000

Transportation will not have to transport the following teams to off campus sites for games and practices: Boys/Girls Soccer
Field Hockey
Boys/Girls Lacrosse
Annual savings in transportation for the school district is $4,800 to $5,300 annually depending upon whether or not athletic teams qualify for the playoffs/ post-season.

local /EPC site charges
Maximum public annual hours- (6/1/14 - 5/3/15 )

Actual revenue estimate is $40,00.00-$50,000/year
Estimated gate for field hockey, soccer and lacrosse is
$2,240/year ( after event worker costs)
Based on the available evidence, it appears that the potential and risk for injury is not increased and that some types of injuries might actually be reduced by using the new FieldTurf type surfaces. Findings from a peer-reviewed studied published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine found:
• 7% fewer injuries• 3% fewer minor injuries• 19% fewer substantial injuries• 22% fewer severe injuries• 10% less injury during inclement weather (rain, snow, sleet)• 42% less injury during no precipitation, wet field conditions• 24% lower incidence of injury during games played under hot
weather conditions
Current trend
P0sitive c0ntribution to the environment
Community and regional usage (more revenue)
Optimal Energy Return
Natural Ball Performance
8 year warranty
Likely 12 to 15 years before resurfacing
Timing and approvals required
NPDES Permit 5 months
Assuming total project time 16 weeks
Excavation to subgrade, drainage modifications,
stone infill, field drainage and turf install, track
resurface and team rooms
June 1, 2015 to mid-September
Essential to engage the right civil designer/field
system to mitigate unnecessary storm drainage
system costs
1. Fiber – turf fibers
are responsible for
comfort and safety
of the player. Fibers
reduce skin friction,
skin abrasion and offer durability.
2. Infill – Provides cushioning to absorb impact as well
as offering traction.
3. Backing – Primary and secondary backing work
together to provide stability to the entire system.
NPDES permitting will be lengthy. GO/NO GO decision
important now or we’ll miss next summer’s construction
opportunity.
Choice of engineering firm/turf system important for above
All of the leading systems are competitively priced and
system may be available for direct purchase via program
similar to Co-Stars program i.e. competitively bid (needs
verification)
FieldTurf does appear to have a lot of advantages
Site contract would be conventionally bid
Safety, long term maintenance and expanded usage
(increased revenue) benefits are significant.
