The work involves removing and disposing of the existing track surface, installing a new 13mm red polyurethane synthetic track, adding an 18-inch wide transition strip, and applying precise athletic striping and markings for fitness tests. The contractor must also install start/stop signage and provide a minimum five-year warranty on the new surface.
