The playground layout in Sheet 5 of the drawing plans was developed based on <br />the general list and should be used as a guide. Each vendor should adhere to the sidewalk <br />edge but is free to design the play systems within the playground boundary. <br />All designs must meet or exceed all ADA requirements and shall provide the end user the <br />best play experience possible. We realize the general list has components from different <br />vendors and the layout shown in the plan showed a layout from a specific vendor, <br />however, it should be noted that the layout was for general guideline only in relationship <br />to the overall part: plan. <br />The $100,000 allowance is for furnishing and installing the play equipment which <br />includes all related play component installation. General excavation is under a different <br />pay item which will be done by the General Contractor. playground surface (wood fiber) <br />and poured -in-place resilient surface are under different pay items as well. <br />In designing the play systems, vendors must address the ADA requirements, safety zone <br />and value of play experience based upon a maximum allowance of $100,000. This cost is <br />the threshold amt should not be the main driver of the refined design. <br />
