6.C. - Page 2 of 4 ANALYSIS On January 14, 2019, the City Council awarded the construction contract for the 2018 Hoover Field Synthetic Turf Replacement Project to Fieldturf USA, Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the amount of $1,628,889.02. Approximately 197,500 square feet of aging synthetic turf was replaced with a more durable 2" synthetic turf with a sand and cork infill system. A brand new 1" thick PowerBase base pad was installed under the synthetic turf field, improving the shock absorbance as well as the site drainage. The new system also gives a longer life to the field, with an increased warranty period of 10 years instead of previous systems that only had a warranty for 8 years. Additional improvements included: demolition of the old turf field/infill, grading, site furnishings, and maintenance of the synthetic turf. The project location map is in Attachment A. Construction was completed in July 2019. Zero change orders were reconciled. The project has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications for a total cost of $1,628,889.02 which is the original contract amount. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for this project were approved and appropriated through the City of Redwood City's adopted FY 2018-2019 Capital Improvement Projects and Parks Impact Fees Synthetic Play Fields Conversion fund. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. On January 14, 2019, the City Council determined when it awarded the contract that the project was exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) because the project would repair subsurface stabilization and drainage problems with the replacement of existing synthetic turf with similar materials. The Project would not expand the use of the playfields to be repaired. Furthermore, this project was designed to be compliant with the City's Engineering Standards and currently accepted practices.
