It should be noted that MLS has additional rigs in nearby cities such as and Orange and can call upon <br />TO's from these areas in die event of an emergency or unforeseen circumstances. MLS has a fill] Seale <br />Area Office in the City of Orange at Bart Park and will stage all Santa Ana operations from its Orange; <br />County Area office. <br />11c Daily Routine Maintenance Program will take into account that specific locations on each ball field <br />(referred to as "high- impact areas ") endure heavy traffic and displacement of infield mix and thus require <br />special attention. High- impact areas such as batter's boxes, catcher's and umpire's places behind home <br />plate, the pitcher's mound, the base paths, and the sliding areas around the base anchors will receive addi- <br />tional watering and scarifyurg on a daily basis; and traction material will be added when needed. The <br />Routine Maintenance Program consists of the following steps that are performed on a daily basis: <br />I. Using a gas powered leaf blower or push broom, dugouts will be swept daily. Infield mix will be re- <br />turned to the infield area and unwanted trash and debris will be disposed of in a proper trash recepta- <br />cle. (Leaf rakes will be used to ensure maximum trash /debris removal.) <br />2. All perimeter edges where infield mix meets grass or fencing will be hand raked using a landscape <br />rake. <br />3. (lase anchors, plates and pitching rubbers will be checked for wear or damage. Then, using a land- <br />scape rake, any displaced infield mix material in high - impact areas (as defined above) will be back- <br />filled in low areas. <br />4. The entire traction area will be pre - watered in preparation for dragging. <br />S. Using a John Deere 1200 ball field conditioner, the grading /leveling attachment will be employed to <br />evenly distribute traction material over the entire traction area surface of the infield while at the same <br />time a "finishing" or "screen" drag will be pulled over the entire traction area surface to leave a <br />smooth or "polished" surface. (Special attention will paid to varying the drag pattern, lifting the drag <br />off the field while the drag is in a high impact area and raking out the spot where the drag is removed <br />from the infield surface.) <br />6. Final water entire traction area of 'infield surface and apply additional water to all of the high impact <br />areas. <br />7. The entire field shall be "walked" and any "detail" items that may have arisen will be addressed. Such <br />items include brushing or washing back displaced infield mix from the previous evening's play or <br />using a leaf rake to brush back infield mix that has been carried off the infield into the grass with the <br />Jl) 1200 tires or a hose. <br />Sports Priority Turf Program & Specialized Weekly/ Monthly Tasks <br />MLS will dedicate an experienced staff member (the Director or Area Lead) to handle the specialized <br />tasks associated with perimeter/border edging, infield mowing, periodic turf aeration and <br />fertilization, and irrigation controller management. This staff member will be equipped with a gas pow- <br />ered edger, Tru Cut "Greens" reel mower, walk behind piston type aerator mid a mechanical broadcaster. <br />The infield turf inside the base lines and the foul ground areas adjacent to the infields shall be mowed <br />with a "Greens" mower two (2) tunes per week. The area 36" beyond the infield perimeter borders /arcs <br />shall be mowed with a "Greens" mower one (1) time per week year round. <br />It is important to understand that the staff member charged with this responsibility will be a highly skilled <br />individual that will be adept with leaving clean, straight borders and will be experienced and knowledge- <br />Lands .Pe %V ,t ?�danag me ¢t Sery rues, tna. €4 City of Santa Ann_ HID NO r.FP134)6STa1 79A <br />
