Background:
The Children’s Park Playscape is twenty plus years old. Many of the wooden posts below the surface are rotten and will be unsafe in a few years. The redesigned playscape will include a combination of plastic and wood products that will out preform the existing structure. The new play structure will boast modern recycled plastic lumber on all surfaces that are touched by humans. The new design will be totally accessible to children with special needs. The Consultant will solicit feedback in a public design session and will prepare a schematic design for approval before the project is let for construction bids. The Consultant will also provide construction supervision during the construction phase of this project until final completion.
