Description:
SOFTBALL FIELD ARTIFICIAL TURF
We are requesting the Board to approve using AstroTurf Great Lakes to replace the artificial turf at the softball field. The bid for this project was done by Sourcewell, which is a local government service cooperative in Minnesota. Our Board policy states we may use MiDeal, which is a Michigan cooperative. After discussion with our attorney and Sourcewell, we believe the cooperative has followed the necessary laws to solicit, evaluate, and award cooperative purchasing contracts to satisfy Michigan requirements, and are asking the Board to approve this purchase. The replacement cost for the softball field turf is not to exceed $387,000 and will be funded through the sinking fund. The project is scheduled to begin in late September or early October, with completion expected by mid-October. The field, originally donated in 2015, has now been in use for 10 seasons, including use during many community tournaments. Given that artificial turf typically has a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, the field is now due for replacement. |
