The City of Rensselaer is seeking proposals to provide and install off the shelf (i.e. catalogue designs) playground systems at one or two city parks.  The parks are easily accessible and the area of playground installation is relatively flat.

 

We are seeking a playground system intended for children aged 2 to 12 years old with a capacity of approximately 45 to 65 children and a variety of ADA compliant play features (elevated play activities, ground level play activities, slides, climbers, etc.).  The use zone is expected to be within 35 feet by 40 feet. Respondents to this RFP may propose an array of playground equipment options at various price points. 

 

Pour-in-place playground surfacing will be installed throughout the use zone of the playground equipment installed and must have a critical fall height of at least 6 feet.

 

All equipment and surfacing will be delivered, assembled and installed by the supplier and may occur at one or both of the following locations (as determined by the City of Rensselaer): 8th Street Park (1800 8th Street, Rensselaer, NY 12144) and Eastland Park (101 Lakeview Avenue

Rensselaer, NY 12144).
