2020-003 - Derby Hill & Silver Lake Parks Playground Equip. Design, Procurement & Install

Per this RFP, the City of Loveland is seeking proposals from qualified vendor/installer teams for
the design, procurement and installation of new play equipment for both playgrounds. The City
reserves the right to select a single contractor or two different contractors for the two project
locations, or to reject all proposals if it is in the best interest of the City.
The City of Loveland desires for its parks – including playground equipment and structures –
to inspire intergenerational use. This means that the playground aesthetic and the types of
play activities should be appealing to people of all ages and abilities. In particular, the City aims
to motivate adult caregivers to actively use the playground in tandem with older children who
may be competent to play unsupervised, but who will benefit from the adult mentorship, as
well as with younger children who will benefit from the adult supervision in addition to
companionship.
The City of Loveland desires for its playgrounds to excite, challenge, and engage diverse
users. This means that play features should offer varying levels of difficulty and challenge along
a developmental continuum, balancing required safety precautions with developmentally
appropriate risks. Features should inspire creative and varied types of play, and accommodate
diverse users.
