GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer of Community -4 November 30, 1990 (City Council 12 -5 -90) Peach Hill Park - Overseeding Park Turf This item was previously presented to you at your October 17, 1990 Council meeting (see attached report). Staff and the City's landscape contractor, Turf -Pro, have re- examined the park to further ascertain the current turf condition. Our re- examination of the turf showed substantial new and vigorous growth of Bermuda grass occurring. However, it was agreed an overseeding of the area would enhance and quicken the establishment of the turf. OVERSEEDING• Based upon the current condition of the park, staff is recommending the area to be seeded under this proposal, be limited to the softball outfield and area adjacent to the ballfield (see attached diagram). The overseeding can be done by staff and the landscape contractor under our current maintenance contract. Staff anticipates the overseeding will be done in March 1991 which will close the softball diamond through May or June. This work will not interfere with the adult softball program as staff anticipates dropping one season of play at the park to allow for turf repair and rejuvenation. We would have three, ten to twelve week seasons in 1991 and early 1992. Additional cost associated with this project would be the purchase of the grass seed and top mix cover material. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 The Honorable City Council November 30, 1990 Page 2 COSTS: Staff contacted Albright Seed Company of Camarillo for seed amount and cost to overseed three acres of turf. Albright Seed Company estimates 20 pounds of seed per acre for a total of 60 pounds of seed at a cost of $2.13 /pound - $127.80. Additionally, staff contacted Agroman Corporation for top mix material amount and cost. Agroman estimates one cubic yard of top mix material per 1,000 square foot of coverage. An acre of land equals 43,560 square feet times three acres equals 130,680 square feet of area to be covered. This area will require 131 cubic feet of material. Agroman cost for the top mix delivered to the site is $19.12 per cubic yard for a total cost of $2,504.72. Product Costs Bermuda Seed 60 lbs x $2.13/lb. $ 127.80 Top Mix Material 131 Cu.
