2. Work Items
2.1. Government has partially prepared a playground site. A 30' x 40' area has been completely cleared and roughed in by others. The Government will host a site visit after award of contract, to show the Contractor the location and proper orientation of the playground to be installed. The site is fairly level, but some grading and/or grubbing of materials will be required on this site in order to make the site fully functional/level as required for this install. The Government has placed a grade pin, and the requirement is for the contractor use this for a reference, for final top finished grade of the playground timbers that the contractor will place, and for proper placement of all playground components. Additionally, playground plastic timbers must be placed with adequate clearance from play structure, as recommended by playground manufacture. Furthermore, any soils that must be removed/grubbed from site, will be required to be removed and disposed of off Government property at the Contractor's expense. Contractor will be required to excavate and properly install approximately 60' length of 4" diameter sewer and drain pipe, that is perforated SCH 30 PVC or equivalent, and excavate and bury a short section of solid SCH 30 pipe out of playground surround to a slope that is approximately 30' from install. Government will approve the location of this install within the playground area, and also area where the end of drainpipe will be exposed. This pipe within the playground area will be installed in clean gravel, to alleviate water runoff from rainfall. Once drain pipe and gravel has been installed, within all areas inside the perimeter of the playground plastic timbers, contractor will install weed barrier fabric, to prevent future weed growth through the rubber mulch.
2.2. Install of playground components must meet all manufactures recommendations, with approved fasteners and adequate depth of concrete footings for all pieces of playground equipment. All equipment must be placed plumb, level and true. Offload of playground components, including Government furnished rubber mulch shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
2.3. Contractor is responsible for dressing surrounding soils/disturbed areas as a result of this playground install with Government furnished topsoil. Once areas are dressed neatly, Contractor will heavily seed newly placed topsoil areas with "Contractor's" mix grass seed, or equivalent, and straw mulch areas so that no soil is exposed through the straw mulch. Once mulch has been placed, the mulched areas will be watered so that all mulch is saturated, to enhance seed germination.
2.4. All trash, pallets, crating, grubbed soil, or other debris as a result of this install shall be disposed of properly, off of Government property at the Contractor's expense.
