Tab 3‐ Company Profile 

1.  Company’s official registered name. 

 

Response:  

 

FieldTurf USA, Inc. 

 

2.  Brief History of your company including the year it was established 

              Response: 

Date of incorporation: Nov 6, 1996 (FieldTurf International, Inc.) 

Date of name change to FieldTurf USA, Inc.: Oct, 1 2004 

FieldTurf was developed and engineered for athletes, by athletes. Before we came along, artificial turf 

was something to be avoided. The very phrase conjured up images of carpet and concrete, non‐contact 

injuries, and careers ended prematurely. Natural grass was considered the only solution – even though it 

required constant maintenance and care. This was the environment in which we asked ourselves one 

question: 

“Can we make synthetic turf that is equal to or better than the best natural grass?” 

In seeking the answer to this question, we worked closely with athletes, former players, coaches,

advanced formulas – all with the goal of developing an artificial turf system that combined the 

performance properties of natural grass with the benefits of a synthetic solution.  It worked.

As discussed, please see attached the various documents explaining the TCPN purchasing process. TCPN allows municipalities, park and recreation authorities and other public entities to purchase FieldTurf without duplicating the bid process. Overall, it eliminates the time consuming, cumbersome and costly parts of the traditional bid process (writing specs, qualifying bidders etc.) and allows you to select pre-bid FieldTurf products at a competitive price while still satisfying IL bid laws. Membership is free and requires only a one page simple form to join. Last year we completed Wheeling, Hersey, and Aurora West High Schools through TCPN in IL. This year so far we have contracts for Rolling Meadows, Buffalo Grove, Prospect, and New Trier High Schools through TCPN with more to come in the next few weeks. This method has been very popular on the East Coast over the last five years and is now finally an option here in IL. I’ve copied Eric Fisher, our coop administrator for the Midwest in case you have any questions about the process for either of us.

3. Explain how your company plans to market this agreement to existing government customers?

Response:

As FieldTurf believes this to be TCPN’s strongest strength (governmental entity status) when FieldTurf meets with government based clients, the sales force and or Co-op Director will stress:

The fact that TCPN products and services have already been bid at the National level. Present a list of Governmental customers that have already purchased using TCPN. Explain the governmental entity link in detail with supporting documentation. Explain the “turn-key” nature of the contract.

See below for additional details.

How FieldTurf is Good for the Environment 

Believe it or not, it is easy being green. Reducing your shower time by just one minute can save 365 gallons of water a year. Not hosing down your patio or driveway can save 960. And filling your bath tub up halfway can save 3,650. Just imagine how much water installing a FieldTurf artificial grass or synthetic turf system can save.

Actually, you don’t have to imagine. Installing a FieldTurf artificial grass system for home landscaping alone can save a whopping 56,000 gallons of water per year. And on an average-sized sports field, that number skyrockets to millions of gallons per year.

When it comes to carbon footprints, there’s simply no comparison between natural grass and FieldTurf artificial grass and synthetic turf systems. FieldTurf is lead free and 100% recyclable. We are a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council and the

Even Greener Than it Looks

By choosing FieldTurf artificial turf, you’re becoming part of an environmental movement that not only saves clean drinking water, but also:

Eliminates impact on water resources Eliminates the use of billions of pounds of harmful pesticides, fertilizers,

fungicides and herbicides, used on natural grass, that can run off into ground water

Significantly lowers the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels needed to produce lawn care chemicals

Eliminates fuel-powered mowing, aerating, and re-seeding . Gas-powered lawn mowers alone can cause as much pollution in one hour as 10 cars. FieldTurf systems save millions of gallons of gas a year.

Eliminates grass clippings that are among the biggest landfill contributors to the greenhouse effect. During the summer months, clippings alone can account for nearly half of a community’s waste.

Drastically lowers the use of paper and plastic products that support maintenance Removes millions of tires from landfill sites each year Can contribute toward numerous Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

So have world health organizations, leading universities and independent scientific committees. Elected officials have reacted to the concerns of their constituents by commissioning studies to get the facts – and each time artificial turf has been found to be safe.

Occasionally, groups opposed to artificial turf systems will use creative tactics to make it seem like it they are unsafe or untested – this simply is not true. There has been extensive testing, and ample research is available.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ represents the U.S. Green Building Council’s effort to provide a national standard for what constitutes a “green building.” It is utilized as a design guideline and certification tool for architects and designers seeking to develop high-performance, sustainable buildings.

The ability to be flexible allows LEED to evolve, taking advantage of new technologies and advancements in building science while prioritizing energy efficiency and CO2 emissions reductions

The rating system defines the requirements, by category, to achieve each prerequisite and voluntary point. Projects earn one or more points toward certification by meeting or exceeding each credit’s technical requirements. Points compute to a final score that relates to various levels of certification.

2. What is your reputation for products and services in the marketplace?

Response:

FieldTurf leads the industry with the recent release of FieldTurf Revolution; FieldTurf’s first proprietary (non 3rd party) fiber. Its polymer, process and geometry are very unique resulting in the most advanced characteristics of any sports based synthetic turf fibers. No other synthetic turf producer has the capability to produce a fiber that has tested as well as FieldTurf Revolution.

Furthermore, independent, 3rd party testing has demonstrated that FieldTurf’s fibers are by far and away the safest when compared to Natural grass fields. In addition, FieldTurf has over 200 fields in the ground that have lasted beyond their 8 yr 3rd party insured warranty. This is far more than all other turf companies combined.

For each lot this shall include: a. The manufacture’s name: FieldTurf USA, Inc. and Beynon Sports Surfaces b. The various levels of products offered from each: See below beginning with

“FieldTurf Synthetic Turf Projects” through “Beynon Sports Surfaces” c. Services offered and provided by each manufacturer: See below but includes

supply, installation and related “sitework” services (turnkey). d. The products and services to be offered by subcontractors: FieldTurf uses “in-

house” installation teams and creates their own proprietary fibers. Beynon sports surfaces have a state-of -the-art facility that creates unique polyurethanes and other chemical compounds for their use in running tracks. Subcontractors would only perform related “site work” services (drainage, rock, laser grading, geo-textile fabric etc.) not directly related to the supply and installation of the sports surfaces.

See below for additional information. Start with “FieldTurf Synthetic Turf Projects”

2. Offers must, through written documentation, demonstrate their ability to perform

those services offered herein by providing prior experience with educational institutions. For each lot, documentation shall include: a. List (5) previous projects related to this lot b. The general scope of work for each project c. The manufacturers product used for each project listed d. The total cost of each project e.

quality, cost efficient and better facility. For each project, provide a brief narrative why you feel your input was most advantageous to the final outcome.

Response:

1. Lakes High School- Lakewood, WA:

A true “Design Build”, this project specifically showcases all of the expertise, skill and knowledge of the FieldTurf and Beynon Sports teams. The project included tennis courts, a running track, a synthetic turf and related site work. The project totaled in excess of 3 million dollars and resulted in a very satisfied customer.

2. Farmington High School- Farmington, NM:

A removal/ replacement of a synthetic turf field, a removal/ replacement of a running track and related track and field equipment, the owners at Farmington pre-selected our products and services based on our position in the marketplace. The timeline was very tight, the owner very demanding and the site in a challenging location (high elevation) FieldTurf and Beynon were able to meet and exceed all expectations for this project while still meeting budget.

3. D 214, IL- Arlington Heights, IL- Wheeling and Hersey Fields (3 more under contract for 2012)

Procured through TCPN, the Wheeling and Hersey Projects were successful. The owner ordered (3) more fields this year to be installed this Spring/ Summer. FieldTurf adapted to very strict contractual language and a base that was rejected twice (work nbot performed by FieldTurf). FieldTurf’s expert Construction Managers protected the owner by refusing to lay turf on a questionable base that could have resulted in issues further down the road. Once satisfactory, FieldTurf’s installation team completed the fields accordingly. TCPN also played a very critical role in the securing of these projects.

4. Provide a narrative of your company’s policies, procedures and strategies to ensure quality control, response to concerns before, during and after the project. Indicate what follow-up, review and oversight process your management team has in place to ensure member satisfaction.

Response:

FieldTurf has installed approximately 2,200 artificial turf fields throughout the United States in the past five years. Even in light of this volume, FieldTurf has managed these projects without resort to change orders except in limited circumstances which are typically driven by owner-directed scope changes or project delays due to other contractors whose work precedes the installation of the artificial turf. In typical cases, change orders are minimal and a small percentage of overall project values.

See Below for the General FieldTurf USA, Inc. Business Operations Plan, Q6 Brochure, and the Standard Design/Build Work Flow Chart. All three documents address the service FieldTurf provides, how our business functions are applied in the short term and long term, our quality of

To summarize, we have the in-house resources, project managers, U.S. manufacturing base, contract management support, installation asset base, personnel and product to meet your requirements for a superior, turnkey artificial grass installation. FieldTurf is the industry leader by every measuring process. Items that set our company apart include the following: Our financial stability is the best in the industry. FieldTurf is part of Tarkett Sports, a

division of Tarkett, which is the largest sports surfacing company in the world. Tarkett has annual sales in excess of $3 billion and is owned in part by Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts, a venture capital firm with over $60 billion in assets. Included within the Tarkett Sports portfolio is an impressive range of performance sports flooring products, including artificial turf; basketball, volleyball and gymnasium flooring; squash and racquetball courts; floor protection and covering systems; weight room flooring; and high performance indoor and outdoor running tracks.

FieldTurf operates its own manufacturing facilities in the United States and worldwide. We

inspect the turf from start to finish, including the coating process, and control the critical tufting phase of the manufacturing process, which controls product quality, weight and conformance to specification. Competing systems are not equally integrated and depend wholly on third parties for key inspections and manufacturing, often to the point of simply acting as jobbers for tufting mills.

In one of the most technological advancements to come out of the synthetic turf

industry, FieldTurf has revolutionized the tuft bind standard on its artificial grass products. Accordingly, we are able to guarantee the 9 lb tuft bind. This level of quality is achieved through the company’s ability to coat and inspect its own products internally. FieldTurf’s dedication to controlling all aspects of the manufacturing process has led to the creation of the company’s Surelock™ Coating Technology, whereby FieldTurf guarantees the strength of the fibers and their attachment to the backing material - referred to as “tuft bind”. One of the most important elements of an artificial turf field is the ability for the fibers to stay locked in place over their lifetime. This is a very important factor in measuring short-term and long-term durability and performance of a synthetic turf field.

The FieldTurf “concept” is unique and covered by numerous patents and patents pending. The intellectual property owned by FieldTurf assures you that with the purchase of FieldTurf you get the most innovative and highly perfected engineered system available on the market today.

Revolutionary Turf Fiber Continuing a history of innovation, FieldTurf is pleased to offer the Revolution fiber.

Revolution signifies The New Age of Artificial Turf. Complete with FieldTurf’s patented layered sand/rubber infill of over 9lbs per square foot, the Revolution fiber means your field will last longer than ever before. And lasting longer means lower costs, more revenue generation potential and a better investment.

Produced in our own fiber plant, the Revolution fiber is the result of innovative science, engineering and technology that will provide FieldTurf customers with a soft, strong monofilament fiber with outstanding durability and longevity. Most importantly, FieldTurf now has complete quality control over all aspects of our turf system.

There are 3 keys to fiber design/production and FieldTurf has invested heavily in all 3 areas,

specifically;

o Polymer - Proprietary polymer formulation to resist splitting and degradation complete with an industry leading ultraviolet inhibitor technology.

o Process - State-of-the-art extrusion process for precision manufacturing that

ensures the production of an exceptionally strong fiber and a radical reflection feature built into each artificial grass blade.

o Geometry - Intricate concave & ridged construction eliminates breaking points

and provides for the most natural looking fiber. o Testing has shown that the Revolution fiber is more resilient that all other fibers

currently being offered in the industry today. A recent long-term injury study among college athletes concludes fewer injuries on FieldTurf

vs. Natural Grass.

7% - Fewer total injuries 3% - Fewer minor injuries 19% - Fewer substantial injuries 22% - Fewer severe injuries

FieldTurf offers the third-party insured product warranty required by your specifications.

Our insured warranty provides our customers with an aggregate of $32 million per year for repair or replacement with cash reserves already frozen as a precaution. There are no maximums on any claim. No deductibles, no retentions and no retention period. Every FieldTurf field is protected for the full duration of the warranty through a prepaid policy that

FieldTurf – 8088 Montview Road – Montreal, QC H4P 2L7 – Tel 1-800-724-2969 - Fax (514) 340-9374 www.fieldturf.com

A.M. Best rates A++ (Superior) and Category XV, the highest rating available. With the recent slate of bankruptcies in the industry, clients are finding this tool to be of great value. You can see how important this insured warranty is for the University School of Milwaukee especially as you are making a very large investment in this project. This is just another one of many reasons FieldTurf is a superior value, regardless of price.

FieldTurf is the product that revolutionized the industry and continues to do so! Again, it has

been carefully designed and engineered to play almost exactly like good natural grass. This is the secret to our success. Change any aspect of the system – the backing, infill, fiber size or shape, the density of the pile – and the performance will be affected. FieldTurf is the original and only system emulating natural grass, ideal not only for athletes at the elite level, but for the everyday activities of active, competitive young people. FieldTurf is clearly a superior investment and is seldom the low bid. We now have over 4000 fields installed and continue to improve the product through thorough testing and careful product development, including advanced maintenance techniques and equipment for older fields, new components to add durability, improved drainage and base designs and other advances. FieldTurf is the only proven product. We have over 700 fields in their 7th year of service or older.

We have put together a solid, experienced “team”—including superior, locally-based contractors for the base construction and turf installation--in order to properly meet your expectations and ambitious project requirements.

See attached: Standard Design / Build Work Flow Chart as part of the Business Operations Plan.

BSS 3000 ­ Running Track & Field Beynon Sports Surfaces has once again raised the bar in track & field. The new BSS 3000 is faster and more athlete-friendly - as well as more environmentally-friendly - than any track & field surface available today.

FieldTurf – 8088 Montview Road – Montreal, QC H4P 2L7 – Tel 1-800-724-2969 - Fax (514) 340-9374 www.fieldturf.com

Not only is the BSS 3000 best-in-class in terms of performance, but unlike other full pour track surfaces, the BSS 3000 contains no SBR. Extensive R&D efforts and rigorous testing have been combined to deliver this remarkable advancement in track & field surfacing. Among the BSS 3000’s key benefits:

Speed: Efficiently converts impact energy into kinetic energy, leading to faster times.

Safety: Innovative gel technology produces an ultrasoft elastomer with viscoelastic behavior that allows for superior shock absorbing properties.

Eco-Friendly: Approximately 300,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide is prevented from entering the atmosphere when installing the BSS 3000 system versus a standard full pour track system.

Highly customizable: Force reduction (softness/firmness) can be adjusted to meet your specifications by increasing the surface’s leveling layer size and decreasing the gel cushion layer (see surface cross-section for standard BSS 3000 specs).

L­2000 Running Track 

Solid, Seamless Latex

The L-2000 is unlike any other latex brand track system. It's a pure latex bound track – Beynon uses no emulsified asphalt in the bottom layers of its system. Instead, we use only high grade polymer resin-binder throughout the entire surface. The L-2000 is installed utilizing the patented "rake and spray" system. In this process, rubber granules are broadcast or "raked" onto the surface and then adhered by "spray-applying" a layer of polymer resin-binder. This method of layering is repeated until the specified thickness is achieved. The result is a dense, uniform, seamless latex track surface.

Our installation list will show you other institutions that have utilized the L-2000 track system

The Next Generation

This is it! The next evolutionary step for track surfaces. Water-based acrylic coating technology. Water-based coatings are non-toxic and friendly to the environment. The Poly-4000 incorporates water based resin technology throughout its structure. We've taken the unique Atlas latex system and finished it with multiple layers of large colored EPDM rubber granules and highly pigmented, structural acrylic coatings. The acrylic coating provides enhanced U.V. protection and with the combination of EPDM, establishes color stability. You get rich deep colors throughout its structure. The Poly-4000 measures up to the high performance criteria you expect from more expensive polyurethane track surfaces. Our installation list will show you other institutions that have utilized the Poly 4000 track system. PLEASE SEE SPECIFICATION SHEETS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The World Leader In Artificial Turf

2 3

Largest artificial turf project in the world.Golden Eagle Regional Park - Sparks, NV

1,400,000 sq ft

FieldTurf was developed and engineered for athletes, by athletes. Before we came along, artificial turf was something to be avoided. The very phrase conjured up images of carpet and concrete, non-contact injuries, and careers ending prematurely. Natural grass was considered the only solution – even though it required constant maintenance and care. This was the environment in which we asked ourselves one question:

Can we make synthetic turf that is equal to or better than the best natural grass?

In seeking the answer to this question, we worked closely with athletes, former players, coaches, trainers, and doctors. Development included years of trials, tests, samples, equipment innovations and advanced formulas – all with the goal of developing an artificial turf system that combined the performance properties of natural grass with the benefits of a synthetic solution. It worked.

There are 5 basic questions to answer in order to determine if FieldTurf is a good fit for your organization. If you answered yes to any one of these questions, FieldTurf will be one of the best investments your organization has ever made. Guaranteed!

1. Do you have trouble with your current grass surface?

2. Are you spending too much on field maintenance?

3. Is there a lack of performance from your current surface?

4. Have certain elements of your field become a safety hazard?

5. Does your current field harm the environment in any way?

Designed to Perform. Proven to Protect.

The Most Durable Fibers - for the Longest-Lasting PerformanceFieldTurf has two innovative fiber options to choose from:

8 Patented Steps for FieldTurf Performance

SureLock coating system bonds each row of fibers to the backing while 40% of the backing remains completely porous for unmatched drainage.

Finished carpet sections are laid on the field and sewn together. Lines, markings and logos are completed.

Infilling of 9.2 lbs/square foot begins with clean, washed silica sand to stabilize and support the entire system.

The fibers are tufted into the backing at a patented row width of 3/4” - for ideal cleat interaction.

Multiple layers of similar sized particles of cryogenic rubber and silica sand ensure proper energy restitution.

Up to fourteen passes of layering provides an infill that stays in suspension without compacting or displacing.

The final layers of larger sized cryogenic rubber granules remain on the surface to provide a safe and soft landing.

A formulated mix of clean, cryogenic rubber and silica sand are introduced in a patented layering process.

1- Duraspine PRO FiberWith a patented polymer technology, Duraspine PRO has withstood over 100,000 cycles of wear testing and provides the industry’s strongest wear resistance and superior pile recovery. It’s the most durable fiber, yet it’s 50% softer than any other fiber on the market. Like natural grass, each blade of Duraspine PRO features a single spine – nature’s ideal design.

2- Classic FiberThe gold standard in slit-film durability and technology, the Classic fibers are abrasion resistant and treated with UV inhibitors. The grains of infill material settle inside the tiny honeycomb pockets in each fiber. The fibrillation process splits the open ends at the top of the fiber which then lay over on the surface and encapsulate the infill.

A Patented Infill System- for Superior PlayabilitySimilarly sized particles of washed silica sand and rounded cryogenic rubber infill hold each other in suspension, compress and expand to provide stability, long life resiliency and proper energy restitution. Unlike ambient rubber, cryogenic rubber is the cleanest and highest grade of rubber granule for use in sports fields. FieldTurf’s infill material is layered, in a patented installation process, into the gaps between the fibers. This specific infill mix is vital to safety, performance and long-term durability.

SureLock Coating - for the most Durable ProductFieldTurf’s fibers are tufted into a backing of permeable woven and non-woven polypropylene fabrics at a patented row width of ¾” – for optimal cleat interaction. Each row of fibers is sealed with the patented SureLock coating system that leaves the backing 40% porous, for unmatched drainage while providing an industry-leading tuft bind. Tuft bind is the strength of the attachment of the yarn to the backing material. It is important to note that superior tuft bind is mainly achieved by using strong fibers and securing them with the SureLock Coating System.

Patented Infill – for the highest performanceAthletes run, cut, plant and release in the infill and not on the synthetic blades of grass. Our patented layered infill mix of silica sand and cryogenic rubber is vital to safety, durability, and longevity. Many in the industry try to circle around FieldTurf’s infill patent but none have had any success with regards to developing an infill mix that can deliver the same performance characteristics that have become synonymous with FieldTurf.

Proven Safety – for the health of your athletesThe findings of long-term testing programs show that FieldTurf is safer than any other synthetic turf system and equal to – if not better than – natural grass in most critical areas of player safety. No other company can make this claim.

The Most Innovative Fiber – for optimal playabilityOur spined fiber, long renowned for its durability and resistance to matting, is coupled with the latest in polymer technology. This patented combination delivers perfectly natural characteristics and the softest, most durable fiber ever introduced.

SureLock Coating – for the most durable productFieldTurf is the only company to guarantee a 9 lbs average tuft bind on all of its products. Other products in the industry can randomly achieve this level of tuft bind but no one else can guarantee it!

Longevity – for a better investmentSince its inception, FieldTurf has proven to be the most durable and longest-lasting synthetic turf system in the marketplace having installed more fields that are currently 8 years or older than all other competitor installations combined.

Single Source Responsibility – for customer security and satisfactionFieldTurf has brought “single source responsibility” and quality to the forefront with its manufacturing plant and quality control standards. This has paved the road towards true innovation and customer security.

Insured Warranty – for complete peace of mindFieldTurf was the first company in the industry to offer a third-party insured warranty. While you’ll probably never need to use it, you can rest easy knowing that you’re protected by the industry’s best warranty in the unlikely event something goes wrong with your field. It’s peace of mind that sets FieldTurf apart.

Installation Method – for a stronger fieldFieldTurf does not cut corners when it comes to the installation of artificial turf fields. In order to lower their prices, many competing companies will cut corners on important installation procedures. This severely compromises the durability of the entire field.

Best Value – for reassurance about FieldTurf’s worthFieldTurf may be priced slightly higher but it costs significantly less. Versus natural grass, over a 10-year period, FieldTurf pays significant dividends with an Average Cost per Hour of Use of $25.74 versus that of Natural Grass at $91.20. Versus Competing Artificial Systems, FieldTurf is also a much better value with a yearly cost of $85,000 versus over $100,000 per year.

First-Class Service – for your FieldTurf experienceFieldTurf does not sever its customer relations once the contract has been signed. We take the time to follow up with each and every one of our customers in order to ensure complete and consistent customer satisfaction. Our professional customer service agentsare always ready to assist with any issues relating to your FieldTurf field. Whether your request is placed by phone or through email, our customer service department guarantees fast and effective solutions for all your field care needs.

The Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ represents the U.S. Green Building Council’s effort to provide a national standard for what constitutes a “green building.” It is utilized as a design guideline and certification tool for architects and designers seeking to develop high-performance, sustainable buildings.

LEED Version 2.2 is an updated version of the rating system for New Construction, Major Renovations, and Water Efficiency. It is designed to guide and distinguish high-performance commercial and institutional projects.

The rating system defines the requirements, by category, to achieve each prerequisite and voluntary point. Projects earn one or more points toward certification by meeting or exceeding each credit’s technical requirements. Points compute to a final score that relates to one of four possible levels of certification.

FieldTurf ’s synthetic turf systems for athletic fields are designed to meet stringent criteria required to potentially earn points under 1 out of the 10 categories of LEED-NC. Based on this criteria, FieldTurf ’s products can assist architects and designers in obtaining up to 10 points toward LEED certification.

The greatest turf on earth.®

fieldturf.com

FieldTurf, the most trusted name in artificial turf, is the only artificial turf company on the market to meet the requirements of Q6, the most rigorous and comprehensive of quality control standards. The Q6 standard encompasses the six essential elements of quality control in relation to artificial turf; the ownership and management of a manufacturing plant, the testing of each roll of fiber, the testing of the infill and the verification of its grade, the implementation of certified in-house installation crews, the issuing of a 3rd party insured warranty and the responsiveness of the customer service department. By conforming to Q6 standards, FieldTurf is able to ensure the success, safety, performance and durability of every one of its FieldTurf fields.

Owning and Managing a Manufacturing Plant

Out of all artificial turf companies on the market, FieldTurf is one of the only corporations with its own manufacturing plant. Having the ability to oversee and manage each aspect of the product’s creation is one of the most crucial components of Q6 quality control. With plant managers and inspectors maintaining a close watch on production at all times, and only Q6 approved product delivered to job sites, FieldTurf can confirm that every field installed will provide for maximum safety, performance and durability.

Most other turf companies, who do not own their own manufacturing plant, distribute their product by purchasing an off-the-shelf generic product which includes the backing, fiber and tufting. Often, turf rolls are delivered to a job site without ever having been examined by the turf manufacturer. With a seemingly non-existent approach to quality control it makes guaranteeing quality impossible.

Without testing each specific roll of turf it becomes impossible to meet Q6 standards for quality. As a result, the end user cannot receive assurance that their field will not experience dramatic fiber migration (caused by a poor tuft bind), field matting (caused by a fiber’s inability to maintain its posture), infill migration (caused by a fiber’s incapacity to encapsulate the infill) or turf shifts and tears (caused by a weak backing).

Testing the Rolls of Fiber

FieldTurf understands that the rolls of fiber form the foundation of the artificial turf field. Delivering a roll that is anything less than perfect not only introduces the potential for structural failure, but places the health and safety of the athlete at risk. With so much on the line, every single FieldTurf roll of fiber is subjected to the most thorough and grueling testing practices.

Initial testing is conducted on the turf backing. The turf backing acts as the skeleton for the entire turf system which is why ensuring its durability, stability and permeability is of the upmost importance. After having undergone a series of intensive simulated wear and permeability tests, the backing is then analyzed for defects. Only approved product receives clearance to proceed to the fiber tufting stage.

Once the fibers have been tufted into the backing and the coating has been applied along the fiber rows for maximum drainage, FieldTurf inspectors carry out a variety of tests that have been designed to measure tuft bind, fiber elongation, posture, density, color, wind resistance, tenacity, denier, shrinkage, twist (turns per inch) and the accurate application of the coating. Only rolls of product which receive passing grades on all tests are permitted to proceed to the next stage.

The most tested turf on earth. fieldturf.com

After having passed the intensive backing, fiber, coating and permeability testing, the roll is then subjected to scientific safety testing to ensure that it is 100% lead-free. With all tests successfully completed, and the roll approved for delivery and installation, a piece of the roll is tagged, retained and stored for future reference.

••

For reasons concerning safety and performance, cryogenic rubber, a rare grade of clean and finely rounded rubber, is the only grade of rubber that FieldTurf incorporates into its fields. The competition uses a cheaper grade of mass produced rubber known as ambient. Ambient rubber is a dirty and jagged grade of rubber particle which often contains traces of unwanted metals from used tires. From a performance standpoint, ambient rubber has the propensity for premature degradation and migration. Before being installed, our washed silica sand and cryogenic rubber is tested for shape, size, safety, consistency and durability. By meeting the necessary criteria, FieldTurf is able to guarantee that the athletes who play on FieldTurf are 100% safe at all times.

Certified In-House Installation Crews

When it comes to an artificial turf field, the quality of the installation job is as vital to success as the quality of the product. Without an experienced and qualified crew, the artificial turf field is almost guaranteed to fail.

FieldTurf, recognizing the importance, established its own certified in-house installation crews. By incorporating licensed, in-house installation crews who

have experience with the FieldTurf product, FieldTurf is able to assure its customers that only those who fully understand the product and its construction requirements handle the installation. Currently, reoccurring problems with poorly installed glued seams is the number one maintenance issue affecting fields. With glued seams the large turf panels can shift and raise over time. Eventually the glued seam will no longer be able to endure the wear and tear caused by regular playability. As a result, the glued seam will literally bust open allowing for the panels to shift. With the seam compromised, displaced infill can lead to two dangerous and detrimental outcomes. Either the loose infill will reposition itself beneath the panels resulting in a mound, or the infill will migrate from beneath a panel leaving a hollow zone in the field. To add to the headache, seam malfunctions can cost thousands of dollars to repair.

Testing the Infill and Verifying its Grade

In order to provide for a consistent and safe playing surface, every square foot of FieldTurf contains over six pounds of washed silica sand (similar to the sand found on most beaches) and three pounds of cryogenic rubber infill. With the most infill mass per square foot on the market, FieldTurf’s unique and tested combination keeps the infill firmly in place, while conforming to the Maximum Safety and Performance standards of MSP.

With so much riding on the quality of the seam construction job FieldTurf has chosen to invest in sewn seams rather than the cheaper glued alternative. FieldTurf’s panel seams are sewn with a double lock stitch and FieldTurf has a proven record for fields without seam problems. When it comes to the quality and safety of your field, you can be certain that FieldTurf settles for nothing less than the best materials and most thorough seam installation around.

3rd Party Insured Warranty

Over FieldTurf’s tenure as the industry leader in artificial turf, many competing businesses have come and gone. Many if not all of the companies that have gone out of business have left customers with no one to honor their warranty. This was the case for over five hundred SRI customers. Upon the closure of SRI, all SRI issued warranties were no longer worth the paper they were printed on. From that moment on, all field failures and repair work became the financial responsibility of the customer. Having a third party insured warranty ensures the customer that this will never happen to them.

FieldTurf & Q6

As the industry leader in quality, FieldTurf has always made a point to invest in thorough quality control practices. By meeting the strict requirements of Q6, FieldTurf is able to provide its customers with a product that has been tested and proven for maximum safety, performance and durability.

fieldturf.com

In addition to the constant commitment to exceptional customer care, FieldTurf’s customer service department has assembled a comprehensive manual that covers all field-care issues. Each FieldTurf customer receives a maintenance guide that covers everything from field maintenance to field protection. FieldTurf’s devotion to the customer and their fields can be further confirmed by the extensive line of field-care products and equipment designed specifically for a FieldTurf field.

Customer Service

Customer satisfaction remains FieldTurf’s number one priority. Offering an experienced and dedicated customer service team helps to ensure that the needs of all our customers will be met in a timely and effective manner. Unlike other artificial turf companies, FieldTurf does not sever its customer relations once the contract has been signed. FieldTurf takes the time to follow up with each and every customer in order to ensure complete and consistent customer satisfaction. FieldTurf’s professional customer service agents are always ready to assist with any issues relating to your FieldTurf field. Whether your request is placed by phone or through email, FieldTurf’s customer service department guarantees fast and effective solutions to all your field care needs.

FieldTurf’s insured warranty provides all of our customers with automatic protection of US $7 million per year for repair or replacement with cash reserves already frozen as a precaution. There are no maximums on any claim, no deductibles, no retentions and no retention period. Simply put, it is the best protection in the business. Every FieldTurf field is protected for the full duration of the warranty through a prepaid policy that A.M. Best rates A++ (Superior) and Category XV, the highest rating available.

When it comes to FieldTurf’s quality and warranty the numbers speak for themselves. Since January 2000 FieldTurf has spent over $5,000,000.00 on insurance premiums. Throughout that period no FieldTurf customer has ever filed a claim, a true testament to the company’s Q6 quality control practice. Despite FieldTurf’s flawless track record and top quality product, FieldTurf continues to provide every one of its customers with the best third party insured warranty in the business.

� Ultimate Gmax: The Ultimate Test for Surface Safety

� Ultimate Gmax (test number TSI 1202) is a test that was invented by industry experts Testing Services, Inc based in Dalton, GA.

� The way the test is designed is that an impactor plate, measuring 18” in diameter and weighing approximately 65 pounds is dropped from 10” onto the

diameter and weighing approximately 65 pounds is dropped from 10” onto the sample. A slight rotation is applied to the plate in its upward movement in preparation for the subsequent impacts so that each drop is in a slightly different area.

� After an initial reading and after each 100 subsequent impacts, Gmax data is taken until they equal or are less than the previous reading. It is then, at the highest Gmax reading, prior to reversal, that “Ultimate Gmax” occurs.

� The highest number of impactions with the lowest average Gmax within range represents the safest surface in the lab.
