QUESTIONS

Question Government Response

1. The provided examples (pictures) appear to show a Chinese product, which may have a different quality standard. Since this project is for a military base, is non-USA-made equipment acceptable, or is there a preference for domestically manufactured products? While we do offer a Chinese option, we typically recommend our playgrounds that meet all ASTM 1487 safety codes.

All products must be manufactured domestically and meet ASTM 1487 and any other safety codes metioned in the

PD.

2. Will there be free and easy access to the site, and is any grading work required?

The contractor will have full access to the site during construction. Access to the base will be run through contracting. Grading work may be necessary to establish a suitable base for installing the pour-in-place rubber.

3. Will the government be able to provide images of the site so we may double check that there is not an excess of slope?

Pictures of the site have been included in the response.

4. Does the governemtn have anyone they can recommend for topo surveys? The government cannot recommend any contractors.

5. Will fencing be provided, or will it need to be included to keep children away during installation?

The contractor is responsible for fencing off the site during construction. Temporary orange snow fence is an acceptable barrier.

6. If there a preferred set back from the dirt road?

There is no preffered set back from the road, the playrground should not cross the existing roadway.

7. Is there an estimated budget for this project? Not able to state.

8. Can Bid/Proposals be sent electronically? Yes.

9. Is Poured in Place surfacing your preferred fall material? Poured in place rubber is the preffered fall material.

10. Who is the targeted age group for this playground, 2-5, 2-12, 5-12? The target age group is 5-12 but 2-12 is acceptable as well.

11. Is there an address I can put in to show me the overhead of the area on Google Earth?

Using Google Maps, inputting Warren Adventure Park will take you to the building just southwest of the site.

12. In regard to the PIP, excavating the site is going to be necessary. Is there a location on the base where the topsoil being removed can be hauled to dumped and spread out? Or do we have to find an offsite place?

The topsoil can be hauled to a stockpile location on base.

13. Is there a preference on which of the three playgrounds provided as examples that we should quote? Given the area size, it looks like only one would fit. Or should be quote 3 separate bids one for each example?

There is no preference. The three example playgrounds were given as ideas for what the customer is looking for as well as for approximate sizing and activity count. Only one playground needs to be quoted.
