RE: Oysterponds PLaygrotmd Prqiect
In reviewing the bids submitted for the new playground at Oysterponds Community Park,
I would 1/kc to ofl~r some insight to the design differences t}om what was specified. In
addition, duc to ccrtairt lm~guagc within the bid document, Mintele/PltaySa fe's bid was
submitted with the understanding tlmt such items as tools, excavation of tbotings,
concrete, and unloading would be furnished by the contractor ,as well a~q the supervision.
Below I have broken down my cost for the project:
Pl~ Ill, it 2-5-$22,000.00
Cost o£ equipment--S21,330.00
Supervision--S1,000.00
Play Unit 5-12--$36,640.00
Cost of equipment--S35,640.00
Supervision--S1,000.00
Free Standing Itcms--$12,565.00
Cost of f, quipment--$11,565.00
Cost of Supervision--$1,000.00
Misc. llem~--$'10,000.00
Supply oCTools & Excavation of Holes--S7,500.00
Unloadhag Delivery & Supply of Concrete-S2,500.00
I)c8ter Discuunt--($11 ~000.00)
The Total Cost is $70,205.00 and thc bid submitted by my compmay was $71,500.00.
Deducting the cost of the misc. items, the total is $61,500,00_ This is right in line with the
lowest bidder. Comparing the apparent Iow bidder's designs and what was spccified, it
becomes evident that the cost difference certai~tIy equates to more than $2.164.00, which
Monday, June 30, 2003 3:22 PM ___~_l.a¥Sa!_e 631-754-8429 p,03
is what seperates my cost to the low bidder. Below I have listed tlie most significanl
design differences:
· _.P_ layJ.~ii~ * Doe~ not have the animated "Flippo root" as specified.
Docs not include a one piece spiral slide as specified.
· Does not have the aninmted sand/water table (beach theme).
· Low bidder substituted an Arch Bridge for the specified Suspension Bridge.
· Does not provide Axches on the ends of the bridge.
· Has only 1 curved bridge. Specified design calls for 2.
~y I f-it -5d2
· Has an enclosed staircase. Not the animated Fish Cl/mber/Bridgc (beach theme).
· Does not have a rock climbing wall as specified.
· Does not have view windows at the top of the tube slide as specified.
· Multi-section slide in place of a Single Piece Wave Slide.
· Overhead climber is not a conthiuos climber as specified and lack~ satiety enclosures.
Misc. Items
· Fire truck is spring mounted not stationary as specified (safety issue for the 2-5 ages)
· Not offering the see saw as specified. The design call for a Mulfi-Pondo, which is an
unique apparatus that allows two children to face each wlicn used. l'wo people with
vastly different body weights can use it (Father and a 5 yr. oki child) and the design
provides a safe environment to play on,
Cn short, ! :feet thc cost breakdown along with the design differences clearly indicates that
my sub~hitted bid meets all aspects to what the Couanunity and the Town wants for their
neighborhood park. I welcome any questions you may have regarding the submitted
intbrmation in the letter. I look forward to your response.
Thank ye

4/0 straight link coil chain is hot dipped galvanized with a 670 pound working load limit. All chain shall be
manufactured to ASTM A467-86A Class CS specifications.
Fastener Style A is a corrosion resistant, 18-8, stainless steel, vandal resistant fastener.
FIo-Coat (R) is a patented tdple coat corrosion protection process of Allied Tube and Conduit's Mechanical Tube
Division, wherein steel pipe or tube first receives a hot-dipped uniform zinc galvanized coating followed by a
conversion coating followed by a clear, high performance organic polymer coating. The intedor of the tube has an
81% minimum zinc dch palmer applied, capable of providing excellent rust protection and fabrication characteristics.
All coatings are applied inside and out after welding. FIo-Coat processed tube exceeds the test results of galvanized
SCh 40 pipe in salt spray tests conducted in accordance with ASTM B-117. The term "FIo-Coat" is a registered
trademark of Allied Tube and Conduit, used with permission.
G-90 galvanized indicates that a coating of .90 ounces of zinc per square foot has been applied on each surface
side.
A-60 Galvannealed indicates triat a coating of .60 ounces of zinc per square foot alloyed with substrate steel has
been applied on each sudace side.
Mira-Cote (TM) is a polyester powder coating finish that shall be applied using extreme heat to a thickness of 3~5 mi.
This finish gives metal parts long term protection from chipping, fading and peeling. Miracle's finishing system
washes the metal parts with detergent and etches the metal for optimum adhesion. The part is then rinsed clean
with water. Next the part is coated with a non-chromic sealer and dried, The Mira-Cote powder is then applied
electrostatically to the metal part, The metal parts are then baked at 500 degrees F to fuse a hard, smooth durable
finish to the metal. Mira-Cote has an impact value of 160 in. lbs., flexibility value of 180 degrees-l/4" mandrel, shore
hardness value H and a crosshatch adhesion of 100%. Mira-Cote is tested in accordance with ASTM D-792, D-523,
D-2794, D-1737, 13-3363, D-3359 (b), B117 and D-2247. Mira-Cote will withstand over a 1,000 hour salt spray
exposure test with no changes.
Mira-Therm (TM) is a polyvinyl chloride coating applied to a thickness of 1/16" to 1/8". Pdmed metal pads are
heated and then dipped in a vinyl plastisol solution. As the vinyl plastisol is heated, fusion takes place and the liquid
is converted into a tough, homogenous mass with excellent abrasion, aging, corrosion and electrical resistance,
Mira-Therm also contains U.V. light stabilizers and color pigments. Mira-Therm is a proprietary brand of PVC.
Materials are tested in accordance with ASTM D-638, ASTM D-412, ASTM D-2240 and ASTM D-1004. Mira-Therm
meets the FMVS 302 flammability rating.
