Playground Equipment

Description

Fawley Parish Council (FPC) is seeking to upgrade some of its old playground equipment and provide some new equipment at two of their playgrounds; • QEII Recreation Ground, Thornbury Avenue, Blackfield • Tristan Close, Calshot The Council is keen where possible to use recycled materials as per the FPC Strategic Plan 2016/19. FPC is situated on the coast and therefore corrosion and durability is a key concern around its play equipment. We are keen to keep wooden equipment and component parts to a minimum. Any metal equipment should where possible be 'double dipped' galvanised frameworks with 100% recyclable component parts/panels. We will be seeking a lengthy warranty on parts and labour and where possible a lifetime warranty, either as part of any warranty offered and/or available to be purchased as an extended warranty. We are looking for a range of equipment that provides excellent access for interaction with children with a range of ages 2 - 12 yrs (we have provided a rough range, but this is not prescriptive if the ranges are not exactly as required) to occupy the following areas; • QEII Recreation Ground, Thornbury Avenue, Blackfield o Unit 1 - DDA compliant Roundabout (Safety Surface area 6m X 6m) o Unit 2 - Carousel Swing with cradle seats (min 3 seats) (Safety Surface 8m X 8m) o Unit 3 & 4 - Individual springers/spinners suitable for ages up to 5 • Tristan Close, Calshot o Unit 1 - Track ride/snake or similar, (6 yrs plus) (Safety Surface 10m X 4.5m) Please note no celebrity pictures or cartoon characters should be used in any of the submissions. FPC may withdraw applications which include such graphics. All tender submissions must include the expected time-frame to deliver the goods to the Council once ordered. It is the responsibility of the tenderer to demonstrate the specification will meet the needs of the Council.
