This is an addendum to a playground equipment specification and bid proposal for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Welcome Center in New Buffalo, Michigan, under File No. 591/24533.DPL. Addendum #2 approves three equal design alternatives for the playground construction: Miracle Recreation equipment, Play & Park Structures equipment, and Pro-Techs and NoFault Safety Surface for poured-in-place safety surfacing. The project encompasses a comprehensive playground installation designed for children ages 2-12 and ages 5-12, spanning approximately 97 feet by 53 feet with a total play area of 4,611 square feet and 290 linear feet of protective surfacing. The equipment configuration includes 31 play components with a user capacity of 100-150 children and a critical fall height of 8 feet. The playground features multiple activity stations including swings (saucer, arch, strap seat, and selfie variants), an inclusive carousel, communication panels, ramps, slides (triple, cascade, and curved velocity models), climbing elements, and accessible ground-level components to comply with ADA standards. The design specifies 13 elevated play activities accessible by transfer, 7 activities accessible by ramp, and 18 ground-level activity components, with all equipment IPEMA certified and conforming to ASTM F1487 and ADA accessibility requirements.

The addendum emphasizes that an energy-absorbing protective surface is mandatory under and around all play systems and that bidders must acknowledge receipt of the addendum by attaching a copy to their bid proposal or face potential disqualification. The playground layout is presented in a conceptual format with top-view drawings at 1/8" scale, and the document notes that all measurements and slope requirements must be field-verified prior to construction. The specification includes color selections for materials (PVC in teal, orange, blue, silver, and sand) and references Lawton & Associates as the design firm. Pro-Techs and NoFault Safety Surface are explicitly approved as equal alternatives for the poured-in-place safety surfacing component, providing bidders with multiple manufacturer options for compliance.
