No, there are no ground bolts.

6. When removing the playground equipment, the rubber tiles will be removed around the bolted areas of the playground equipment. When removing the rubber tiles, is there an area to put a dumpster? The matting around the supports will have to be removed, but the rubber tiles will remain intact. The zipties will have to be cut and disposed of and there is a dumpster available, new zipties will have to be used to replace all that are cut.

Damaged equipment should be replaced with new like items.

9. Is there a specific schedule when relocating the playground equipment? This will help us determine if we must store all the equipment or immediately relocate the equipment. The new location is an active construction site, coordination with the other main construction contractor will be required before beginning the project, but once started, we expect the disassembly and reassembly to occur immediately.

13. If the new area does not have rubber tiles or any type of fall protection, what type of fall protection padding do you want for the new location? Please give the brand or specific supplier.
