PUBLIC WORKS 
 
 
We are requesting the balance of appropriated funds in the amount of $78,756.62 be approved as 
contingency for the project.  This represents 5/5% of the total project cost, which is well within the general 
percentage of construction allocated for project contingency.   
 
The proposal from Baseline is attached. 
 
Product Information and Installation Process 
The project will be completed in two phases.  The initial phase will begin as soon as possible and will 
address the drainage issues in the outfield of field four.  The ideal scenario is for this work to be done while 
grass is still actively growing so dist urbed areas will be covered by grass before it goes dormant for the 
winter.  The remainder of the project will begin about the fourth week of October, which is immediately 
after the end of the current softball season.  Construction should be completed by the end of February so 
that the March league can begin play as normally scheduled. 
 
The turf to be utilized on the fields is TRUHOP 46 which is manufactured in Georgia by S HAW Sports 
Turf.  The color will be very similar to the color of the infield clay mix currently in use on all fields.  This 
specific product has been used at numerous facilities nationwide including: 
• Dunedin Park (Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training Facility) – Dunedin, Florida 
• Bear River Sports Complex – Loleta, Georgia 
• Cedar Stone Park – Smyrna, Tennessee 
• Riverdale High School – Murfreesboro, Tennessee 
 
A product specification sheet is attached.
