Stafford County will contract with the company FieldTurf to replace the synthetic turf on two athletic fields in Smith Lake Park which is located in North Stafford.
Why it matters: After 11 years of continuous use by youth and adult sports organization the turf has to be replaced.
- Synthetic turf is more durable than natural turf so it can be used all year round.
- The two fields are multi-purpose and are used by several different local teams from Stafford and abroad that play football, soccer, lacrosse, and rugby.
The board approved a total of $832,000 to be spent on the project.
- No completion date for the fields has been announced.
The county used the Keystone Purchasing Network (KPN) in search of the best deal.
- KPN helps to find cost-effective bids on projects for school districts and other public agencies.
- The winning bidder for the contract is FieldTurf USA Inc. (FieldTurf), a Montreal-based business with U.S. office in San Diego.
The contract with FieldTurf is valid until Feb. 28, 2020.
