Page 2 of 4 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org Mitchell Field is one of three soccer fields within Red Morton Park. Its synthetic turf was last replaced in 2015. Over time, the turf infill broke down, impacting both the safety and playability of the field. As part of the recent improvements, the turf’s field was replaced, and the nearby softball infield (previously a clay surface) was converted to synthetic turf in order to provide full accessibility for all users. Fair Oaks Field is a stand-alone soccer field located at Fair Oaks school, in unincorporated San Mateo County, along the City’s eastern border. Its synthetic turf surface was replaced in 2012 and has since reached the end of its useful life. As part of the PRCS turf replacement program, staff coordinated turf replacement for both fields and converted the infield at Mitchell to synthetic turf. This project created a uniform surface between the soccer and softball fields, making the infield fully accessible to all users. The project was competitively bid in April 2025. Two bids were received. On May 19, 2025, the City Council awarded the Mitchell & Fair Oaks Field Synthetic Turf Replacement Project to FieldTurf USA, Inc. in the amount of $2,198,996 with authorization for up to 10 percent contingency for a not-to-exceed total in the amount of $2,418,896. ANALYSIS The project was awarded with City Manager authorization to increase the contract amount up to 10 percent contingency to address any unforeseen conditions or changes necessary during construction. Staff issued three change orders during construction due to unknown utilities located within the infield area at Mitchell Field. Construction began in June 2025 and was fully completed in November 2025. Staff worked with the project consultants to ensure all permit compliance and documentation were handled successfully. Three change orders were approved during construction. Change Orders #1 and #2 addressed utilities discovered under the Mitchell softball infield and repaired additional deteriorated conditions found under the turf fields. Change Order #3 credited the City for work that did not end up being required. Combined, these change orders were within the authorized contract contingency amount. The City Engineer has determined the improvements outlined by the project plans and specifications meet City standards, approved permit requirements, and are complete in acceptable condition for final acceptance and close-out. Therefore, staff recommends acceptance of the project, filing a notice of completion and verification form, and final release of all bonds and retention. 7.A. - Page 2 of 4 9
