TOWN OF LOS GATOS
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 09/17/2024 ITEM NO: 8
DATE: September 12, 2024
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Katy Nomura, Interim Town Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Interim Town Manager to Execute an Agreement with Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. in the Amount of $37,135 to Assess and Evaluate
Artificial Turf and Natural Grass at Creekside Sports Park (CIP Project 831-
4404)
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Interim Town Manager to execute an agreement with Kimely-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (Attachment 1) in the amount of $37,135 to assess and evaluate artificial turf
and natural grass at Creekside Sports Park (CIP Project 831-4404).
BACKGROUND:
The Town of Los Gatos Capital Improvement Programs calls for the replacement of the artificial
turf at Creekside Sports Park. Replacement of artificial is required approximately every 10 years
as the synthetic material wears down over time. The synthetic material at this field is now 12
years old and its condition is deteriorating.
This project was partially funded in 2023. During development of the proposed Capital Budget
for Fiscal Year 2024/25, staff noted that additional funding was needed for the work to move
forward. Town Council heard concerns from the community regarding the potential health and
environmental impacts of the materials used in the fabrication of artificial turf. Additional
funding was not added to the project.
DISCUSSION:
Staff sought cost proposals from three firms on the Parks and Public Works list of on-call
consultants to provide an assessment of the use of artificial turf versus natural grass for
PAGE 2 OF 3 SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Agreement with Kimley-Horn DATE: September 12, 2024
Creekside Sport Park. Kimley-Horn was the only respondent of the three firms from which
proposals were sought.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) provided a comprehensive proposal to evaluate
the pros and cons of the two field types, provide a comparison of construction costs for
replacing the artificial turf versus reconstructing the field with natural grass, and to assess the
long-term operating cost of the two field types. Staff is recommending that the Town enter into
agreement with Kimley-Horn to complete this analysis. Result of their work will be presented
to Town Council for consideration.
CONCLUSION:
Executing the agreement will allow staff to present an evaluation to Town Council regarding the
use of artificial turf versus natural grass for the Creekside Sports Park.
COORDINATION:
This report has been coordinated with the Town Manager’s Office and the Finance Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is sufficient funding in the Adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 – 2028/29 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) Budget to cover the agreement with Kimley Horn for the Creekside
Turf Replacement Project. The total projected cost to replace the artificial turf was $1 million in
2022. At this time the cost is estimated to be $1.2 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.

RE: Task Order Proposal for the Artificial Turf Replacement Assessment at Creekside Sports Park
(CIP 831-4404)
Dear Ms. Burnham and Members of the Selection Committee:
The Town of Los Gatos (Town) has used artificial turf from AstroTurf at Creekside Sports Park since 2013. However,
since this turf is nearing the end of its life and new concerns regarding the environmental and health impacts of artificial
turf fields have been raised by community members, the Town seeks to evaluate the advantages and risks of using
synthetic versus natural turf. In order to achieve this goal, the Town requires the support of a qualified partner to assist
in this evaluation. Kimley-Horn is excited about the opportunity this project presents for the community and is confident
our approach, experience, and expertise will make this project a success.
Kimley-Horn’s landscape architects have extensive experience assessing and designing playing fields using both
synthetic and natural materials. For example, we assisted with the design of the Home Depot Backyard, located in
the existing Georgia Dome footprint north of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of this project,
our landscape architects designed a natural turf field to accommodate youth soccer, multi-use recreation, 800 tailgate
parking spaces for game days, flex spaces for picnics, and pedestrian circulation to the stadium. To provide the best
recommendations for a drivable grass lot, a test site was constructed and evaluated for six months. Three different
base treatment solutions paired with the same turf were tested, which evaluated the sod layer infiltration rate, rootzone
layer infiltration rate, and rootzone uniformity coefficient. We also assisted Albemarle County, Virginia with a Synthetic
Turf Study at Darden Towe Park in which we presented findings and observations from research and case studies
relating to the pros and cons associated with the installation and maintenance of synthetic turf fields for their athletic
facilities.
As a supplement to our in-house capabilities, we have partnered with Berry, Dunn, McNeil, & Parker, LLC (BerryDunn),
a leading consulting firm with a specialization in parks and recreation master plans, strategic plans, needs analyses,
financial analyses, cost recovery, and quality assessments. BerryDunn’s team members have worked for multiple
agencies in California and around the country, managed organizations (specifically facilities operations and
maintenance), and are familiar with what it takes to manage and maintain sports fields. Most recently, BerryDunn
worked on the Indoor Sports Facility Feasibility Study and Operational Costs project for the Grand Forks Park
District in Grand Forks, North Dakota. For this project, BerryDunn conducted a feasibility study assessing a new
300,000 square foot indoor sports complex that would host indoor lacrosse, football, and soccer practices and
tournaments. The BerryDunn team conducted nine stakeholder focus groups with 75 stakeholders and an open public
webinar that had 77 participants, for a total of 152 community members included in the public engagement meetings.
Additionally, their team conducted a complete feasibility study including site analysis, indoor sports facility and aquatic
facility development, operations and maintenance costs, funding mechanisms, financing opportunities and other
funding alternatives, most cost-effective operating model, and the most productive mixture of

programs/facilities/amenities. Coupling our nationwide expertise with BerryDunn’s, we will provide an accurate
assessment and recommendation for the best path forward for the Town to consider.
When Kimley-Horn is involved in a project, we become the client’s advocate. We don’t just look at what it takes to
“check the boxes” on a project—we look at what it takes to help our clients surpass their initial goals while remaining
on schedule and within budget. We appreciate your consideration of the Kimley-Horn team, and we are excited about
the opportunity to bring our experience and expertise to assist the Town with this important project.

please do not hesitate to contract project manager Matthew Morgan, PLA, ASLA, CLARB directly at 408.785.3518

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1. Assessment of Capital Costs & Environmental Impacts
1.1: Concept Level Cost Estimate for Artificial Turf Replacement
Kimley-Horn will prepare one (1) concept-level cost estimate for the replacement of the existing artificial turf with new artificial turf. At present there are no known issues or concerns with the underdrainage.
1.2: Concept Level Cost Estimate for Artificial Turf Removal
Kimley-Horn will prepare one (1) concept-level cost estimate to remove the artificial turf field and construct a new
natural grass field. The cost estimate will include design costs and appropriate contingencies.
Kimley-Horn will coordinate with the Town to confirm typical contingencies used by the Town for costing exercises.
This task assumes up to one (1) round of revisions in response to consolidated and reasonable Town comments.
Additional rounds of revisions shall be accommodated as an additional service at our then-current hourly rates.
1.3: Environmental and Planning Constraints and Benefits Assessment
Kimley-Horn will assess planning and environmental considerations associated with the use and construction of
artificial turf fields versus natural grass fields. This information will be based on a literature search on the subject and
CEQA analyses conducted by Kimley-Horn staff for similar projects (such as a proposed artificial turf facility in Portola
Valley). Issues and concerns raised by decision makers and the public on similar projects have included:
Project visibility, appearance and color as seen from public viewpoints
Toxicity of materials used in turf and crumb rubber fill materials
VOCs and off gassing
Water quality and drainage controls
Heat generation
Greenhouse gasses
General Plan policy consistency
Material renewability and lifespan/lifecycle
Pathogens and allergies
In our experience many of these issues are likely to be insignificant based on the results of available studies and
continuous improvements to turf products. This information will be compiled for planning-level consideration. Detailed
studies and/or CEQA review of the project will be scoped and budgeted separately upon request.
Task 2. Assessment of Operating Costs
2.1: Discovery
