Description

Canyons School District is seeking market feedback, technical product specifications, and manufacturer guidance from artificial turf manufacturers and distributors. The district is reviewing specifications for playground turf installation, repair, and grooming at its facilities, where turf is overlaid on existing poured-in-place rubber or modular rubber tiles. It seeks a uniform turf system across the play surface that can meet both ASTM F1292 impact attenuation and ASTM F1951 ADA accessibility requirements, without separate cut-in paths or transition strips. Vendors are asked to comment on draft material parameters, system feasibility, substrate compatibility, padding, adhesives, infill, and thermal mitigation.
