This is a product specification document for an equipment enclosure component submitted in support of the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Public Works Invitation for Bid #2022-IFB-004 for the Chartiers Spray Park & Playground Construction project. The document specifies the requirements for an above-ground mechanical system equipment enclosure to be installed adjacent to the water play area. The enclosure must be a safe, lockable unit mounted directly to a concrete support pad provided by others, featuring lockable access doors for equipment servicing. The enclosure will house the above-ground mechanical system components and must be secured with stainless steel anchorage hardware. This component is part of the broader 1,661 square foot splash pad installation that includes water features such as geysers, stream jets, and aquaarcs. Bid responses were due on March 9, 2022, at 2:00 pm, with questions due by March 3, 2022.

The project is subject to Pennsylvania State Prevailing Wage requirements, and all bidders must include shipping and delivery costs within their pricing submissions. A bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid and a performance bond of 100% are required. The procurement does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the City will provide certain equipment including playground structures and safety surfacing, with the selected contractor responsible for installation and site preparation. The project is funded through municipal capital improvement resources, with the landscape architectural design prepared by Studio Bryan Hanes and civil and structural engineering support provided by Common Ground Engineers.
