9-SPENCE ECCLES OCSC SYNTHETIC TURF PROJECT - 2026-01-28.pdf

This is a Project Description document for the Spence Eccles Olympic Oval Skating Center (OCSC) Synthetic Turf Project prepared by the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management on behalf of the Salt Lake City School District (OSD). The project encompasses the replacement of existing artificial turf fields at three locations and the conversion of natural grass to artificial turf at two elementary school playgrounds. The scope includes site preparation, removal of existing turf systems, installation of synthetic turf or equivalent or better quality materials, and associated drainage and base preparation work across the five designated locations. The document outlines project specifications, site conditions, and technical requirements for contractors to execute the turf replacement and conversion work as detailed in RFP26-006.

The project is funded through the Salt Lake City School District's capital improvement budget and facilities replacement program. The document establishes technical standards and performance expectations for synthetic turf materials, requiring products that meet or exceed specified quality metrics for durability, safety, and athletic performance. Contractors must demonstrate capability to manage multiple site locations simultaneously while maintaining project timelines and quality standards. The file provides detailed information on existing field conditions, drainage requirements, and site-specific considerations necessary for contractors to prepare accurate bids and project schedules. Site visits and bidder coordination are expected to occur prior to proposal submission to ensure all interested contractors have adequate information to develop competitive and qualified responses.
