Proposals are encouraged to incorporate more than the minimums for adaptive/inclusive equipment where practical. The P&R Committee has selected some examples of adaptive/inclusive equipment that they preferred and encourages proposals to utilize similarly styled equipment but welcomes other ideas as well. ADA qualifying fall zone protection and accessible route surfacing should be included in your proposal where necessary to accommodate adaptive/inclusive equipment. All equipment and materials must be chosen from those pre-approved through the StateÓs Cooperative Purchasing Venture (State Bid). Review and evaluate each piece of existing play equipment and propose to either: o Remove and dispose of the equipment o Salvage and deliver to alternate park location for reinstallation by others o Leave in place, refurbish and incorporate into the new playground Meet all applicable standards for playgrounds and playground equipment. Complete the work during the 2025 construction season. Existing Conditions The city does not have a topographic survey of the site. Proposers will need to rely on aerial photos and available contours. The city does not have soil borings in the area. Our soils here are often heavy clay with perched water lenses. Full-depth frost footings are a minimum consideration along with an underdrain system. There are very few utilities in the area. A GSOC Ticket is, of course, a necessity but we do not anticipate major utility conflicts. A trail system exists in the area. The proposal should include any connections to that system. Pre-Proposal Meeting The city will host a pre-proposal meeting, on-site, to answer any questions you may have. A representative from your firm should attend. All questions asked at the meeting will be logged and a formal, written response will be distributed to all proposing firms, prior to the submittal deadline. Proposal Due Date/Time The official Request for Proposals will be sent out, via email, on February 6, by the end of the workday. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM on February 26 and may be hand- delivered to City Hall or emailed to tbender@centervillemn.com. Late proposals will not be considered. Contract Award It is anticipated that the evaluation panel will put forth a recommendation to the P&R Committee at their regular meeting on April 2. The City Council will, then, consider the recommendations of the P&R Committee at their April 23 meeting.
