Golden Eagle Regional Park was originally completed in April 2008.  Since completion the park has seen extensive programming and use of all the athletic fields, which now require replacement or significant maintenance as a result.  To access the fields for maintenance or replacement, contractors and maintenance personnel are required to drive over the natural turf in order to access the fields, which damages the ground and creates additional repair work, driving up the cost of turf maintenance, repair and replacement. 

City staff determined that the cost of future replacement and maintenance access could be reduced by installing a permanent turf stone paver (allows for topsoil and seed in hollow cells) over aggregate base that would allow permanent access to and from the fields without causing damage to the existing natural turf.  Using the turf stone paver should also minimize or negate any changes required for the existing irrigation system.

The City of Sparks received three (3) qualified quotes for this project and were received June 27, 2019 by 4:00 p.m.  The quote received from Garden Shop Nursery Landscaping was the lowest responsive quote in the amount of $59,121.20.  A location map, full summary of the quotes received, and the contract is attached for review by the council.

A summary of the qualified quotes is shown below:
