Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) with its head offices in Fort McMurray, Alberta, invites proposals from qualified and experienced proponents for the Design Build of three playground modules. Two of the modules are existing and one module will be a new addition to the existing playground. The Municipality is seeking creative design concepts for inclusive wheelchair accessible modules and features that allows all kids to play together, no matter the age or ability while still providing exciting and thrilling play. Additionally, we would like to include sensory features to provide a variety of play experiences. Proposed equipment should be appealing to both disabled and ablebodies users and families. The two existing modules are the liberty swings located in the Dickinsfield neighborhood between Ecole Dickinsifeld and Sister Mary Phillips schools and one in the lower townsite located between Dr. K.A. Clark and Our Lady of the River (former J.A. Father Turcotte) schools. The goal of project is to eliminate the fencing and provide equipment that is inclusive and allows for the children to interact and socialize with their peers. The existing borders are wooden and will require replacement with concrete borders. The new addition for Walter and Gladys Hill School has a similar project goal of providing a wheelchair accessible feature that promotes inclusivity and interaction between children. When consulting with the school, they have requested more swings and age-appropriate equipment as this playground is designated for the division 1 grades (Kindergarten to Grade 1). For this project we will be expanding the existing module to accommodate the addition. Proposals shall include playground concepts, layout and drainage concepts. Proposals are to include costs outlining services for pre-design, survey, detailed design, construction and installation responsibilities, construction supervision, safety requirements and production of asbuilt drawings.
