My question is, once most or all the seed is germinated, how much should
I water? I had been watering 4X a day to keep the seed bed damp at all
times as instructed by the lawncare company. I have a sprinkler system,
so watering is no problem.

4 times a day sounds like way overkill to me. It's just not necessary.
For the first week after it germinates, once a day. After that 2 or 3
times a week for the next couple weeks. But I don't know where you live
or your soil, so I assume it goes without saying to check with the company
you bought from, or the seed company.

4X a day may not be too much. Other than soil type and geographical
location. Depends on whether there's overcast/cloudy all day, humidity,
direct sun all day, direct sun exposure time, actual temperature, weather
aided moisture with rain/drizzle and so forth. Bare soil is difficult to
keep moist on the immediate surface in most conditions. That's where the
seed is.
