Introduction The Montrose Recreation District, Colorado (Owner) hereby solicits proposals for the design, fabrication, and installation of an indoor play structure and accessory items at their proposed new recreation center. The center will be constructed at 16350 Woodgate Road, Montrose, Colorado. Building construction began in June and is expected to be complete in September of 2016. Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRSA) is the architect of the project.

Project Description The final design of the Montrose Recreation District’s Community Recreation Center is the result of several previous planning assignments where Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture was contracted to help with developing a program, design, and building community support for the new recreation facility. The final design encompasses 80,000 sq. ft., equally divided between Aquatics and Sports and Fitness portions of the building. It features a 5500 s.f. leisure pool, a 10 lane 25 yard x 8 lane 25 meter competitive pools, three basketball courts, 2 racquetball courts, a large family game area, children’s indoor play area, a therapy space operated by the local hospital, second level fitness, track, exercise class room and support spaces. The combined pools will be the largest public pool on the western slope and is designed to include both a highly competitive and recreational uses to increase the use by all the residents of the district and tourists. The mission of the indoor playground is to create an interactive play environment with a very creative design. The ability of the playground designer/ manufacturer to create a play structure that maximizes the number of children on the structure at one time as well as utilize the indoor space for maximum enjoyment by its participants, is an important consideration. The recreation district would like to reach a broad age range of children including the 2-5 year olds and the 6-10 year olds. A standard outdoor play structure will not be acceptable for this proposal. A themed structure is desired. The design of this structure must meet all ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements for play structures.

Building Concept The building was inspired by the unique and breathtaking natural features that surround the region. Montrose prides itself as the home of the Black Canyon and this is reflected in the building’s exterior which takes it’s cue from the “Painted Wall” of the Black Canyon. Views from the new facility look south and east towards the San Juan’s and the Cimarron Mountain Ranges. Inside there are references to Montrose’s railroad beginnings and the climbing wall references the Black Canyon in its color. The space allocated for the play structure and accessory items has been designed by BRSA to reflect these vertical focal points on the horizon and thus become a focal point of the facility.

Indoor Playground Theme There are two possible themes that tie to the building, mountains and agriculture. Mountains: As stated above the building is inspired by the nearby topographical features of the region and this would also be an appropriate theme for indoor play. Kids love the mountains. They love to climb, romp, play, giggle and generally let loose. This indoor play area is for them. Agriculture: With the completion of the Gunnison Tunnel in 1909, Montrose became an



agricultural hub. Since then, farming has been a major part of Montrose’s way of life. Directly adjacent to the indoor play area is the Child Watch Room which has an agricultural theme that focuses on growth. The Owner’s desire for the indoor playground component of the recreation center includes the incorporation of an imaginative play structure and accessory items (exhibits) that take advantage of the unique volume of the proposed room and create an environment that supports either a mountain theme or agricultural theme. Additionally, it should appeal to kids of all ages but have a particular focus on younger kids. To emphasize these themes, the District requests the playground designer/ manufacturer propose an overall design concept that displays a playful mountain or farm environment. All designs supporting either theme will be considered. Playground designers/ manufacturers should incorporate fun, colorful, stimulating, playful, and safe exhibits that may include, but not be limited to:

Fake soft rocks and logs on which to climb Playground structure depicting a mountain or rocks, railroad or mine Caves and/ or a tunnel to explore under the mountain Slides Swings Climbing area Narrow gauge railroad Log RR depot “play house” Climbable haystacks Vegetables (especially corn) Farm Animals Farm house/Barn Farm equipment such as tractors, combines and plows Sounds of nature (wind, quaking aspens, crackling of a fire, animals noises, running

river) The playground designer/ manufacturer will be required to work with the Owner and BRSA to develop the design of the structure and accessory items. Once a final design is approved, the manufacturer will prepare construction drawings for the playground structure and accessory items and coordinate the installation with the Construction Manager/ General Contractor (CMGC) and the associated subcontractors constructing the recreation center. The playground designer/ manufacturer will be responsible for maintaining the schedule set by the CMGC and Owner for successful completion of the project. The successful playground designer/ manufacturer will execute a subcontractor agreement with the CMGC and will be completely liable and responsible for the design, fabrication, shipping, erection, and safety of the proposed play structure and accessory items. The District is tax exempt so no taxes will apply. Any and all costs incurred by the respondent in the preparation and delivery of the proposal is the responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Montrose Recreation District. Included with this Request for Proposal are floor plans, sections, and 3D views prepared by BRSA (4 sheets) that illustrate the space allocated for the indoor play structure. The proposed location and shell configuration are fixed. The District’s budget for the design, fabrication, and installation, complete with accessory items, is $50,000. Items such as storage cabinetry, lighting,



power requirements, etc., will be provided under the building construction contract. Please make note in your proposal if the components of your play unit meet I.P.F.M.A. certification (International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association), as well as Consumer Product Safety Commission Guidelines and ASTM standards as required by the state of Colorado. The flooring system should also meet or exceed CPSC and ASTM standards for playground equipment surfaces. Safety flooring has already been incorporated into the building GMP so the designer/manufacturer does not need to carry this cost.
