REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
8565 PLAYGROUND RENOVATION FOR WESTFIELD PARK
Introduction and Project Background
The City of Fort Collins, Colorado Parks Department is requesting playground equipment
designs for a renovation of an existing playground at Westfield Park. Westfield Park is a
neighborhood-scale park that is located at 4075 Seneca Street. Work is to include coordination
with the Parks Project Manager and design of play systems within the existing play area
boundaries (approximately 9,881 square feet), as well as pricing for the installation of
commercial grade playground equipment. The equipment will be supplied, assembled and
installed as part of this contract. The playground Service Provider is required to hold the pricing
submitted in the proposal for a minimum of six months. The City of Fort Collins will be
responsible for preparing the existing site, including demolition of the existing play structure and
sand, establishment of subgrades, and installation of any site work (access ramps, drainage
systems, safety surfacing, and adjacent concrete sidewalks). This site work and safety surfacing
should not be included in the playground design proposal; however quantity and location of
wear mats should be included.
Detailed Project Description
Westfield Park is located in southwest Fort Collins. It is adjacent to Johnson Elementary, which
contains play equipment, and Webber Middle School, which contain no play equipment (see
Attachment A – Site Plan).
The City of Fort Collins is looking for a unique play experience that complements the existing
playgrounds within the City and achieves the high standard set by other neighborhood park
playgrounds within Fort Collins. The playground theme should build off the existing park theme
of geometric shapes and the architecture of the existing shade shelter located nearby. Ideally,
playground design would incorporate a tall element to take advantage of foothill views from the
park. See detailed design criteria below for components that should also be included.
The playground budget is approximately $120,000. Budgets represent monies for design, play
equipment and installation only. The City has separate budgets for surfacing, concrete and
sidewalks, and drainage systems.
Construction of the playground renovation project is scheduled to commence in late summer or
early fall of 2018. Construction will need to be completed by the end of 2018.
