Specifications include, but are not limited to: Baseball and Softball field areas will be maintained utilizing only the same material currently existing on a specific field (i.e. Partac Peat Premium Infield Mix and Pitcher’s Mound Clay is the only acceptable material for the Varsity Baseball Field). The Superintendent of Parks and Recreation will issue specifics for the material of each field. All infield clay is to be scarified/raked to provide smooth surface. Mechanical raking (Field Pro) is permitted. All clay/grass perimeters abutting turf must be raked back or blown back to avoid build up from grooming and drag matting. All clay areas will be scarified, as per the detailed List of Maintenance Services (Section 19), to prevent weed establishment. Lining will include chalk lines for the batter’s box and infield foul lines. Outfield foul lines will be maintained with paint, applied no less than weekly. Water removal methods must not result in the formation of lips or the creation of grade irregularities that may affect proper drainage. The uses of approved drying agents are permitted to aid in gaining maximum playability on the fields, however all minor amounts of the material must be nail dragged/ tilled and fully incorporated into the main body of the infield. Current approved products are PRO RED CHOICE for varsity fields and Turface Game Saver on JV Fields.
