Specifications include, but are not limited to: The city of Rawlins operates and maintains 9 parks throughout the City. The parks provide recreational facilities that citizens enjoy. The proposed splash pad would expand on recreational opportunities at the Depot Park, across Front Street from the Rawlins historic train depot. At the Depot Park is an existing fountain. The full project will include removing the fountain and installing a splash pad facility along with a precast concrete restroom. The splash pad will be installed using the existing fountain rim and drain system. A prepared crushed base foundation will be installed under a separate contract. The splash pad facility will be triggered by users and designed age appropriate for toddlers to adults to enjoy during the summer months. The waste water from the facility will drain to the existing site storm sewer. The precast concrete restroom building will have water, sewer and electrical connections and sit on a compacted gravel base with concrete skirting. Water, electrical, sewer and storm drain connections are available onsite but must be brought to the restroom. The work required of this RFP is final design based on previous community input and preliminary design presented in this project package and construction of the splash pad on a previously prepared site with water, electrical sanitary and storm water completed to the splash pad site by others prior to the selected firm commencing work. Installation of the splash pad will include a 6’ concrete skirt around the pad, the controls necessary for operation of the splash pad and any details necessary for the pad start up and operation. Funding for this project was provided through community fundraising and the City of Rawlins with construction coordinated through the Downtown Development Authority.
