Specifications include, but are not limited to: Districtwide, the CPD maintains over 8,100 acres of turf grass, including more than 1,000 turf-based athletic fields. Used nearly year-round by both organized leagues and informal groups, CPD turf areas and athletic fields represent a significant recreational resource for the public. The successful management and maintenance of these facilities are critical components of the CPD's stated mission as a provider of safe, inviting and well maintained recreational opportunities. This requires, among other operations, regular seeding and over seeding of turf areas, particularly athletic fields, by the CPD's Natural Resources field staff. It is the intent of this IFB to provide the means by which to procure the correct type of seed mix, on a timely basis, at competitive prices.
