ATTACHMENT A
POURED-IN-PLACE RUBBERIZED SURFACING
MIMINUM GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
SCOPE OF WORK
Supply all materials and labor required for poured-in-place rubberized safety surfacing. Surfacing
shall be installed in an existing playground site, to be used as an entrance and access to play
structures. Owner will provide maximum height of play structures.
QUALIFICATIONS
1. Qualified installer must be a licensed contractor approved and trained by the manufacturer of
the playground surfacing system.
B. SUBMITTALS
1. Manufacturer must submit proof of compliance to:
♦ Certification by manufacturer that installer is an approved applicator of the playground
surfacing system.
♦ U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission publication entitled “Handbook for Public
Playground Safety”
♦ American Society for Testing and Materials standard (ASTM) F1292 Standard
Specification for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials Within the Use Zone of
Playground Equipment
♦ ASTM F1951 Standard Specification for Determination of Accessibility of Surface Systems
Under and Around Playground Equipment
♦ Performance Requirements: Provide a 2 layer rubber-urethane playground surfacing
system which has been designed, manufactured and installed to meet the following
criteria:
♦ 1. Shock Attenuation (ASTM F1292):
♦ a. Gmax: Less than 200.
♦ b. Head Injury Criteria: Less than 1000.
♦ 2. Flammability (ASTM D2859): Pass.
♦ 3. Tensile Strength (ASTM D412): 60 psi (413 kPa).
♦ 4. Tear Resistance (ASTM D624): 140%.
♦ 5. Water Permeability: 0.4 gal/yd2/second.
2. Manufacturer’s written specifications and manufacturer’s sales brochure marked to annotate
the specific product to be utilized.
3. Statement of compliance with volatile emission regulations for all components, including
adhesive systems or binders.
4. Materials Safety Data Sheet shall be submitted for the proposed product.
5. Manufacturer and installer must submit proof of liability insurance.
Official Purchasing Document
Last updated 10/2017
RFP 9459 Playground Surfacing Construction Services
6. Guarantee and written warranty for materials and installation for no less than 10 years.
7. Submit a representative sample of the product and the recommended manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
SITE CONDITIONS
If Installer is responsible for the completion of the subsurface in the area where the poured-in-
place rubberized surfacing is to be applied, the Installer shall:
1. Establish and maintain required lines and elevations for grade.
2. Sub-base shall slope to provide positive drainage at a minimum of 1” per 10’ and shall not
pond water at any location.
3. If surfacing is to be laid on a stone base, provide subsurface drainage where shown on
plans.
4. Materials shall be delivered in clearly labeled unopened containers.
5. Materials shall be stored and handled in a manner that will insure protection from weather.
6. Materials stored on site shall be protected by use of barricades and fencing.
7. Environmental Requirements: Install surfacing system when minimum ambient temperature
is 40 degrees F and maximum ambient temperature is 90 degrees F. Do not install in steady
or heavy rain.
PRODUCT
Provide a base layer and top wearing course to meet critical fall height standards for CPSC and
ASTM guidelines for maximum height of play structures provided by the owner.
1. Cast-in-place surfaces shall be manufactured on site of UV stabilized polyurethane and
rubber granules, no less than specified thickness.
2. Basemat – 100% recycled SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber), free of all dust and extraneous
fiber, metal and similar substances and urethane. Foam rubber fillers are not acceptable.
14% urethane, 86% rubber (based on entire rubber & urethane mix).
3. Top surface – 100% new EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, peroxide
cured, UV stabilized; size 1-3 mm. with aliphatic urethane binder. 18% urethane, 82% rubber
(based on entire rubber & urethane mix).
4. Color to be determined by owner.
EXECUTION
When laying surfaces on a compacted stone base, proof-roll prepared sub-base surface
immediately prior to paving to check for unstable loose areas and areas requiring additional
compaction. Compact the base material as required to secure moisture content and a uniform
compaction of not less than 90%. Compacted stone base should be water permeable and sub-
grade should allow for free drainage by weeps and/or slumps.
When laying surfaces on asphalt or concrete, be assured that the surface is fully cured for no less
than 30 days for asphalt and 7 days for concrete, clean of dust and debris, oil free and dry. Fill
and patch any surface irregularities with structural bonding type fillers.

1. Do not proceed with playground surfacing installation until all applicable site work, including
substrate preparation, fencing, playground equipment installation and other relevant work,
has been completed.
2. Notify owner of unsatisfactory conditions. Do not begin laying paving until deficient sub-base
areas have been corrected and are ready to receive paving.
3. Plan the layout and placement of varying thickness zones by string line, chalk line and grade
stakes to provide reference points throughout the installation process.
4. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for installation.
• Basemat Installation:
o Using screeds and hand trowels, install the basemat at a consistent density of 29
pounds, 1 ounce per cubic foot (466 kg/m3) to the specified thickness.
o Allow basemat to cure for sufficient time so that indentations are not left in the
basemat from applicator foot traffic or equipment.
o Do not allow foot traffic or use of the basemat surface until it is sufficiently cured.
• Primer Application: Using a brush or short nap roller, apply primer to the basemat
perimeter and any adjacent vertical barriers such as playground equipment support legs,
curbs or slabs that will contact the surfacing system at the rate of 300 ft2/gal (7.5 m2/L).
• Top Surface Installation:
o Using a hand trowel, install top surface at a consistent density of 58 pounds, 9
ounces per cubic foot (938 kg/m3) to a nominal thickness of 1/2″ (12.7 mm).
o Allow top surface to cure for a minimum of 48 hours.
o At the end of the minimum curing period, verify that the top surface is sufficiently
dry and firm to allow foot traffic and use without damage to the surface.
o Do not allow foot traffic or use of the surface until it is sufficiently cured.
5. Taper edges to existing, surrounding surfaces when shown on plan.
6. Finished site shall be free of tools, equipment, unused materials and debris; broom area
clean.
PROTECTION
Contractor to provide fencing and barricades that shall protect finished surfaces. Owner will
provide reasonable supervision on site after hours. Cure shall be no less than manufacturer’s
recommendations.
FINAL INSPECTION
Manufacturer’s sales representative and/or installer must attend a follow up inspection with a City
of Ft. Collin’s Certified Playground Safety Inspector prior to acceptance of the installation.
