• Cracks- Cracks shall be cleaned and filled with concrete and/or acrylic patch binder crackfill material to flush with the existing surface. Crackfill material shall be installed full depth. After crackfill material has dried, joint retarding fabric Marifi Miratac shall then be overlaid on top of the crack repair area. Fabric shall be 1’ wide to minimize reflection of the old cracks into the new base.

• Curbing- A 7” wide concrete curb border shall be constructed at the base of the fence in order to contain the new stone and asphalt base. Curb is immediately adjacent to the inside edge of the fence line. Height of the border shall be at least 6” in order to contain the new stone base. The height of this border will vary owing to the requirement that the slope on the courts be increased to 12” across the courts in line with the nets.

• Fencing- Existing fence shall not be replaced. Fencing shall only be opened up to allow across for construction equipment. Upon completion of paving portion of job, fencing shall be closed back up to and restored to existing condition. Current gate height will be adjusted to allow for elevation change.

• Stone Base: After completion of crack repair, a stone layer shall be installed directly on top of the existing courts. Stone shall be rolled in order to approximate 95% of maximum dry density. No variation of the finished stone base shall be greater than ½" of the desired elevation. Average depth of stone after compaction shall be 6”. The slope of the stone base shall be 1% in order to shed water adequately after a rain.

• Asphalt Base: The asphalt base shall be installed in two layers. The first layer shall be 2.0 inches of binder type asphalt, Tennessee Department of Transportation specification “B”. The thickness of the asphalt layer is measured after compaction. After this first layer of asphalt is installed, a second layer of 1.5 inches in thickness shall be installed over the court area. Specification of the finish layer of asphalt shall be TDOT 411E mix. Rolling of asphalt shall be done so as to accomplish maximum compaction of the asphalt base without any displacement of the mat. All roller marks, tool marks, or imperfections in the asphalt mat shall be rolled out. The planarity of the finished asphalt surface shall not vary more than ¼" in ten feet when measured with a 10’ straight edge. Court shall be flooded or shall be observed after a hard rain in order to ascertain that it drains water in accordance with standard industry guidelines. Any puddles holding more than 1/8” of water after adequate drying (1 Hour after a rain event on a 70 degree day) of the court surface shall be patched prior to application of any surface coatings.

• Hardware: Existing net posts shall be excavated. New net post foundations shall be installed in concrete footings 4’ in depth and 18” in diameter. Relocate foundations such that there is a 12’ between courts and 11.5’ alley outside the courts on both sides. New tennis nets and net posts shall be installed following completion of job. Net strap anchors 1’ in diameter and 2’ in depth shall be poured in concrete to secure the net strap.

• Acrylic Surface: Following a 14-day cure period for the asphalt, a three coat Nova Acrylic surface system shall be installed on the tennis courts. The first coat shall be resurfacer with sand added to fill the pores in the asphalt. Sand shall be added at the rate of 12 pounds per concentrate gallon of resurfacer. The application of the concentrate resurfacer shall be .1 gallon/ square yard of surface area. Resurfacer shall be allowed to fully dry before any succeeding steps are initiated. Resurfacer shall be scraped smooth and any imperfections corrected prior to application of any color coats. Two sand filled color coats shall be installed. The application rate of the color coats shall be .1 gallon/ square yard of surface area for both coats. After surface coatings have fully dried, courts shall be striped according to USTA guidelines for tennis and pickleball.

• Access: Access to the courts shall be from the parking lot. Job Site must be restored to its original condition following completion of work.

• Weather Limitations: no part of the construction shall be conducted unless temperatures are at least 50 degrees, nor shall any construction be done during rainfall.

• Warranty: Contractor shall warrant that all workmanship, design and materials shall be free of defects for a period of one year from the time of substantial completion. If any part of the installation should fail during the warranty period, it shall be replaced or repaired and restored to service at no expense to the owner.

• Silence of Specifications: the apparent silence of any specification or the omission of details from a detailed description concerning any point shall be regarded as meaning that only the nest commercial practices are to prevail and only materials of first quality and correct type, size and design are to be used. All workmanship is to be first quality. Guidelines as provided by the American Sports Builder’s Association are expected to be followed to serve as a minimum industry standard.
