I just received Addendum #3 from Gateway Engineers. The "safe"lead limits in the specifications are:
1. Changes to specifications:
1.1. Changes to Specification Section 02900- Artificial Turf, Section 1.4 Quality Assurance,
Item C. Lead and other metals. REQUIRED PRIOR WITH MATERIAL
SUBMISSIONS: Add 1. Lead content in synthetic turf fibers must be less than 8 ppm.
1.2. Changes to Specification Section 02900- Artificial Turf, Section 1.4 Quality Assurance,
Item C. Lead and other metals. REQUIRED PRIOR WITH MATERIAL
SUBMISSIONS: Add 2. Lead content in rubber infill must be less than 50 ppm.
2. Clarifications:
2.1. The synthetic turf materials are to be tested prior to delivery to the site and must contain less than 8 ppm of lead for fibers and less than 50 ppm of lead for crumb rubber. This limit falls well within the ASTM, EPA, and CDC threshold for lead levels.

Note to Commission and Municipal Staff: THERE ARE NO SAFE LEAD LEVELS
