PART 3    EXECUTION
3.1	EXAMINATION
A.	Prior to the commencement of synthetic turf system installation, synthetic turf installer must inspect base and coordinate a review with the Engineer for compliance with installation requirements. Review must include verification of the base's depth, slope, porosity, stone base enclosures, curbs, drainage, tolerances, and stone selection. 
1.	Installer must provide written acceptance of the base upon receipt of certified test results from the Contractor confirming compliance with the specified requirements for compaction, planarity, and permeability. 
2.	Finished stone and decomposed granite base surface must not vary from true plane more than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) in 10 ft (3.05 m) and 1/8 inch (3.18 mm) in 3 ft (0.91 m) when measured in any direction. 
3.	Concrete or Asphalt slope must 1/4 inch per ft (20.8 mm per m).
4.	Concrete must maintain a tolerance of 1/8 inch in 10 ft (3.18 mm in 3.05 m). 
5.	Examine for planarity by laser level, string line straight edge or other assessment equipment.
6.	Mark in the field any deviations from grade in excess, as well as provide a marked-up plan locating deviations. 
7.	Compaction of aggregate base must be 90 to 95 percent to Standard Proctor, at a minimum 2 percent slope, and surface tolerances must not exceed 1/4 inch over 10 ft (6.35 mm over 3.05 m).
8.	Verify thermal stability of base is less than 2 percent. 
9.	Engage a State registered surveyor to conduct and elevation survey of area in a 25 ft (7.62 m) grid to determine and verify subgrade elevations and slopes are within tolerances. Elevation survey may require further verification of smaller area within the 20 ft (6.10 m) grid if determined necessary by the Engineer. 
10.	Correct deviations to the satisfaction of Engineer and synthetic turf installer. 
B.	If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
C.	Do not begin installation until the substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
D.	When corrective procedures have been completed, finished sub-base surface must be reinspected with the same representatives attending as the initial inspection. If required, additional repair and inspections are to be conducted until the sub-base surface is deemed acceptable by the Engineer and synthetic turf installer. 
3.2	PREPARATION
A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation. Ensure surfaces are free of dirt, dust and petroleum products, is moisture free, and sufficiently secured to prevent unwanted pedestrian and vehicular access. 
B.	Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate type under the project conditions.
1.	Stone Base: Wet stone during mixing operations if necessary for proper blending. 
2.	Decomposed Granite Base: Mix, spread and compact decomposed Granite according to decomposed Granite mix manufacturer's written instructions. 
3.	Concrete Base: Concrete Contractor must flood pad to ensure proper slope and tolerance. Areas holding enough water to cover a flat nickel must be patched prior to arrival or turf installer.
4.	Asphalt Base: Pressure wash according to synthetic turf manufacturer's written instructions. 
C.	Commencement of synthetic turf system installation signifies acceptance of earthwork and placement, dimensions, and compaction of base and sub-base materials, and the Work of other related Sections affecting the Work of this Section. 
3.3	INSTALLATION
A.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, approved Shop Drawings and submittals, and in proper relationship with adjacent construction.
1.	Turf Roll Seams: Sew or glue on site, leaving no openings larger than porous backing mat openings. Bind turf fabric edges securely, in compliance with manufacturer's written instructions and as indicated on the Drawings, using manufacturer's recommended adhesive. 
2.	Install turf fabric surface in minimum fabric width recommended by manufacturer, with no longitudinal or transverse seams. 
3.	Brush seams and turf thoroughly to remove wrinkles before installing infill material. 
4.	Install terminations in compliance with approved Shop Drawings. 
5.	Ensure turf remains free draining before, during, and after installation. 
6.	Keep area clean throughout construction period, including track surfaces. 
3.4	FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A.	Field Inspection: Coordinate field inspection in accordance with appropriate sections in Division 01.
B.	Promptly remove all Work rejected by the Engineer as defective or unacceptable. Replace defective Work in full conformance with the Contract Documents.

3.5	CLEANING AND PROTECTION
A.	Clean products in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. 
B.	Contractor is responsible for correcting damage to existing fixtures and facilities resulting from installation of synthetic turf system, and repair to original condition prior to Substantial Completion and commencement of warranty period. 
C.	Protect installed synthetic turf system during and after installation completion in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. 
1.	Provide and install concrete blankets or welding blankets for areas with ongoing overhead construction, welding or painting. 
2.	Do not use clear polymer plastic covers for turf protection. 
3.	Prevent traffic over system prior to acceptance by Owner.
D.	Touch-up, repair or replace damaged products before Substantial Completion.
