Sufficient budget should be allocated in all projects for the following: MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT: mowers, fertilizers, etc. FOOTBALL EQUIPMENT: goal posts, corner flags, nets, etc. INDEPENDENT EXPERT ADVICE When budgeting, it is important to consider not only the initial capital cost of the project but also on-going running costs. The playing surface should generate sufficient revenue to cover its operating expenditure including maintenance, staffing, utilities, supplies, depreciation and planned replacement or renovation. Budget allowances for more intensive, period maintenance or full surface rejuvenation (football turf) must be included. In addition, surface replacement costs should be considered and budgeted for. Understanding maintenance equipment requirements The long-term sustainability of any playing surface depends heavily on regular maintenance. It is critical that this is budgeted for from the start of the project. Prospective contractors should include the equipment required to maintain the playing surface adequately in their proposals. 6
If not already owned, minimum equipment requirements would include: Natural turf: Tractor with mounted sprayer, brush & rake and fertilizer spreader Ride-on Triplex mower Deep spiker Aerator Scarifier Tines Turf slitter Sand spreader and spinner Multiseeder/stitch-seeder Line marker Sweeper Assorted hand-tools Access to a turf nursery/local turf supplier will also be required. The cost of this equipment should not exceed 20% of the total project cost. Football turf: Tractor Triangle brush Drag mat Ball roll/rebound measuring device The cost of this equipment should not exceed 5% of the total project cost. The maintenance schedule for a football turf surface should always follow manufacturer guidelines using only approved equipment. Dayto-day maintenance may be supplemented with more comprehensive periodic maintenance by the manufacturer or an approved maintenance team. Failure to follow manufacturer guidelines may affect the warranty. Futsal and beach soccer courts require little day-to-day maintenance and therefore little specialized equipment: Futsal courts should be brushed, mopped and cleaned with mild detergent, dependent on the chosen surface and the recommendations/guidelines of the supplier/installation company Beach soccer courts can be maintained using hand-tools (rake and shovels) to ensure the surface is level and free of hazards 7
