The 2004 Capital Improvement Program includes a new playground for
Bandimere Community Park and playground replacements for Lake Ann Park
and Meadow Green Park. The total budget for the three playgrounds is
$215,000. Up to $125,000 of the total has been allocated for the purchase of
play equipment. The remaining $90,000 or less will be invested in concrete
playground containers and either rubber or wood fiber resilient surfacing.
On March 4, 2004, a request for proposals for preparation of site plan
concepts was forwarded to five different playground manufacturers'
representatives. Four of the five chose to submit proposals.
On March 30' 2004, a playground selection committee composed of four
current and one former Park and Recreation Commissioner met to review
presentations from each of the four respondents. Prior to the interviews,
members of the Committee were mailed copies of all the design proposals.
Their charge was to select the playground designs that provided the best value
to the City.
Following the presentations, the committee forwarded the following
recommendation:
Regarding the purchase of playgrounds under $50,000

Sales and manufactured by Little Tikes Commercial Play Systems.
The playground for Meadow Green Park be purchased from Midwest
Playscapes and manufactured by Playworld Systems.
Regarding the bidding of playgrounds over $50,000
The playground design for Lake Ann Park submitted by Flanagan Sales be
utilized as the basis for a future bidding specification soliciting competitive
bids for the Lake Ann Park playground. (Note: this item will appear on the 4-
26-04 Council agenda (which is budgeted at $90,000 in this year's CIP).

Re:
Request for Proposals for Preparation of Site Plan Concepts for New
Playground Structures at Lake Ann Park, Meadow Green Park, and
Bandimere Park
The City of Chanhassen 2004 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes
the installation of three (3) new playground structures. Two of these are
replacing existing play structures. The third is a new installation to
complement the existing play structure at Bandimere Park. Your firm is
invited to submit proposed playground designs for the installation of
playground structures at each of these locations.
The objective of this request for proposals is to select one approved equipment
manufacturer. The intent of the City is to select one vendor for all three
projects, and that the approved playground design for all three will be publicly
bid in a subsequent bid package. This bid package will include the equipment,
tax and freight.
NOTE: This request is only for the equipment portion of the project. The
installation, container, and safety surfacing are not to be included in this
proposal.
Your proposal must include equipment designs for all three projects.
Proposals that do not include all three will not be considered.
All playground design proposals will be reviewed by a five member
playground selection committee.

Lake Ann Park Playground
Lake Ann Park - Lake Ann Park, located at 7500 Lake Ann
Park Drive, is a 100-acre community park located just west
of downtown Chanhassen. 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

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

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.

TO: Jack Spizale, Tom Kelly, Anne Murphy, Steve Schaffenberg, and
Jim Manders
DATE: March 30, 2004
SUB J: Tonight's Playground Presentations
Good evening. 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.

General Specifications
tq::Playworld Systems, Inc. Thursda), February 19. 2004
Material
All materials shall have a demonstrated record of durability in the playground or similar outdoor setting. All metals shall be
painted, galvanized, or otherwise treated to prevent rust. Black steel is not acceptable.
Hardware
All required hardware for assembly of the structure shall be included. All fasteners shall be18-8 grade stainless steel. (300
series) Capped lock nuts which cover bolts ends shall be included. Tamper-resistant hardware is utilized on principle
clamping mechanisms. Special tools shall be provided for assembly and maintenance. Clamp connection disassembly and
slippage is eliminated by using drive rivets. Physical locking devices are used on all exposed and accessible connection
points, such as lock nuts. A nylon thread-locking patch is applied to certain hardware. Liquid thread-lock is also used to
hinder fastener removal.
Die Cast Clamps
Clamps shall be die cast of high strength 380 aluminum alloy. Tenzalloy (40-E, 315.0) is not acceptable as a load bearing
clamp material. Ultimate tensile strength shall be 47 ksi. Die casting operation shall be quality sampled every hour. Clamps
shall be provided as hinged assemblies to facilitate structure assembly. Unique S-lap design eliminates all string
entanglement points at connection. Single bolt fastening system with built-in threads to eliminate T nuts and simplify
installation. Clamps are to be permanently fastened to the support post with a drive rivet to eliminate disassembly and
slippage. Double banded design provides the highest clamping pressure around the entire clamp. Finished with a shot blast
and a baked on polyester powder coating. ASTM Specifications: B-85. (See Powder Coat Finish)
Rotationally Molded Plastic Parts
Shall be rotationally molded from color-compounded, first quality, linear Iow density, polyethylene. Dry-blended or molded-in
resins are not acceptable. Color-compounded polyethylene are 23 times stronger than dry blended resins providing better
bonded strength with greater surface contact. Compounded color provides superior colorfastness, UV resistance, and impact
resistance with solid color molecules. Polyethylene shall be ultraviolet (UV) stabilized to UV-8 and have anti-static additives.
Cross-sectional design shall be .25 in. (6 mm) nominal thickness, double wall construction. ASTM Specifications: D-1238
(Melt Index), D-1505 (Material Density), D-638 (Tensile Strength), D-648 (Heat Distortion Temperature) D-790 (Flexural
Modulus), D-1693 (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance), D-2565 (Ultraviolet). Meets UL94HB Horizontal Burn Test. Shall
meet Arm Test for impact strength (@ minus 40°C) (.25 in. thickness). Shall meet color change criteria (QUV 500 hours per
SAE 1960-89).
Tubing
Steel Tubing Tubing shall be cold rolled, electric resistance welded tubing. Tubing shall be triple coated for maximum exterior
protection: a hot-dipped FIo-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.
Superdur_a_bl .e__pgJyester 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.
PlayArmour~ 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/Productlntb/Spec/genspec2.asp 2/19,'2004
Page 2 of 2
allows surfaces to fully accept primer. Components are primed with a clear acrylic thermosetting solution. Before dipping,
parts shall be preheated to minimum 350° F, to fully activate primer to accept PlayArmour~P 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 PlayArmoun~) 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. A "generic" package of installation instruction and maintenance
instructions are not acceptable.
Cast Almag Clamps
Shall be cast of high strength Almag 35 (535.0-F) aluminum alloy. 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.
RockBlocks
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. Dry blended or molded-in resins are not acceptable. Color-compounded GranitteTM polyethylene is 23 times
stronger than dry blended resins providing better bonding strength with greater surface contact. GranitteTM polyethylene shall
be UV stabilized to UV-8 and also have anti-static additives. RockBIocks shall have a cross-sectional design with a minimum
wall thickness of .25" and a double wall construction. Flat sheet plastic construction is not acceptable. RockBIocks shall meet
the following ASTM Specifications: D-1238 (Melt Index), D-1505 (Material Density), D-638 (Tensile Strength), D-648 (Heat
Distortion Temperature), D-790 (Flexural Modulus), D-1693 (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance), and D-2565
