The City is interested in installing new natural grass playing surfaces at the baseball/softball and football/soccer playing fields at Howard Coffin Park in Brunswick. There are four (4) baseball/softball fields located in the northern portion of the park. The football/soccer fields are located in the southern portion of the park. The baseball/softball fields currently consist of grassed outfield areas and dirt infields. The outfield areas are a mixture of Bermuda grass overtaken by various weeds. The City is interested in removing the existing outfield grass and replacing it with TifTuf Bermuda field sod. Some grading will be necessary in order to remove the "lip" at the perimeter of the infield areas, and additional minor grading may be necessary to help promote positive drainage throughout each field. Soil amendments may be necessary in order to help promote field drainage and/or growth of the field turf. Each field is currently equipped with an irrigation system. The "competition" soccer field currently consists of Bermuda turf and an existing irrigation system. The city wishes to replace the current field turf with TifTuf Bermuda field sod. Field grading will be necessary in order to improve drainage conditions in the southeast corner of the field and to remove minor surface irregularities. Soil amendments may be necessary to promote drainage and/or growth of the field turf. The "practice" soccer/football fields are currently in poor shape regarding the field turf. An existing irrigation system covers the northern half of the area, and the southern portion is not irrigated. The City wishes to expand the irrigation system to cover the entire practice field area (as shown on the attached maps). Some field grading will be required in order to remove significant surface irregularities as well as improve drainage conditions. Soil amendments may also be necessary to improve drainage and turf growing conditions. This project will include soil analysis to determine a need for any type of soil amendments. The scope will also include expansion of the irrigation system to cover the southern portion of the soccer practice fields. Removal of the existing field grasses as well as field grading and addition of soil amendments (if necessary) are included in the scope along with installation of new TifTuf Bermuda sod. o Removal of existing grass and ground cover on all playing fields; o Soil amendments if determined necessary; o Grading and surface preparation of field areas; o Grading and drainage improvements at soccer field; o Installation of irrigation system expansion at soccer practice field; o Installation of new turf on all playing fields The City reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive informalities in, or reject any or all Proposals, or to accept any Proposal deemed most favorable in the interest of the City, or cancel the competition at any time without award.
