M:\CHANHAS'xPLA YSTUC~NDHO USESINFOBID.DOC © Hoisington Koegler Group Inc., 1998 Round House Park Play Structure IB - 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. GENERAL The project to be proposed on consists of furnishing new modular play equipment, resilient rubberized surfacing necessary for handicap accessibility and a construction supervisor for two days. All improvements are for a play area within Round House Park in the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota. The type and layout of play equipment is to be defined in a plan provided by the Bidder. The intended perimeter and location of the play area is defined in the enclosed plan. Concrete playground edger will be provided by the Owner. The play structure will have two phases. Phase one ($25,000) is currently being proposed on and is to target the 5-12 age group. The second phase will be purchased by the City at an undetermined time in the future. The budget for phase two is $20,000 assuming the City installs the equipment. The proposer is requested to submit, with their bid, a layout design of both phases. Phase two is to target toddlers and be minimally handicapped accessible. Neighborhood volunteers will install the play equipment according to plans prepared by the successful bidder and with guidance from a construction supervisor provided for up to two full days. The new structure will be minimally handicapped accessible according to the criteria of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1992 with creative play opportunities for children ages 5 to 12 and all levels of physical ability. All play components and layouts shall be 1PEMA Certified validating conformance to ASTM F1487-95. The Owner and Contractor will coordinate timing aspects of installation. Resilient surfacing shall be included in the design and bid to provide a handicapped accessible path between the transfer platform, selected play components and the path leading to the play area. Surfacing shall be in tile form as opposed to poured-in-place to allow installation by the Owner. Recent playgrounds installed in Chanhassen have consumed significantly more land than originally intended. This has, in some cases, led to sprawling and unsightly expanses of playground surfacing not to mention added costs for the border. We realize that fall zone requirements are high but we strongly encourage bidders to increase play value in a smaller amount of space and, as much as · '~ossible, design both phase one and two within the size and shape of land designated on the plan. 2. PROPOSAL FORM The proposal form requests the amount of equipment and materials that can be provided for a lump sum price of $25,000. This amount should include all costs which would be incurred to accomplish the project according to the Plans and Specifications including equipment and materials, resilient surfacing, construction supervisor, sales tax, delivery and any other incidental items): 3.

The Phase I playground will include equipment designed for children ages 5-12 years of age. A furore Phase 1i will address the needs and skills of children ages 3-5 years. This important distinction ~vas agreed upon at a neighborhood meeting held at City Hall on March 15, 1998. On Monday, May 11, 1998, proposals will be received for the playground's design. An investment of $25,000 is being made in the first playground phase. Cinda Jensen will be hosting a meeting at her home at 2173 Brinker Street, on Tuesday, May 12, 1998 at 7:00 p.m., allowing neighbors the opportunity to select their favorite design. The neighborhood will also have the opportunity to name the park at this meeting. Proposals are being solicited from five companies. Upon selecting one of the proposals, the neighborhood's recommendation will be forwarded to the Park & Recreation Commission on May 19'" for confirmation. The equipment will be ordered shortly thereafter, focusing on an August-September installation. At present, the playground's installation is planned to be accomplished as a neighborhood project. A labor pool of 10-15 volunteers working two 6-8 hour days is needed. Are you willing to assume the role of an installation volunteer? We will assemble a list of volunteers at the May 12'~ meeting. Volunteer labor allows approximately $3,000-$4,000 in savings to be invested back into the playground. I look forward to seeing you on the 12'h at Ms. Jensen's home.
