The indoor soccer fields at the Libertyville Sports Complex will soon have new turf surfaces.
Libertyville trustees voted unanimously Tuesday night to award a contact for the turf replacement project to FieldTurf USA, Inc., for just over $167,352.
The existing turf was installed when the Sports Complex was built in 2002 and has exceeded its anticipated eight-year lifespan, according to village board meeting documents.
"The turf has required significant maintenance and repair over the past several years and is now due for replacement," according to board meeting documents.
The village received two bids for the project—one from FieldTurf and the other from AstroTurf, LLC. The amount of the latter bid was just under $181,929.
The 2013-14 budget includes $170,000 for the turf replacement project.
The work is set to be done just after Labor Day.
