Lake Ann Park is the City's oldest and most established community park. The new playground will replace an existing redwood play structure located on a hill at the hub of four of seven ball fields and situated adjacent to a park shelter structure. The primary audiences for this structure are the children of adults participating in adult sporting leagues and the siblings of children participating in youth athletic activities. The busiest times for the playground are weekends and weekday evenings. Limited day use by Site Map Meadow Green Park Playground Meadow Green Park - Meadow Green Park, located at 921 Pontiac Lane, is classified as a neighborhood park, but due to the presence of a large ball field area, serves a larger audience than a "typical" neighborhood park. The park is 13 acres in size and contains an existing redwood play structure (to be removed), ball fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, trails and parking for approximately 30 cars. On a typical summer evening, dozens of additional cars are parked "on- street" as people make their way to scheduled ball games. Consistent daytime and weekend use of this park and Meadow Green Site Map Bandimere Community Park Playground Bandimere Community Park- Bandimere Community Park, located at 9405 Great Plains Blvd. (Hwy 101), is a 38-acre community Park situated south of downtown Chanhassen on Highway 101. Bandimere Park is the City's newest community park, being completed in 1998. The park is home to six ball fields, an existing play structure (to remain), trails and parking for over 250 vehicles. Evening and weekend use of the ball fields is extremely heavy with playground use consistent with the patterns described for Lake Ann Park during these times. The existing playground is also used a great deal during the day and is supported by convenient parking.

Thank you for volunteering to act as the selection committee for the city's 2004 playground projects. We are purchasing three playgrounds--the largest for Lake Ann Park, the next largest for Meadow Green Park, and the smallest for Bandimere Community Park. The playground at Bandimere will be the second at the park and is designed for children ages 3-5. We requested a "themed" structure. The other two playgrounds will replace existing playgrounds and are designed for children ages 5-12. Tonight is not a bidding or price competition. It is a design and quality competition. Each consultant was asked to present a design for each playground using the following budget numbers for playground equipment: Lake Ann Playground $ 65,000 Meadow Green Park $ 35,000 Bandimere Community Park $ 25,000 Total $125,000 Your task is to select what you believe is the best proposal based upon design and quality. Consultants were asked to prepare and present their best three designs using the budget allocated for each site. Upon your selection of a manufacturer, the City will put this project out for bid. Most City purchases over $50,000 must be publicly bid. Obviously the selected manufacturer will bid the project; but other manufacturers may also bid the project by submitting a proposal offering an equivalent product. The group has a variety of options regarding the deliberations necessary to make the selection. Depending upon your reaction to the presentations, you may be able to name a selected manufacturer immediately following the presentations. If you feel a discussion of the merits of each is necessary, you can elect to stay after the presentations to talk things over. If committee members wish to tour existing playground locations for all or selected manufacturers, you can table the meeting to a time convenient for a group tour. I would like to have your decision by April 6th.

Tubing Steel Tubing Tubing shall be cold rolled, electric resistance welded tubing. Tubing shall be triple coated for maximum exterior protection: a hot-dipped Fie-Coat® uniform zinc galvanized coating, a chromate conversion coating and a clear polymer coating. Tubing shall have a corrosion resistant, zinc-rich paint interior coating. ASTM Specifications: A-315, A-500, A-513, E-8. Aluminum Tubing (Support Post and Sleeve) Shall be extruded 6061-T6 extruded seamless aluminum alloy tubing. ASTM Specifications: A-315, A-500, A-513, B-221, QQ-A-200/8, E-8. Aluminum Tubing (Arch) Shall be an all welded assembly fabricated of 6063-T4 extruded seamless aluminum alloy tubing. Sup~_e_rdur_a_ble Polyester Powder Coat Finish Powder coating is electrostatically applied at a thickness of 2 to 5 mils (.002 - .005). Powder coating produces a highly decorative finish having a hard, smooth surface, which is resistant to abrasion, corrosion, and mechanical damage. All galvanized tubing has a factory-applied clear acrylic polymer coating. All components shall be free of excess weld and weld spalls. After fabrication all weld joints are to thoroughly cleaned using a chipping hammer and wire brush to remove all weld slag from weld joint. Prior to finishing, components shall be cleaned with a three-stage alkaline bath and a ECLPS 2400 sealer for adhesion and rust inhibitor during the preparation process. Components are thoroughly dried before being coated with Superdurable TGIC polyester powder and are cured at temperatures between 375° and 400° F. Epoxy or hybrid paints are not acceptable. Finish quality conforms to ASTM Specifications: B-117 (Salt Spray Resistance Test), D-2794 (Impact Resistance Test), D-1734 (Mandrel Flexibility Test), D-2247 (Humidity Resistance Test), D-822 (Weatherability Test), D-3363 (Pencil Hardness Test), D-3359~B (Crosshatch Adhesion Test), and D-2454 (Overbake Resistance Test) D-522 (Conical Mandrel), D-523 (Gloss - 60°). Standard durability of polyester powder coatings typically retain 80% of their original gloss after 1 year, and 50% of their original gloss after 18 months of Florida outdoor exposure. Superdurable polyester powder coatings typically retain 90% of their original gloss after 1 year, and 50% of their original gloss after five years of Florida outdoor exposure. Expect superdurable colors to retain 80% of their gloss after 2 years of outdoor exposure. These coatings are also shaded with high grade, light stable pigments and will shift less than 2dE in color after 2 years. P!ayArmour~) Finish PlayArmour~ application shall be from 80 to 100 mils on all coated parts except chain. Chain application shall be from 60 to 100 mils. Adhesion spring test shall be - 11 lbs. minimum. Tensile strength shall be no less than 2500 psi, elongating no less than 290%. Tear strength shall be no less than 420 lbs./inch. Hardness shall be Shore A, of no less than 85 durometer, +/-2 durometer. Prior to coating, components shall be thoroughly cleaned in a hot pressure washer, and phosphatized. This http:,¥psibbs/Productln fo/Spec/genspec2.asp 2/l 9/2004 Pa~ 2 of ~ allows surfaces to fully accept primer. Components are primed with a clear acrylic thermosetting solution. Before dipping, parts shall be preheated to minimum 350o F, to fully activate primer to accept PlayArmour~) coating. Components are dipped in a ultraviolet (UV) stabilized, liquid PlayArmour~, then salt bath cured. Salt bath cures provide better resistance to fading and cracking creating a longer life expectancy. Salt bath cures also eliminate sharp point hazards by softening the drip marks created by immersion into the vinyl solution. Salt bath curing process produces a higher quality product by providing better heat transfer over the entire part which assures a uniform temperature and even cure. The PlayArmoucD coated parts shall have a textured finish for enhanced traction. Installation Instructions Explicit installation instructions shall be provided which will include a detailed top view and footing drawings plus written instructions to assure proper installation of the equipment. Maintenance guidelines and inspection checklists shall also be provided. The provided installation instructions and maintenance instructions shall be "project" specific containing component information that are part of the playground design.

Tenzalloy (40-E, 315.0) is not acceptable as a load bearing clamp material. Ultimate tensile strength shall be 40 ksi. Yield strength shall be 21 ksi. Finished with a 420 m~cro finish and a baked on polyester powder coating. (See Powder Coat Finish) Clamps shall be provided as hinged assemblies to facilitate structure assembly. Clamps are to be permanently fastened to the support post with a drive rivet to eliminate disassembly and slippage. ASTM Specifications: B-26. Federal Specifications: QQ-A-601. Because a hinged clamp design provides the easiest and most flexible installation, clamps which incorporate a slip-through design or clamping devices that use a "bolt through" design are not acceptable. The use of two (2) piece steel half clamps are not acceptable due to poor weatherability and inherent rust problem. RockBIocks RockBIocks shall have a realistic stone texture and finish. RockBIocks shall provide molded through holes for mounting hand grips having a surrounding wall thickness of .25". RockBIocks Structure shall be rotationally molded from first quality GranitteTM polyethylene and be manufactured from color-compounded resins having solid color molecules for UV and impact resistant.
