ADDENDUM NUMBER 1
TO: All Prospective Bidders and Plan Holders
FROM: Ubaldo Ayón, Assistant Construction Manager
DATE: July 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Project No. 2021-02, Fritz Burns Park Improvements
The following shall be considered as incorporated into the project plans and specifications for the above
referenced project. Portions of plans and specifications not specifically mentioned in this Addendum
remain in force.
CLARIFICATIONS
Question 1. Sheet L2.7, Detail C-11 Rubber Edge at Playground Mulch: Please note that a
concrete turndown edge is recommended in lieu of the specified Class II, due to the fact that Class
II will erode and fail on a slope. Please consider revising to 4” minimum concrete turndown edge at
playground mulch.
Response: See Attached Ph 1/Delta 1/Sheet L2.7/Detail C-11 for revised detail.
Question 2. Reference Sheet L2.5 Rubber Surfacing Colors. Please note that the call-out for
Rosehill TPV through American Recycling Center is a vendor only, and does not install the poured-
in-place safety surfacing. No Pantone colors are available industry wide, color selections are based
on the color-charts provided by the manufacturer.
Response: It is understood that Rosehill TPV is a vendor only. Contractor shall utilize a
playground surface installer for the installation. Pantone colors are provided only as a baseline for
“approved equal” substitutions.
Question 3. SpectraTurf would like to submit our SpectraPour Aliphatic to be an approved
equal product. Attached is our submittal for review.
Response: SpectraPour Aliphatic is an approved equal for the following colors:
RH22 “Light Blue” may be substituted with Sky Blue
RH31 “Cream” may be substituted with Pampus Ivory
RH20 “Standard Blue” may be substituted with Cobalt Blue
RH41 “Bright Yellow” may be substituted with Canary Yellow
RH30 “Beige” may be substituted with Sandstone Beige
2 of 22
RH21 “Purple” may be substituted with Lilac Purple
SpectraPour does not have an equivalent color to Rosehill TPV RH90 “Funky Pink” and therefore
the Funky Pink color granules will need to be purchased from Rosehill TPV through American
Recycling Center.
Question 4. Poured-in-place granule size? Please specify which EPDM granule size is to be
used? 1-4mm or 0.5-1.5mm? This is for the top 1/2" thick colored portion only of the poured-in-
place safety surfacing.
Response: Utilize 0.5-1.5mm
Question 5. Please consider notating the minimum thickness requirement for the top 1/2"
thick colored wear course layer per industry standards.
Response: See Attached Ph 1/Delta 1/Sheet L2.7/Detail C-11 for minimum 1/2" thick colored
wear (surface) course as well as revised thickness for the shock courses based on the fall heights
of each playground area.
Question 6. Please also provide the location of the spec or a spec for the placement of the
rubber safety surfacing. We reached out to Rosehill and agree with the note 2 above that they only
supply the material. They also do not give any details for installation or thickness.
Response: See Attached Poured-in-place rubber safety surfacing specifications (Modified
SpectraTurf specification). It is understood that Rosehill TPV is a vendor only. Contractor shall
utilize a playground surface installer for the installation. See Attached Ph 1/Delta 1/Sheet L.2-
7/Detail C-11 for thicknesses.

3. SpectraPour Poured-In-Place Top Surface:
a. Material: Blend of US manufactured recycled EPDM (ethylene propylene diene
monomer) rubber and Aliphatic (UV_stabilized) urethane binder. Certificate of
origin required.
b. Top Surface Thickness: minimum 1/2".
c. Color:
Standard Colors: Inferno Red; Shamrock Green; Cobalt Blue; Sky Blue;

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS
A. Comply with the instructions, details, and recommendations of the attenuating playground
surfacing manufacturer.
3.02 EXAMINATION
20 of 22
A. Substrate preparation must be in accordance with surfacing manufacturer's specification. New
asphalt must be fully cured - up to 30 days. New concrete varies 1-5 days weather dependent.
B. Compaction and proper drainage are critical to the longevity of the SpectraPour Poured-in-
Place surfacing system. Compaction and inadequate drainage will cause premature breakdown of
the poured system in affected areas; and void the warranty. Acceptable subbase materials are
concrete, asphalt, or class 2 aggregate.
3.03 PREPARATION
A. Surface Preparation: Using a brush or short nap roller, apply primer to the substrate
perimeter and any adjacent vertical barriers such as playground equipment posts, curbs, or
anchor that will contact the surfacing system.
3.04 INSTALLATION
A. Do not proceed with playground surfacing installation until all applicable site work, including
substrate preparation, fencing, playground equipment installation and other relevant work, has been
completed.
B. Basemat Installation:
1. Using screeds and hand trowels, install the basemat at a consistent uniform thickness
for required fall height.
2. Allow basemat to cure for sufficient time so that indentations are not left in the basemat
from applicator foot traffic or equipment.
3. Do not allow foot traffic or use of the basemat surface until it is sufficiently
cured.
C. Primer Application: Using a brush or short nap roller, apply primer to the substrate
perimeter and any adjacent vertical barriers such as playground equipment posts, curbs, or
anchor that will contact the surfacing system.
D. Top Surface Installation:
1. Using a hand trowel, install top surface at a consistent uniform minimum
21 of 22
thickness of 1/2".
2. Allow top surface to cure for a minimum of 72 hours for aliphatic resin.
3. At the end of the minimum curing period, verify that the top surface is sufficiently dry and
firm to allow foot traffic and use without damage to the surface.
4. Do not allow foot traffic or use of the surface until it is sufficiently cured.
3.05 PROTECTION
A. Protection of the work is excluded. The installation crew will protect its work only while
on site working. The Owner or Contractor is responsible for protection after the crew leaves
each day and after the crew leaves the site at substantial completion of their work.
PAYMENT
Furnish and Install Fall Surface System in Play Areas (Includes Rubberized Safety
Surfacing, Engineered Wood Fiber, Class II Base, Engineered Fabric, Gravel, Rubber
Shock Course) shall be measured and paid for at the contract unit price per Square Foot. The
contract unit price shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment,
and doing all work involved in placing the rubberized safety surfacing and engineered wood fiber
as detailed on the Plans and these Specifications. Payment shall also include all incidentals
including, but not limited to, Certificates of Compliance, and Testing and no additional
compensation shall be allowed.

FOR REBAR 15M (#4) AND UNDER = 50MM (2") COVER
5 REINFORCING STEEL
5.1 DEPENDING ON PROJECT LOCATION, ALL REINFORCING STEEL SHALL CONFORM TO
ASTM A615 (BARS 15M (#4) TO BE GRADE 60 WITH SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS ON
S1. BARS SMALLER THAN 15M (#4), TO BE GRADE 40); OR TO ACNOR GRADE G30.12
[FY = 400MPA (60,000 PSI), UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED].
5.2 USE CONCRETE, PLASTIC OR STEEL SUPPORT BARS, AS PER ACI (MANUAL OF
STANDARD PRACTICE FOR DETAILING CONCRETE STRUCTURES). THE RE-BAR PLACER
MUST REMAIN ON-SITE DURING POURS TO VERIFY CORRECT POSITIONING OF RE-BARS.
SLANT UPPER REINFORCING STEEL IN LINE WITH THE SLOPE OF THE SLAB, IF
APPLICABLE.
5.3 BARS SHALL BE SECURELY WIRED PER LATEST EDITION OF CRSI (RECOMMENDED
PRACTICE FOR PLACING REINFORCING BARS).

MM (1/8") WIDE AND SHALL PENETRATE THE SLAB TO A MINIMUM DEPTH OF 1/3 OF THE
THICKNESS OF THE SLAB. CONTROL JOINTS SHOULD BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
WITHOUT DAMAGING THE CONCRETE,BUT NO LATER THAN 18 HOURS AFTER POURING.
6.7 WHEN POSSIBLE AND TO AVOID SHRINKAGE CRACKING, HUMIDITY SHALL BE
MAINTAINED FOR 7 DAYS DURING THE CURING PERIOD OF THE SLAB. WATER AND USE
POLYETHYLENE CLOTH OR BAG. THE CONCRETE MUST DRY UNIFORMLY.
7 CONCRETE WORK IN COLD OR HOT WEATHER (MIN REQUIREMENTS)
7.1 COLD WEATHER REQUIREMENTS APPLY WHEN THE MEAN AIR IS LESS THAN 5
DEGREES CELSIUS (40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT).
7.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR COLD WEATHER CONCRETE WORK SHALL BE AS
PER ACI 306R-88; OR AS PER THE NBC'S LATEST REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING THE
LATEST ISSUE OF CSA STANDARD CAN3-A23.1.
7.3 ALL SNOW AND ICE SHALL BE REMOVED FROM FORMS AND REBAR WITH STEAM
AND COMPRESSED AIR BEFORE POURING. DO NOT USE DE-ICING SALT (CALCIUM
CHLORIDE) OR ANY OTHER SALTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
7.4 CONCRETE SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 20 DEGREES CELSIUS AND
A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 25 DEGREES CELSIUS WHILE POURING. IT IS THE
CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE
SATISFIED. ANY CONCRETE THAT DOES NOT CONFORM MUST BE REJECTED.
7.5 THE SURFACE OF POURED CONCRETE SHALL BE PROTECTED BY MEANS OF
