Pheasant Meadows Park Playground Equipment Replacement

Draper City's Parks & Recreation Department is soliciting competitive proposals for a playground replacement project at Pheasant Meadows Park, located at 13048 South Pheasant Haven Court in Utah. The procurement seeks a single vendor to design, provide, and install playground equipment specifically targeted for children ages 5-12 years old. Proposers may submit up to two design options and must electronically submit proposals through the U3P platform by December 9, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Required submittal materials include full-color drawings, material specifications, manufacturer information, business licensing documentation, proposer qualifications, insurance documents, four references, warranty information, detailed cost breakdowns, and delivery schedules. The proposal evaluation will use weighted criteria, with Design and Playability accounting for 70 percent of the score, while Responsiveness to RFP, Experience and Warranty, and Cost each represent 10 percent. Vendors must maintain a staffed office within 125 miles of Draper City, hold National Playground Safety Institute certification, and ensure all equipment meets current CPSC, IPEMA, ADA, and ASTM standards with ISO 9001 certification from the manufacturer.

The contract has no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises and does not indicate preferences for minority-owned businesses. Contractors must provide substantial insurance coverage, including $10,000,000 product liability for the manufacturer, $1,000,000 professional liability for the design professional, and $2,000,000 automobile and general liability insurance. The total project budget is capped at $80,000, which must cover all material, shipping, and labor costs. The scope of work includes complete removal and disposal of existing playground equipment, delivery and installation of new equipment, replacement of contaminated engineered wood fiber, and restoration of any damaged site improvements. Contractors must complete construction substantially before July 1, 2026. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires careful integration with the existing park infrastructure and adherence to strict safety and accessibility standards. Interested vendors should note the comprehensive requirements and budget constraints when preparing their proposals.
