Wingfoot shaded play and picnic space RFQ.docx

This Request for Quotation (RFQ) document pertains to Wingfoot Lake State Park in Ohio, managed by the Division of Parks and Watercraft, and seeks materials for the creation of a shaded play space and ADA-compliant picnic area. The project involves the installation of a 61' x 31' sunshade structure covering an existing 60' x 30' concrete slab, with half the area designated for accessible and sensory-focused playground equipment for ages 2-12 and the other half allocated for a picnic area. The picnic area specifications include four 8-foot wheelchair-accessible picnic tables and two animal-protected, wheelchair-accessible trash receptacles. The sunshade structure must be based on or equivalent to Shade Systems Technology with Turn and Slide System specifications and include engineer-stamped plans, all support beams, frame structure, and hardware. The picnic area equipment must be new, equivalent to Premier Polysteel equipment with a 20-year warranty, and include all necessary hardware, specialized tools, and instructions. Installation of the sunshade and all playground and picnic equipment will be completed by DNR staff, with color specifications to be confirmed with the park manager.

An alternate option is available for bidders to propose the addition of a poured rubber surface to enhance safety and play experience, with installation to be completed by the awarded supplier if selected. All materials specified must be new, not used, and vendors must provide complete installation instructions. The project is funded through the State of Ohio's Parks and Watercraft Division, with the Division of Parks and Watercraft Construction team responsible for final installation unless the alternate poured rubber surface option is selected, in which case the supplier assumes installation responsibility for that component.
