** As of June 21, 2024 “The owner has determined a prequalified list of design build companies.** Scope of Work A. Project Overview: The City of Hayward is soliciting Proposals from qualified playground equipment manufacturers and/or vendors (Vendors) to design, provide, and install playground equipment to replace existing play structures at two existing City park locations, as detailed in this Request for Proposals (RFP). The type and quantity of equipment desired varies by location. In general, the City is looking for unique play equipment with engaging features and high play value that will encourage physical activity and enhance motor skill development. Equipment design must meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and utilize International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) certified equipment that meets or exceeds all federal and state guidelines, and conforms to the playground-related technical standards set by the American Society of Testing Materials International (ASTM) and the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. The appropriate drainage systems, grading, and accessibility features should be included. 1. Project Description: a. The City desires to award individual contracts by location to a qualified contractor to design, provide, and install playground equipment to replace existing play structures at two City parks. Staff is looking for a turn-key proposal to include all aspects of the play structure replacement project. In addition to the design, fabrication and installation of the new play structures with ADA compliant ramps at each location, proposals should also include the removal of existing playground, bark and any associated infrastructure required to allow the new installation of the new play structures. Due to uncertainties around the costs of the proposals to be received, staff is requesting that each proposal include itemized budget pricing for two different play surface materials. Each location should include itemized budget estimates for the installation of ADA compliant engineered wood fiber (EWF) and poured-in-place rubber flooring (PIPRF). The selected Vendor(s) will be required to coordinate with City staff on the installation of the selected playground equipment to minimize the duration of playground closures. Vendors are invited to submit Proposals with playground equipment designs for any or all of the playground locations identified in this RFP. A minimum of two (2) playground equipment designs per surface type (EWF and PIPRF) per location will need to be submitted. The City reserves the right to award contracts for equipment at separate locations to different responsive Vendors.
