Mark Roussel is the construction manager for this project. Mark has completed more than 15,000,000 square
feet of base construction in the artificial turf industry.
1 JDR Enterprises, Inc is located at 292 South Main Street, Suite 200 in Alpharetta,GA 30009. JDR is the
manufacturer for our GeoFlo dynamic shock pad to be used by GeoSurfaces on this project.
GrassRoots Manufacturing Services, Inc located in Ellijay, GA is the manufacturer for our GeoGreen replicated
grass system.
4. Approach/Methodology
1 The approach and methodology written in the RFP closely resembles the model of construction we follow. We
do not build an artificial field that does not incorporate a shock pad. With a litigious society, it is our philosophy
to limit the liability of not only our company but also our clients. A field without a shock pad increases the risk
1 of the constructor and the owner by increasing the impact attenuation characteristics of the playing surface. By
incorporating our PATENTED shock pad technology we can guarantee that the impact ratings of the field never
approach the minimum guidelines set by governing bodies.
Our construction approach is very similar to the specifications provided in this REP. We are interested in being
the selected General Contractor on this project due to the similarities in the specified design and our patented,
proven way of constructing and installing shock pad/artificial turf surfaces. With our experience in the shock
pad industry and our proven know how, meeting the time line for the completion of the project is not a concern.

IIL INSTALLATION
1 A. BASE CONSTRUCTION—TURF INSTALLATION:
1 Specific design criteria must include the following:
I) The sub-base must slope a minimum of 1/2%(to a maximum of 1%)to the collector drains.
1 2) After sub-base has been properly graded, contoured and sloped as required, it shall be compacted using a three to ten ton
vibratory roller, as close as possible to 95% Proctor Density.
3) Additional stone, cement or recycled materials may be installed as is necessary to attain specified finished grade
1 tolerances. Such materials should be compactable enough to provide a stable grade for installation of the turf and fine
enough to allow for specified grade tolerance. These additional materials shall be graded to 1/4 inch in 10 feet tolerance,
and compacted.
1 4) Finish grading equipment should consist of dual-plane laser-actuated box grader or small mini-grader. Large road
graders can be used but are not recommended in all situations. Grading equipment that is not hydraulically-actuated by
laser is also not recommended.
1 5) A minimum 6-inch wide x 12-inch deep concrete curb shall be excavated at the precise perimeter of the synthetic grass
installation area. The curb shall be constructed with concrete (min. 3000 psi) to a uniform specified grade with a grade
tolerance of no more than %.' grade deviation under a 10 foot straight edge. After cure time, a 1.25 inch x 4 inch treated
1 nailer shall be installed to specific perimeter line, by ramset or TapCon, to the newly installed and/or existing concrete
anchor. The finished grade of the nailer shall match the perimeter-finished grade of the aggregate base.
1 6) To the inside of the concrete anchor a trench drain shall be installed. The trench drains shall contain flexible, perforated
pipe as shown in the engineered design and shall be filled with '/."/." inch clean, fractured stone as is typical. Drains
shall be properly graded to insure positive flow of water to outflow. The drains shall be tied in to the existing outflow
drains.
1 B. GEOFLO SHOCK PAD AND DYNAMIC DRAINAGE BLANKET INSTALLATION:
I) Global will use an electronic or staked grade grid, of not more than 25 feet separation, to establish finished grade of
1 stone base, before installing the GeoFlo blanket. Stone base should not deviate from specified finish grade by more than
1/4 inch under ten feet straight edge.
1 2) Blanket will be installed along full end-to-end length of the field, perpendicular to the direction of slope. The 4 feet or 8
feet wide rows should be installed starting at the crown (or highest grade elevation) and 'shingled' toward the lowest
grade elevation (the protruding flange will be placed on the highest elevation side, and the flanged edge of the
subsequent roll will be inserted completely under the un-flanged edge of the preceding row). The installation of the rows
1 of GeoFlo will continue in this manner until over the open stone of the perimeter collector drains,where a 2'wide row of
pervious (perforated) GeoFlo will be placed, in the same manner. The GeoFlo row nearest the collector drain will be
trimmed in width(from the un-flanged edge)to allow precise fit of a 2 feet wide pervious GeoFlo,to anchorage line. The
1 rows of GeoFlo will be bonded and moisture sealed, using a pressure-sensitive tape or Not Melt Glue, as supplied by
Global, on all seams. All seams will be sufficiently tight to leave no gaps or irregularities that could reflect through the
synthetic grass surface, however, care should be taken to maintain a minimum 1/4 inch separation to allow for thermal
expansion. The drainage blanket may be temporarily held in place by stapling to wood nailer,even' few feet.

3) The flanged edge of a GeoFlo roll must always butt with an un-flanged edge. Where two flanged edges meet due to slope
transitions. such as at the crown of the field,one flange edge must be trimmed and removed to prevent a gap in the plane
of the GeoFlo surface.
4) The GeoFlo will consist of a high density, cupsated core, covered with a needle punched non-woven geotextile on the
top.
5) Total weight of blanket will be a minimum of 24 oz./sv and capable of accepting a compressive load of 20,000 psi,
without crushing and while maintaining measurable flow.
6) The GeoFlo will have a core incorporating expansion joints every 4 feet. The shock pad and drainage blanket so
constructed, must provide a complete underlayment, over the entire field area, when mechanically bound with
mechanical tape: and must not wrinkle, wave. float,buckle or otherwise disturb the planarity of the artificial turf surface,
even under the most elevated conditions for thermal expansion to be experienced at the site.
7) The thickness of the blanket will be a minimum of 0.5 inch.
C. REPLICATED GRASS INSTALLATION:
1 I) The replicated grass will be installed along the length of the field and cover the full width as shown in the engineering
drawings. The carpet rolls are to be installed directly over the properly prepared dynamic drainage blanket base. Extreme
care should be taken to avoid disturbing the shock pad. The full width rolls shall be laid out across the field. Utilizing
standard state-of-the-art bonding procedures, each roll shall be attached to the next. When all of the rolls of the playing
surface have been installed. the sideline areas shall be installed at right angles to the playing field turf. Turf shall be
attached,by industrial rustproof staples directly to wood nailer,around perimeter of field at maximum three-inch(3 inch)
intervals.
2) The replicated grass rolls shall be installed so that tufted lines are placed as shown on manufacturer's drawing, which
drawing shall be pre-approved by Purchaser prior to manufacture of replicated grass. The same drawing shall also show
' location of all optional in situ permanent lines or markings.
3) Immediately after brushing with a motorized rotary nylon broom, the blended infill material shall be spread evenly by
using a drop or broadcast spreader(minimum 5 foot wide), in multiple applications, each no more than 15% of the total
application, at a uniform rate. Between applications, and just prior and subsequent to infilling the area shall be brushed
with the motorized broom. Infill depth will be I inch (1.0°+/- 0.1'), infill material to be uniformly incorporated into the
replicated grass system.
PROJECT CLOSEOUT/WARRANTY: Upon final acceptance or first use of the finished sports field (whichever occurs
' first)the Geo-Surfaces Warranty becomes effective,which warranty shall be the only warranty obligation by Geo-Surfaces to
the Owner.

use and care of GeoGreen and GeoTrax turf products.
Protecting Your Surface:
KEEP IT CLEAN. The following maintenance precautions are necessary to protect the GeoGreen or
GeoTrax surface from damage:
Control access to field
• Keep your surface free of litter, mud and debris.
Post signs prohibiting smoking and carrying food or drink onto the field.
Restrict the use of motorized vehicles on the surface; only vehicles properly wheeled and
weighted should be allowed.
Repair minor damage promptly.
Cleaning and Stain Removal:
General:
Rain is the best cleanser. Rainfall gently cleans the GeoGreen and GeoTrax fibers of dust, pollen and
airborne pollutants in a way that is difficult to duplicate. In areas where rainfall is scarce - or during
prolonged periods of drought - an occasional watering is beneficial to cleanse the artificial surface.

' Listed below are the required precautionary maintenance practices:
Keep trash and litter containers on site.
' > Route field access traffic in such a way to minimize mud/dirt tracking on the field.
Set up drinks for athletes during practice breaks off the field if possible.
Enforce a smoke free environment and discourage the use of chewing tobacco.
Set up drinks during games, when possible, on tables made of exterior grade plywood.
Litter Removal:
Light trash (paper, peanut shells, sunflower seeds, athletic tape etc.) and airborne dust can be removed
easily with a lawn sweeper or a motorized vacuum.
When using machines, several points should be observed:
Brush Type:
The sweeper should have synthetic fiber bristles such as nylon or polypropylene. The minimum
' brush length should be 2. 5 ". The maximum bristle diameter should be .030 ". The br sh must
con ain no meti1 or wire; Metal fibers can fall out and cause injuries to players and can also
damage the surface.
Brush Setting:
The brush setting should be monitored. The actual setting will of course depend on the model
and type of sweeper. Set the brush so that it barely touches the tips of the fibers of the turf.
DO NOT SET THE BRUSH SO LOW THAT IT DIGS INTO THE TURF PILE OR
BACKING. Too low a setting will damage the turf. Vacuum cleaners are not recommended for
removing mud.
Contact your Geo-Surfaces representative if you have any questions about the type of machine to use or
brush settings.
Temperature Limitations:
Never use a motorized vacuum sweeper during the heat of the day if the ambient temperature
exceeds 90 degrees F.
Turf Loading Limitations:
Brushing and brush cleaning may require several trips over the field to finish the operation. Any
sweeper that weighs more than 300 lbs. should have pneumatic tires with a maximum tire
pressure of 35 pounds per square inch (psi). Do not park vehicles on the turf, especially in the
heat of the day, or leave vehicles on wet turf for extended periods of time.

1 Exhaust Fumes:
1 The type of fuel or power used by a sweeper is of no major importance. However, if the sweeper has an internal
combustion engine,make certain that the hot engine exhaust is not discharged down toward the playing surface. Hot
objects can damage the field and engine exhaust may soil it. Check to make sure that the sweeper is designed in such
a way that a hot muffler or exhaust pipe cannot drop onto the surface.
1 Oil.Spillage, Etc.:.
1 Care should be taken to prevent lubricating oil, grease; transmission fluids, etc. from dripping or spilling on the turf
surface. Such spills can discolor the surface. Proper maintenance procedures must be observed in this regard. Batten
acid and other fluids must not be allowed on the surface. Never change or add fluids to maintenance equipment
while on the surface.
CAUTION: Because electrically powered units may not be properly grounded, do not use
1 them on wet or damp surfaces.

General Instructions:
1 GeoGreen and GeoTrax fibers are among the most stain resistant in the industry. Most "stains"
on polyethylene fields are not true "stains" but rather residue of foreign matter that must be
1 promptly and thoroughly removed.
The first rule in spot removal is promptness. It is always easier to clean up a fresh spill than one that has dried and
1 hardened. Remove any solid or paste-like deposit with a spatula or table knife. Blot up excess liquids with a thick
stack of paper towels or a dry absorbent such as"kitty litter' or Fullers Earth. Dry absorbents can then be swept or
vacuumed up.
1 Procedure:
Geo-Surfaces artificial turf has good resistance to staining. However, it is important to realize
1 they are only one part of a sophisticated system of various components designed for overall field
performance. Some cleaning agents that are safe for the fiber can be harmful to other
components of the system.
1 Cleaning agents are grouped Into the following two groups:
1 GROUP ONE:
These cleaning agents can be used in liberal amounts directly on the turf surface and should only be applied by
1 rubbing a cloth soaked in the cleaner. The following procedures should be noted:
1) A warm, mild solution of granular household detergent such as Tide or ALL in water, or
any neutral low-sud detergent that is recommended for fine fabrics. Use approximately
one teaspoon to one pint of water. This will handle most stains, as the list below
indicates.

Examples: Coffee, Tea, Cola, Grape Juice, Tomato Juice, Beer, Cocoa, Water Color, Butter
Milk Ice Cream, Margarine, Ketchup, Food Coloring, Mustard, Merthiolate
2) A three percent solution of ammonia in water for more severe cleaning problems.
(NOTE: household ammonia is three percent. Industrial aqua ammonia is 33%. Dilute
nine pans water to one pan industrial ammonia, or the available supply as
appropriate.) Thoroughly flush the surface, rinse with plenty of cold water afterwards.
3) Clean, dry absorbents such as paper towels or commercial "kitty litter" can be used for
applicable stains.
GROUP Two:
In the second group of cleaners, where agents must be applied sparing(); care must be taken to avoid penetration
into the turfftbers. These cleaners will eat away at the turf backing. The following is a list of these type cleaners
and what they are used for:
I) Mineral spirits or a grease spot-remover will be effective with stains listed below:
Examples: Asphalt, Ball-point Pen, Crayon, Shoe Polish, Cooking Oil, Floor Wax, Suntan Oil, Lipstick,
1 Motor Grease, Motor Oil, *Chewing Gum, Rubber Cleat Marks
*Chewing gum is a common hazard and can be removed by freezing. Aerosol packs of refrigerant are available from
' carpet cleaning suppliers for this propose.
2) A mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal amount of water, to neutralize animal waste.
1 Flush thoroughly with water after application.
3) A one-percent solution of hydrogen peroxide in water, to treat fungus or mold spots. Flush
' thoroughly with water after application.
4) For large oil or greasy stains, contact your representative for details.
CAUTION:Mineral Spirits and other petroleum-based solvents are flammable, therefore do not smoke
or permit open flames near where these are being used Be sure the area is well ventilated where solvent
cleaners are used For more difficult stains, it may be necessary to clean with both the detergent solution
and the dry-cleaning fluid For such stains as paint, shoe dye and model airplane glue -a commercial
carpet cleaner should be consulted.
Avoid the use of any solution containing bleach, highly caustic detergent cleaners (p11 above 9), high
Important Reminder: When trying any of cleaning solution on your surface always try it on a small
piece on the outside of the field, not a high concentration area. Let the cleaner sit for a day to make
1 certain that it doesn't destroy the surface.

Field Marking and Decoration applied by owner:
1 Some field owners like to use elaborate field decoration, including mid-field and end zone designs in
assorted colors. Others prefer the simpler approach of sharp, well-defined game markings with no
extraneous decoration. In either instance, the materials and techniques used in applying paints will
1 determine the life of the markings and the ease of removal when these need to be changed. When
marking the surface, do not apply paint too heavily, as a light application will give you good visibility
and adequate life.
1 Dry Markings:
1 Temporary markings can be applied by using the same chalk dust used for natural turf fields. In some
cases, chalk dust can be slurred with water for wet application. Chalk dust markings however, tend to
be picked up and spread by the feet of players on the field, leaving tracks in unmarked areas. Chalk
1 markings are easily washed away or spread by water. They may be obliterated by a hard rain-shower.
The only advantage for chalk markings is low cost.
Paints:
Regardless of the type of paint used and design required, best results will be obtained when paint is
1 applied to a clean, dry, dust-and-grease-free base. It is extremely important that old, degraded paint and
dirt be washed off any area that is to be repainted to achieve the best appearance and traffic resistance.
1 Geo-Surfaces has developed special tools and methods for painting, paint removal and cleaning of
synthetic surfaces. If your surface needs this type of attention, contact your representative for quotations
and scheduling. If, however, you elect to perform these operations yourself, the following guidelines
1 will assist you.
Load Limits:
1 If proper steps are taken, almost any requirement can be accommodated, but certain precautions are necessary. Protection of
the drainage blanket Of applicable)of the playing surface is especially important.
1 As a general rule, no long-term static load of more than 5 psi (500 lbs/SF), nor any transient rolling load
of more than 100 psi should be applied to any GeoGreen or GeoTrax surface (GeoFlo underpad).
Rolling loads of up to 100 psi are acceptable on an occasional basis. (The loading of a pneumatic-tired
1 vehicle is approximately equal to the air pressure in its tires.)
It is good practice to eliminate any unnecessary long-term static loads. Sheets of 1/4 inch exterior
1 plywood or pieces of 2 x 10 lumber should be used to spread major static loads and thus minimize the
risk of damage to the turf system.
1 NOTE: Under static loads, the surface should first be covered with a load spreader such as
polyethylene sheeting to keep it clean. New plywood may contain materials that will leach out and stain
the turf if it is exposed to water therefore a polypropylene barrier should be used under the plywood to
1 prevent this from happening.

Snow and Ice Management:
Snow and ice are not harmful to the GeoGreen or GeoTrax surfaces and can generally be left to melt
and run off on their own accord. Sometimes however, it becomes essential to clear away snow and ice to
permit scheduled use of the field. When this happens, we suggest leaving the snow in place until just
before game time. Doing so will minimize the risk of ice build up from cold wind blowing across a
damp snow-cleared surface. Ice removal is more difficult, especially if a heavy layer has built up
following freezing rains (see below). Two methods are used for snow removal:
' SNOW REMOVAL— Removal can usually be accomplished by motorized brushing or snow-blowing.
Geo-Surfaces does not recommend plowing*. The motorized brush can be a ride-on tractor type similar
to the Lay-Mor 6HC or multiple walk-behinds similar to the Lay-Mor 2A. In a brushing operation the
snow should be brushed to the sidelines and accumulated for collection off of the replicated grass
surface.
If snow blowers are utilized, skids should be set to keep bottom edge of blower above top of turf.
1 Collection vehicles should be limited to two axils to limit weight. Operators of collection vehicles must
be instructed in proper operation of vehicles on turf and should be restricted to straight-line operation
(no turning) while on turf.
' Brushing will allow the deepest removal of snow, since snow-blowing(or plowing) must not penetrate
below top of turf. After snow is removed, compacted residual snow remaining within the turf can be
' sprayed with bio-degradable, eco-friendly de-icer (Geo-Surfaces is not responsible for damage caused
by inappropriate chemicals applied to the turf. Contact your Geo-Surfaces' representative for approval,
before applying, if there is any question or doubt regarding the appropriateness of any product). Tractor-
type brushes have water reservoir and spray systems, which can be utilized for this purpose.
*NOTE: Plowing is not recommended because of risks associated with control of the operator.
Rubber-edge blades and light vehicles can be utilized, however, depending on the depth and moisture
content of the snow, the resistance transferred to the drive wheels of the plow will vary greatly. There is
too much risk that an operator will spin the drive wheels or that too much force will be transferred to the
turf through the drive wheels. The normal restrictions associated with driving on turf also apply. It is
unrealistic to expect operators to always practice the necessary degree of care or always have the extent
of knowledge necessary for safe and proper snow-plowing operation.
Snow Blowers:
If the snow is dry and powdery, it can be swept or blown from the field using a rotary brush or
t snow blower. Be sure that any machinery used is set so as not to dig into the turf or gouge the
surface.
If using a blower:
I) The first pass of the blower should be down the center of the field.
2) Second pass should be made at the edge of either side of the first pass and the blower must be
adjusted so that the snow is deposited in the truck.
3) The blower then continues down one side and up the other accompanied by the truck.
4) Clean off remaining snow with a mechanical broom.

Snow removal equipment may be stopped momentarily on the turf surface, but DO NOT PA • K SLi N
i UIPMENT ON THE FIELD OVERNIGHT OR FOR SEVERAL, HOURS- Tire pressure should
be below 35 psi.
Important: Keep tarps or field covers off the field in freezing weather. Tarps and covers can freeze to
the turf by means of condensation and thus can be very difficult to remove for a scheduled event.
Ice Renwval:
In some cases it will be desirable to go over the field with a lawn roller or rotary street broom to break up and sweep
away frost or ice. If the day is sunny and the frost or ice is not excessive, it tends to melt readily over synthetic
surfaces,especially with player foot traffic to aid the process.
In the event of extreme cold weather and a heavy layer of ice, there is little choice but to use
chemicals to assist in getting rid of it. Remember, any ice-melting chemical put on the field will
leave residue that may leave the turf slippery or sticky. Such residue should be washed off the
turf as soon as weather permits.
Many chemicals commonly used for ice melting (rock salt, ammonium nitrate and calcium
chloride) are irritating to human skin, corrosive to equipment or harmful to synthetic turf These
chemicals should NOT be used on the GeoGreen or GeoTrax surfaces.
The only ice-melter found to date that is safe, inexpensive and non-corrosive is.fertilizer grade urea.*
When a surface has been subjected to a freezing rain or is heavily frostcoated, thawing can be hastened by
broadcast application of pilled, fertilizer grade urea The spread rate will be determined in some measure by the
amount of ice present,but 100 pounds per 3000 square feet is a good starting point. After spreading,the urea should
be allowed to remain in place for half an hour or more to melt the ice. It should then be removed from the field
(along with the water it has picked up) with a squeegee. Urea will be less effective as the temperature drops below
10 to 12 degrees F and it is ineffective below 0 degrees F.
A thick residue of urea will be left behind after the field has been gone over with a squeegee or
' swept. In wet weather this film will make the field somewhat slippery. As soon as the danger of a
hard freeze has past, the field should be washed down with liberal amounts of water to remove
traces of the urea.
WARNING: DO NOT USE COMMON SALT, ROCK SALT, CALCIUM CHLORIDE;
t AMMONIUM NITRATE or any other corrosive or irritating chemicals to melt ice on playing
surface as they may damage equipment, harm personnel or the turf.
' *Urea may be a mild eye irritant. If it gets into a person's eye, it should be washed out with liberal
amounts of water.

Watering Synthetic Turf Surfaces:
Some owners have found it desirable to deliberately wet their synthetic turf surfaces, especially in
periods of very hot weather. Wetting the surface provides moisture for cooling the field before
evaporation takes place. It also acts as a lubricant to the turf but it must be noted it may also lower
traction to a slight degree.
On a hot sunny day outdoor playing surfaces can receive enough radian energy to evaporate about a
quart of water per square yard per hour. As the moisture evaporates the temperature of the synthetic turf
will match that of natural grass in the same area. A full sized soccer, hockey or football field may
evaporate up to 1,200 gallons of water per hour in extremely hot weather.
If you decide to water your field, be careful to distribute the water evenly. If water is put on the field, it
should not be from a polluted or non-potable water supply.
Special Events: (Non-Designated Uses)
1
Assemblies and Convocations:
Facilities with synthetic surfaces are often used for graduation ceremonies at many Colleges and Universities. The
basic precaution is to keep long-term static loads below 500 pounds per square foot by the use of plywood or other
load spreaders. Normally, 4' x 8 ' foot sheets of 3/. inch plywood do a good job of load spreading, provided the load
is not applied too near the edges of each panel. Polyethylene film should be laid over the turf under the load
spreaders to avoid staining or spoilage of the turf.
Any chairs placed directly on the playing field surface should be inspected to be sure that the tips
of the legs couldn't damage the turf. Metal chair legs should be protected with rubber tips. The
legs of wooden chairs should be free of any sharp edges that may tear the turf or damage the
underpad.
Shows and Circuses:
Events such as equestrian shows and circuses fall outside the recommended lists of designed
activities for synthetic surfaces, although a number of them have been held successfully without
incident. If events of this nature are to be held, precautions regarding static loads are especially
important. Provisions should also be made for the prompt removal of animal waste. Activities
involving an open flame on the playing surface should be strictly prohibited.
Rock Shows and Concerts:
"Rock and Roll" concerts have become popular events in recent years. These events also fall outside the
recommended list of designed uses for most surface installations. The problem of surface loading to support stages
and show equipment is obvious, but can generally be overcome with proper load spreaders. Unfortunately, a much
more serious problem is control of crowd behavior.

Warranty Limitations:
IN THE CASE OF ALL NON-DESIGNED USES FOR GEOGREEN OR GEOTRAX
SURFACES, THE OWNER IS ADVISED THAT ANY RESULTING DAMAGE TO THE
TURF IS NOT COVERED BY GEO-SURFACES WARRANTY. THE ABOVE-MENTIONED
1 THREE CATEGORIES ALL FALL UNDER THIS LISTING OF NON-DESIGNED USES.
MINOR REPAIRS TO GEOGREEN OR GEOTRAX SURFACES
Your playing surface has been carefully engineered to provide many years of service. hh the case of
vandalism or unusual abuse, limit your maintenance staff to performing minor repair. For more serious
problems, consult your Geo-Surfaces representative.
When to Repair:
1 To properly maintain a replicated grass playing field, be aware of the day-to-day activities, usage
and condition of the facility. It is very important that any minor damage be repaired immediately
because a small problem may eventually grow into a major repair.
In addition to routine awareness of field conditions, once or twice a year each field should be
given a careful and thorough inspection, preferably in the spring with a follow-up in early fall.
All seams should be inspected and any loose areas noted and repaired. Go over the body of each
panel of fabric and note any rips and/or tears. Assess the status of the under-padding and the
condition of the surface. In the case of an older and/or heavily used field, inspections should be
1 made more frequently.
Why a Spring inspection?
Fields endure their heaviest scheduled activity during the fall months. Once your inspection has
been completed you may require the assistance of a professional Geo-Surfaces crew. Your Geo-
Surfaces representative is always available to assist in the case of an emergency, but planned
visits permit more efficient and cost effective service.
If repairs are required they are easier to make in warm.dry weather. Adhesives will hold better and cure faster when
there is more opportunity to leave the repaired area undisturbed. Gluing repairs should not be attempted if the field
is wet.
What Are "Minor Repairs"?
An open spot in a seam, where the loose area in the seam extends from a few inches to two feet
along a glued seam line (where at least one of the turf edges is still attached to the seam tape).
Cuts, rips or tears in the surface fabric that are less than six inches or so in length do not
generally require the insertion of seam tape. These can also be regarded as minor unless allowed
to become larger. Sewing or adhering the repairs can handle all of these problems.

' To repair minor seam openings or loose seam areas:
I) Vacuum rubber from the turf to be repaired.
2) Be sure that the fabrics to be adhered are dry, free from loose rubber, dirt, old adhesive and other
foreign matter.
3) Clean the area to be repaired and wipe the opening with methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK), toluene, or
if neither is available, with mineral spirits.
4) Position the fabric to check for satisfactory final placement.
5) Be sure the seaming tape to which the fabric will be adhered is itself adhered to the underlying
pad.
6) Trowel a small amount of adhesive from an adhesive bottle on to the seaming tape. Avoid
excessive adhesive to reduce the possibility of bleed through or bleed out. Spread the adhesive
with a knife or trowel so that the entire fabric is coated lightly and evenly.
7) Press the fabric into the adhesive bed uniformly.
8) Weight down the area and allow curing of at least 24 hours.
9) Spread rubber on the repaired area and brush into the turf thoroughly until even with surrounding
playing areas.
WARNING: MEK, toluene and mineral spirits are highly flammable and vapors can be harmful. Use in
an open, ventilated area. DO NOT use near an open flame or any other sources of ignition. SMOKING
SHOULD BE STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THIS AREA!
1 Other Typical Repairs:
Cigarette Burns:
A lit cigarette can damage any turf system. On nylon surfaces, the cigarette may scorch and blacken the
turf. Use a hand held metal brush (such as is used to remove paint) and brush the spot vigorously to
separate the fibers. If brushing the turf does not remove the damage, take a razor knife and cut the fused
area away.
tWe recommend you contact Geo-Surfaces before attempting minor repairs. It
is always best for Geo-Surfaces to perform or oversee even minor repairs.
Prohibited Activities
> Storage of materials such as drums, lumber, equipment, etc.

Baton Rouge, LA 70817
Charles,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible job your team did on the
Carpenter-Haygood Stadium turf project. We still cannot believe the project was
completed in 22 working days.
Since the field was completed we have had record rain falls and tornadoes have
1 ravaged our area. We had a 5" rainfall in just under two hours and that was followed by
7" rain storm in just over three hours. Our stadium field has never had adequate
drainage and to witness these types of storms and not have any water on our field at any
time during these storms is completely amazing. The drainage technology installed here
is absolutely the best I have ever seen and I can say prior to this construction these
same storms would have devastated our field and made it unusable.
The project was a huge success and we could not be happier with the turf. You can see
no infill and there is absolutely no rubber pellets moving around on the field. The
coaching staff and players are very excited about the new possibilities the field gives
them from a recruiting and practice standpoint.
Thank you again for the efforts you took to make sure this project was completed to the
highest standards. Please have anyone interested in your company call me directly if
they have any questions about the products or your company.
Sincerely,
T. Kale Gober

17827 N.Achord Road
Baton Rouge,LA 70817
Charlie,
I am writing to give you an annual report on our field. As you know,we are coming up on the two-year anniversary of its
installation.
As a professional engineer,I have to admit I was at first skeptical of the GeoFlo drainage design. My previous expertise
consisted of a layered stone construction design that was dependent on the infiltration capabilities of the stone draining base.
In the Cayman Islands it is not uncommon during hurricane/tropical storm season to receive as much as 3 inches of rain per
hour. We also have the concern of a very high water table to deal with when designing drainage cross sections. With the
GeoFlo system,we have not experienced a single accumulation of water on this field despite the record rainfalls nor have we
experienced any grade deformities. The GeoFlo system has been simply better than advertised and has exceeded any possible
expectations that we had.
In addition,the GeoSurfaces field was selected by the NFL to be the host surface for the annual NFL Quarterback Challenge
competition that was held on Grand Cayman again this year. For the second straight year the surface has received rave reviews
' by the players and sponsors. The NFL representatives unanimously selected the GeoSurfaces field after touring other infill fields
on the island and are very happy with the facility.
When investigating infill turfs for our project,we were told over and over by the so-called-consultants"that there was essentially
1
no difference in the turf that each company offered. This could not be more untrue. Either these people are blind or have no
fundamental understanding of turf construction and physical characteristics. When inspecting all three fields again this year,the
difference is vast and almost comical in comparison to the GeoSurfaces design. The other two fields look black due to the
tremendous amount of rubber and the sparse design of the blades of grass. The GeoSurfaces field on the other hand has no
visible infill and the surface temperatures are almost 25 degrees cooler because of this. It looks like a plush,green,finely
' manicured,natural grass field. This lack of moving or visble infill takes the performance of the surface to a different level in
direct comparison to the other fields on the island.
Again,thanks for your engineering expertise and your phenomenally designed products. I look forward to working with you on
any upcoming project that I may be a part of.
Sincerely,
1

Re: Woodward Academy Synthetic Field COLWIA66 SPRINGS
ICharles, 04L AS
We have recently completed the 22 million dollar Athletic Complex at °LN'SN
I Woodward Academy and I wanted to take time to thank you for an
outstanding job on the athletic field. We worked with several sub- °Ff MOINES
contractors on this and other projects and I have to say your team was one
of the best. We appreciate the way your guys handled the time crunch we MOU6TON
I were in and the way you were able to come through to help us meet the
time restraints on your phase of the project. KANSAS CITY
The staff at Woodward was extremely happy with not only the incredible MINNEAPOLIS
I field but also the manner at which you attacked all of the challenges with
this particular project and jobsite. The field itself has lived up to the play NASHVILLE
characteristics you promised. No visible or moving infill is present on the
field and the drainage is outstanding. At first, I was unsure of how the OKLAHOMA CITY
I GeoFlo drainage blanket would perform but now that I have witnessed the OMAHA
results I'm not sure if I would ever consider installing anything else under a
synthetic playing surface. At one point this season,Woodward had the only m0E616
field in a 10 mile radius that remained playable through all of the record
I rainfall. Even in the highest storm intensities not a single puddle or splash .06 AN6
was present and Woodward never cancelled a scheduled event due to rain.
SEATTLE
Again, thanks for a job well done and if we are ever contacted in the future
1 about the construction of a synthetic turf field you will be the first person I 6FN N6FIELO,MO
call. Feel free to give my contact information to any prospective client that
needs information about your products. Please let me know if I can ever be
TOPEKA
used as a reference or make a phone call on behalf of you or your
Icompany.
