Easy Grass offers synthetic turf solutions for landscape, playgrounds, pet, golf and sports. Our turf products are all made in the USA by the world's most recognized brands in synthetic turf, SynLawn° and AstroTurf°. Our Easy Grass line of synthetic grass is earth -friendly, 100% recyclable, made with renewable materials and soy -based content. Once installed, the Easy Grass turf allows for increased usability of grass spaces without damage concerns, the toil and trouble of lawn care crews, or high maintenance costs.

Throughout this time, they have proven to be a reliable supplier that provides flawless service and installs the highest quality products —and this outstanding performance continues to open doors to new business. Just this week, Easy Grass was selected by the City of Miami for various lawn -landscaping replacement projects within the municipality. Their client list includes renowned local institutions such as the Fontainebleau Hotel, the Versace Mansion, and the St. Regis Hotel. EasyGrass° provides several styles to choose from all designed to create a natural looking, well manicured appearance all year round -regardless of the weather. All Easy Grass° products are made in the USA, 100% recyclable, free of harmful ingredients and are backed by a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty. Synthetic grass was created with Florida in mind, or at least that's how the founder of Easy Grass felt when he first came across it while attending a National Builder's Trade Show in 2006. Upon his return, he recruited a friend and they both recruited another and today Easy Grass is the fastest growing artificial grass company in the southeast United States. How'd we do it? Simple, product knowledge, service and pricing. Actually, each of the Easy Grass principles walked the talk by first installing artificial grass in their own homes. Having grown up here, we analyzed the market and identified potential segments, set our pricing to grow not gouge and reached out to those who knew our names and trusted our characters. We remain faithful to our original pledge: "we won't be satisfied, until our customers can say -job well done". Artificial grass has come a long way since 1980, when it earned popularity in the United States. The product is now very far from the bright green carpet that is still sold at home improvement stares. Today, the grass is made with polyethylene, with third generation technology such as HeatBlock" Technology and Omega Fiber. EasyGrass natural looking artificial grass Unlike traditional shaped fibers which mat easily, the new superior designed Omega shaped fibers are designed to help turf fibers snap back into their natural upright position, even during constant use. The new dual -post tufted construction coupled with monofilament, polyethylene Omega shaped fibers deliver a dynamically stable product, stronger than ever before. More resiliency means less maintenance! The new fibers also replicate the appearance of natural grass better than ever with less sheen than their predecessors with a de-lustered finish. In addition, new Omega fiber shape naturally refracts light, deflecting heat for cooler surface temperatures, thus working hand in hand with HeatBlockTM Technology. Scientifically proven, I-eatBlockTM Technology lowers rising temperatures on our artificial grass. In the same way dark clothing absorbs more heat than light clothing , synthetic turf can also hold in heat making it uncomfortable when It's hot outside. HeatBlockTM Technology, however, incorporates infrared reflective pigments that help dissipate heat build-up and reduce fiber emissivity by as much as 20% cooler than similar artificial turf products without this feature. Using artificial grass helps environmentally conscience builders and specifiers with LEED® {Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) project certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Using SYINLawn° with EnviroLocTM can contribute LEED® points in the areas of Water Efficient Landscaping, Recycled Content, Rapidly Renewable Material and Innovation in Design. Call or email us for more details. Did you know that according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over one third of household water consumption is used for lawn irrigation, totaling more than 4 billion gallons of water daily? Here is another fact. To keep lawns green, it takes approximately 685 gallons of water to apply f- inch of water over 1,000 square feet of lawn annually. That is a tremendous burden on the world's freshwater supply just to keep the lawn green. How can you make a difference? Consider replacing your natural lawn with artificial grass to eliminate up to 70% of your water consumption. An Easy Grass lawnscape not only gives you a beautiful looking lawn year round without the maintenance, it could also help save our planet. natural looking artificial grass Comparable Projects Robert Herrada Installation of Dec 2012 $242,681 In good standing City of Sweetwater 305-221-0411 Artificial Grass Brasfield & Gorrie Accounts Payable Installation of 407- 562-4500 Artificial Grass City of Miami Rhonda Gracie Installation of Beach 305-673-7000 Artificial Grass at Lincoln Road Mall Jan 2013 $41,467 In good standing Jun 2010 $14,963 In good standing Fontainebleau Rodrigo Carrillo installation of Nov 2012 $91,845 In good standing Resort 305-793-5765 Artificial Grass Marcia Fernandez Business References Ocean Bank 305-266-9500 Rodrigo Carrillo Fontainebleau Resort 305-793-5765 Jorge Ballarena J.B Builders & Contractors 305-441-9118 Rhonda Gracie City of Miami Beach 305-673-7000 Jay Rintelmann Brasfield & Gorrie 407-857-9392 City of Sweetwater Request for Proposal No. 2013-01 "Artificial Turf & Installation" February 20, 2013 natural 1oolcing artificial grass Key Personnel & Organizational Chart v Manuel A.

By following these care and maintenance guidelines, you can help protect your investment and extend the useful life of your SYNLawn brand turf The following procedures are key in helping to preserving your turf. • Keep it clean • Brush periodically • Do not abuse • Report any problems promptly to your SYNLawn dealer I. Keep it Clean A.Dust, pollen, and airborne pollutants Rainfall is the best cleanser. In areas where rainfall is scarce, an occasional water flush is beneficial to cleanse the turf. For lightly soiled areas, it may be necessary to sponge mop with a five (5) percent solution of low sudsing household detergent in warm water followed by a thorough rinsing with warm water. For heavily soiled areas, repeat procedure for lightly soiled areas follow with sponge mopping using a three (3) percent solution of household ammonia in warm water followed by a thorough rinsing with warm water, B. Stains and other blemishes The first rule is promptness. It is always easier to clean up a fresh spill than one that has dried and hardened. Remove any solid or paste -like deposit with a spatula or table knife. Blot up excess liquids with paper towels, a clean cloth, or a dry absorbent, such as kitty litter or fuller's earth. Dry absorbents can then be swept or vacuumed up afterwards. Synthetic fibers have high resistance to staining. However, it is important to realize they are only one part of a sophisticated system of various components designed for overall performance. Some cleaning agents safe for the face fibers can be harmful to other components of the turf system. Therefore, cleaning agents are grouped into two sets, one of which can be used in Iiberal amounts directly on the turf surface, and the secondof which should only be applied by rubbing a cloth soaked in the cleaner in order to minimize penetration of possible harruful agents below the turf surface. In the first group of cleaners which generally can be applied without any special precautions are the following: • Sirnple GreenT , a bio-friendly cleaner. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. • A warm, mild solution of granular household detergent or any low sudsing detergent for fine fabrics. Use approximately one teaspoon of detergent to one pint of water. • This will handle most waterborne stains including: • Ketchup • Butter • Alcohol • Cola • Water colors • Latex paint • Blood • Urine • Dye • Coffee • Tea • Fruit juices • Vegetable juices • Milk • Cocoa • Ice Cream • Mustard • Glue • A three (3) percent solution of ammonia in water may be used in lieu of household detergent for more stubborn stains. • Do not use cleaners that contain chlorine bleaches or caustic cleaners (ph above 9) or highly acidic cleanses (ph below 5). • Rinse area thoroughly with clean warm water to remove any traces of soap or ammonia. • Blot up excessive liquid. The second group of cleaners, where agent must be applied sparingly and care taken to avoid penetration beneath the turf are the following: • Mineral spirits or a grease spot remover like perchlorethylene (dry cleaning solution) of the type sold by most variety stores and supermarkets. In general, cleansers in this category should handle most oil. -based stains including: • Chewing gum • Shoe polish • Lipstick • Paraffin wax • Nail polish • Crayon • Asphalt and tar • Cooking oil • Floor wax • Motor oil & grease • Ballpoint ink • Suntan oil CAUTION: mineral spirits and other petroleum based solvents are flammable. Do not smoke or permit open flames near where these are being used. Be sure the area is well ventilated where solvent cleaners are used. C. Animal waste Neutralize with mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal amount of water. Flush thoroughly with water after application. D. Chewing gum In addition to dry cleaning fluid, chewing gum can be removed by freezing. Aerosol packs of refrigerant are available from most carpet cleaning suppliers for this purpose, or dry ice can be used. After freezing, scrape with a knife. E. Fungus or mold spots A one (1) percent solution of hydrogen peroxide in water can be sponged on to the affected area. Flush thoroughly with clean water after application. F. Oil paints and more difficult stains Please consult your SYNLawn dealer as these may require a commercial carpet cleaner. II. Periodic Brushing Matting of fibers may occur in areas of high foot traffic, especially if fibers have become soiled with dirt and other airborne pollutants. Periodic "cross brushing" of the turf can help restore the aesthetic appearance of the turf. "Cross brushing" means all brushing activity takes place against the grain, nap, or sweep of the turf fibers. By brushing against the turf, the fibers are "fluffed up". A brush with synthetic bristles should be used. Never use a brush with metal or wire bristles as these will change the turf fibers. III. Do Not Abuse Although your SYNLawn brand turf is made of tough, durable fibers, certain precautions should be taken to prevent damage to the turf. Lighted cigarettes cannot ignite the turf, but they can damage the turf by fusing the tips of the fibers together. Cigarettes, fireworks, and open flames should be kept away from the turf. Furniture and equipment with sharp or jagged edges should not be placed on turf as this may puncture or tear the turf. • Never leave a parked vehicle idling on the turf. • Cap off or remove nearby sprinkler heads. Water from sprinkler systems can leave mineral deposits on turf that may cause discoloration. • Make sure turf is not exposed to reflected sunlight windows as this may fuse the turf fibers together. IV. Report any Minor Problems Minor problems can become major problems quickly if not corrected. Any problem should be reported promptly to your Iocal SYNLawn dealer. V. Conclusion The proper care and maintenance program can enhance the aging, usefulness, and aesthetics of your SYNLawn brand turf. Ask your SYNLawn dealer about their low cost maintenance program.

Proposal packages may be picked up from the City of Sweetwater Public Works Department, 10899 SW 4th Street, Sweetwater FL 33174. Questions via email only. Cut-off date for questions is 2 p.m. Friday, February 15, 2013. RFP shall be submitted by 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 20, 2013 to the City Clerk located at Sweetwater City Hall, 500 SW 109th Avenue, Sweetwater, FL 33174. Late bids will be automatically disqualified. Contact eproto@cityofsweetwater.fl.gov. BACKGROUND Over the past several years, many cities have installed the latest generation of synthetic turf on their athletic fields and other open spaces, replacing natural turf. The preliminary results have been overwhelmingly positive, and many more cities have several proposals for additional synthetic turf projects. Cities have made the change because synthetic turf has several advantages over natural turf: (1) The new synthetic turf areas have significantly lowered operating costs because of reduced maintenance labor and material to maintain. Traditional irrigating, fertilizing and mowing, that are required on natural turf areas are not necessary on synthetic turf areas. (2) The new synthetic turf fields or areas increase by 40% to 60% the amount of playable hours. By also utilizing modified field layouts and multi -field overlap capacity, additional hours of play can be actualized. The synthetic turf fields do not have to be closed for long periods of maintenance and rehabilitation, and rarely have to be closed due to rainy weather. Furthermore, unlike their natural turf counterparts, they do not require the imposition of a ceiling on playable hours in order to protect the quality of the field. (3) The new synthetic turf fields have a superior quality playing surface. The flatness and uniformity of the new synthetic turf fields produce venues that provide better and safer recreational opportunities for soccer, baseball, softball and other sports. PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Sweetwater desires to retain the services of a qualified supplier of artificial turf products for various yet to be determined areas within the City. The City may exercise its rights not to pursue such projects at its own discretion and upon lack of funding availability.
