Note: Watering shall penetrate brickdust to a minimum depth of <br />1/8" deep min. This process is crucial to keeping <br />brickdust in place and not going air borne. <br />7.5.4 Drag infield utilizing small utility vehicle as specified with "grooming or <br />finishing drag". Circular or figure eight drag patterns shall be used (see <br />details 1-A & 1-B). Alternate drag patterns or reverse direction of drag <br />patterns daily to avoid ruts and high/low areas. Speed of drag procedure <br />shall not exceed 7 mph. <br />7.5.5 When dragging the skinned infield, the contractor shall stay away from <br />all turf edges a minimum of 18". This will help in avoiding lips at <br />brickdust/turf edges. This 18' gap shall also apply to all backstops and <br />chain link fence areas. <br />7.5.6 Contractor shall hand rake all base paths on combination turf/brickdust <br />infields. <br />7.5.7 When the dragging process is complete, the contractor shall stop the drag <br />in a different location daily. This will stop the accumulation of brickdust <br />in focused areas. At this time roll -up the drag, place it on the vehicle and <br />remove all debris accumulated in the drag at this spot and rake out <br />material emptied from drag. <br />7.5.8 After dragging, hand rake the 18" edges using the "grade or grooming <br />rake". The rake shall be held at an angle as to not push brickdust <br />onto/into turf areas. <br />7.5.9 After raking the 18" edges, the contractor shall clean all excess brickdust <br />on the turf edges utilizing a high pressure water one (1) time per week. <br />NO brickdust shall be permitted on the turf edges at any time. If in the <br />determination of City staff, an unsafe lip situation exists (an unsafe lip is <br />1/2" or greater) in any turf/brickdust border area infield to brickdust, base - <br />paths or brickdust to outfield), contractor will be required to remove or <br />level the soil build-up with a sod cutter and re-establish the in -field <br />boundaries with a string line or suitable method and re -sod up to the <br />border to remedy the situation at contractors expense. Pre-existing <br />conditions shall be corrected during contract start-up. <br />7.6 Final Watering <br />7.6.1 This is the most time consuming and a very important element of the <br />procedure. <br />7.6.2 The contractor shall final water the skinned brickdust to a depth of 1/4" <br />minimum. <br />vi <br />
