DISCUSSION:
The artificial turf fields at Ralph M. Lewis Sports Park were last replaced in 2015. Since then, the original 8-year warranty period has expired, and they are nearing the end of their expected service life.
On July 22, 2025, the City Council approved the purchase of new replacement artificial turf materials for fields 1 & 2 at Ralph M. Lewis Sports Park. The installation of those materials requires a competitive process. This contract (PW-26-36-SB) is for the labor and installation of those materials and includes the removal and proper disposal of the existing artificial turf. These fields are scheduled to be replaced in early 2026 to avoid conflicts with scheduled games.
