JUSTIFICATION: Over their service life, sports facilities eventually wear to the point where completerefurbishment is necessary and ongoing maintenance efforts are no longer effective to maintain safe,playable conditions. For fields, overly compacted soils result in inconsistent surface slopes that affectsafety and reduce the playability of a field, unhealthy turf due to lack of available nutrients within thecompacted soil, and storm water and irrigation drainage issues such as poor drainage and puddles, whichcontribute to reduced field availability. For courts, paving cracks or heaves over time can affect safety andplayability, fences wear or are damaged beyond reasonable repair, and amenities such as player benches
