The purpose of this grant program is to replace aging playground equipment using recycled materials and to increase accessibility for disabled children. In July of this year, the City received four proposals from qualified playground equipment providers. After careful consideration from Staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and area residents, Miracle Park was selected as the winning proposal. This proposal combined good ADA accessibility with separated play structures for pre - school age and school age children. This proposal was also within budget. The following_ proposals all include demolition, removal, and replacement of the existing equipment.

MIRACLE Safety &Accessibility Safety Brochure ASTM Regulations Update Introduction to ASTM Guide to ADA IPEMA IPEMA Certificate MIRACLE RECREATION EQUIPMENT COMPANY Safety Brochure 100 B)WaS Rev. G. AUg. 17, 109 SCOPE General safety recommendations applicable to the installation and maintenance of play equipment supplied by Miracle Recreation Equipment Company. INSTALLATION I. SURFACES All play equipment must be installed over an acceptable impact absorbing surfacing material. It is the responsibility of the playground designer, installer and operator to ensure that the size, type and depth of impact absorbing surfacing material used complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission "Handbook for Public Playground Safety (CPSC Handbook). This impact absorbing surfacing material must cover the entire 'Use Zone" area to a depth appropriate for the height of the play equipment. The 'Use Zone' is an area under and all around each piece of play equipment. See the "Use Zones" section below for specific dimensional sizes for specific types of play equipment. Please refer to the CPSC Handbook for a more detailed discussion of these issues. Acceptable Surfaces Acceptable impact absorbing surfacing materials include unitary safety surfac- ing such as pour -in -place rubber or rubber tile, and natural loose fill materials such as bark nuggets, wood mulch, wood chips, pea gravel and sand. Appropriate thicknesses for the PlaysafeT or Fall Saverl" materials can be obtained from your Miracle Sales Representative. For the loose fill materials listed, Miracle recommends a minimum depth of twelve (12) inches. Unacceptable Surfaces Unacceptable surfaces include turf, undisturbed natural ground, undisturbed compacted sand, decomposed granite, asphalt, concrete or any other hard surfacing. USE ZONES: Use zones are the areas under and all around each piece of play equipment that must be covered with an acceptable impact absorbing surfacing material (see'Surfacing'section above.) The specific size of these use zones depends upon the type of play equipment as follows: Regular Swings: The use zone must extend at least two (2) times the pivot point height to both the front and rear of the top rail. The use zone must extend at least six (6) feet out at each end from the swing frame legs. Tire Swings: The use zone must extend at least six (6) feet plus the length of the suspension mem- bers in all directions. The use zone must also extend at least six (6) feet out at each end from the swing frame legs. Slides: The use zone must extend at least six (6) feet in all directions from the perimeter of the slide. Also, in front of the slide exit measuring from the point where the slide slope is reduced to 5 degrees, the use zone must extend a total of four (4) feet plus the height of the platform. All other play equipment: The use zone must extend at least six (6) feet in all directions from the perimeter of the play equipment Way Br.W,, 1W I'Rnd W FW Sec, 300 p. t M 5 moms Rev. G II. OTHER IMPORTANT ITEMS During the installation and maintenance process, ensure that: A. Warning: Contact burn injuries can occur when metal play surfaces are located in direct sun. To avoid the risk of such burn injuries, the United Slates Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends in its "Handbook for Public Playground Safety" that metal play surfaces, such as stainless steel slides and bare or painted metal crawl tubes, should be placedfinstalled in shaded areas, and out of direct sunlight. The proper location of metal play surfaces must be addressed during the play area planning process. B. There are no exposed concrete footings to trip over or fall on. The top of all footings must be at or below the bottom of the layer of impact absorbing surfacing material. C. All bolt threads protruding beyond the nut are cut and peened smooth to the touch. Sharp edges and/or points of any kind must be eliminated. No more than two threads may be exposed beyond the end of-the nut. D. All bolts, screws, set screws or other fasteners are tightened securely. Missing bolts, set screws or other fasteners must be replaced immediately. E. All 'S" hooks and clevises are free of any wear. That all "S" hooks are closed metal to metal (0.04" gap maximum) and all clevises and supporting hardware are securely attached. A Miracle 'S' hook for swing seat use has the dimensions of 2 -314" x 4 -112" and looks like the following drawing. "S" hooks must comply with ASTM 1487 section 6.3.1 on entanglement. MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS During the course of play (particularly with new play equipment which is heavily used the first few weeks), d is common that holes and trenches develop in loose fill impact absorbing surfacing material, i.e. under swings, around slides (exit, entry), around whirls, around and under climbers and see saws, etc. The loose fill impact absorbing surfacing material must be maintained at the appropriate depth of twelve (12) inches. DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS ENSURE: A. There are no sharp edges and/or points of any kind. B. All bolts, screws, set screws or other fasteners are tightened securely. Missing bolts, set screws or other fasteners must be replaced immediately. See Specifications and Installation Guides for replacement parts listed in the Bill of Material or Parts Carton. Use only original replacement parts from Miracle. C. All "S' hooks and clevises are free of wear with all 'S" hooks closed metal to metal (0.04" gap maximum) and all clevises and supporting hardware securely attached. 'S" hooks must comply with ASTM 1487 section 6.3.1 on entanglement. Safely emchve 1001'Reea Me Fi r see. 0W p. 2 ar 5 WM5 Rev. G D. All swings seats are in good condition. Some examples of things to look for indicating swings seats/swing riders need to be repaired or replaced: If the grommet area or any other part of the seat shows signs of wear such as rust or stress cracks in the rubber, immediately remove the seat from service. Be sure that the grommet is in good condition and that only the large 'S* hook passes through the swing seat grommet. ACTUAL SIZE E. If any of the following conditions are present, immediately remove the seat from service: Rusting, splitting, checking, warping, complete breakage, visible cracks, splintering, deteriorated insert material, exposure of the rubber encapsulated metal in the seat, loose seats, heavy seats with sharp edges or corners, loose bolts and nuts, exposed and /or protruding parts, pinch and/or crush points and/or evidence of vandalism. F. All of chains, rods, ropes or cables are in good condition. Replace chains, rods, ropes or cables if any of the following are observed: S.Wy ar.0 ,. 1001'Read W Fi r'Sec JW p.]d5 070035 Rev. G Cracking, rusting, complete breakage, chain links that have become thin with wear, bending, warping, frayed rope and/or cable, deformation, wom, loose or sharp edges, exposed ends, protrusions and /or evidence of vandalism. Anything showing any sign of wear, fatigue or otherwise presenting an unsafe condition must be immediately replaced. If not immediately replaced, the play equipment must be removed from service and no one permit- ted to use the play equipment until the problems are corrected. Be sure to understand, apply and utilize the CPSC Handbook For Public Playground Safety, all materials and information provided by Miracle, and your own knowledge and experience in determining if wear, fatigue or any other unsafe condition exists. All missing parts must be immediately replaced. The play equipment must be removed from service and no one permitted to use the play equipment until the missing parts are replaced. Use only original replacement parts from Miracle. This is a partial listing of regular maintenance and inspection hems. Utilize the CPSC Handbook as an additional guide and reference. You must develop a checklist specific to your needs as determined by use, weather, etc. Maintenance is your responsibility. Only you can do it! Please protect the user of the play equipment. MISUSE Any attempt to alter, adapt, change, attach to or assemble the play equipment for anything other than its intended use as stated in the specification/installation instructions is strictly prohibited.

CPSC, A GUIDELINE ON SAFETY In 1981, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the first set of -voluntary- Federal Guidelines. in the publication Handbook For Public PlaygrouncrSa&V.. As purpose was to help make public playgrounds safer for children ages 5 -12 years. Volume I covereo general guidelines for new and existing playgrounds, and was Intended for end users: Me general public, r parents, schools, and parks and recreation personnel. Then, in 1983, Volume 11 covered technical guidelines for equiment and surfacing. It was intended mainly for manufacturers, installers, schools and park officials interested in technical criteria for public playground equipment The recommendations were not mandatory, but because it was the first such document, the CPSC's 1981 Handbook quickly became thestateot- 'Thr U.S. Canrumrr Produa SafeV Cummlssian thwart, accepted publication against which a community's or manufac. issued th< irn sa o roLnmr " uiddlnc tur er's playground equipment was measured— especially in the courtroom, with respect to injury lawsuits. - ln 1981' In November 1991, the CPSC issued and updated Handbook For Public R: /groundSarery that Included many revisions from me original version.

PLAYGROUND ACCESSIBILITY Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for Play Areas: A Quick Reference Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Access Board recently published guidelines for play areas. The highlights will be presented here. The proposed guidelines would add a new chapter (section 16) on play areas to the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). This chapter would address only those play areas that are newly built or altered. 5everal defined terms are key to understanding the guidelines. They include, "play comporents," which are manufactured or natural elements used for play, socialization or learning. Two types of play components are distinguished: "ground - level" and "elevated.'• Ground -level play components are those approached and exiud at ground level, such as spring riders, swings, free - standing slides and stand -alone climbers. Elevated play components are approached above or below grade, and are part of composite structures that provide a variety of play activities. 5ection 16.1.1 & 16.1.2: The guidelines would require looking at play areas as a collection of individual play components to determine the minimum amount required to be accessible. Minimum requirements would be based on the number of ground level and elevated play components provided for a play area. There are two criteria proposed for ground level play components. , .Access is required: ' to at least one of each type, and.... l l in a number equal to at least half the number of elevated play components provided. The same ground -level components could be used to satisfy both provisions. At least 50% of the number of elevated play components provided would be required to be accessible. 5ection 16.1.3 & 16.1.4 Two methods of providing access to elevated play components are allowed: ramps and transfer systems. Design specifications are provided by the Access 5oard. A transfer system is a platform onto which children using wheelchairs can transfer. Transfer steps from the platform are a means of access from the platform to play components. Access can be provided by either method, although ramp access is required when play structures with 20 or more elevated play components are provided.
