Robinswood Playground

The City of Bellevue is soliciting bids for the Robinswood Playground project in Washington, with an estimated budget ranging from 970,000 to 1,030,000 dollars. The scope of work includes the demolition and removal of existing playground equipment, clearing and grading, and the installation of two new playgrounds tailored for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds. These installations will feature engineered wood fiber mulch and artificial turf safety surfacing, adhering to ASTM F1487, CPSC, and ADAAG safety standards. Additional infrastructure improvements include a prefabricated steel shelter, concrete and asphalt paving, a portable restroom enclosure, ornamental planting, and modifications to the existing irrigation system. The project also requires domestic water line extensions and significant drainage improvements, as geotechnical studies indicate the site is not conducive for onsite stormwater infiltration. Critical project constraints include the protection of a Category IV wetland and the implementation of a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to manage 12,518 square feet of land disturbance. Contractors must meet specific insurance requirements for general liability, automobile, workers compensation, professional, and pollution liability. The procurement process includes several addenda modifying technical specifications for concrete, asphalt, and surfacing, as well as updated bid proposal forms. Bids for this solicitation are due by October 8, 2026, and must include the required Affidavit of Equal Opportunity and Title VI Compliance from the prime contractor.
