I attached the warranty from Landscape Structures for the play equipment and the maintenance instructions that are then referenced in the warranty. On the 1' page, it reads "The warranties stated above are valid only if the structures and/or equipment are erected in conformance with Landscape Structures' installation instructions and maintained according to the maintenance procedures furnished by Landscape Structures Inc.;" The installation is then outlined on page 2 of the attached warranty stating: "INSTALLATION: All playstructures and/or equipment are delivered unassembled and packaged with recyclable materials. For a list of factory -certified installers in your area, please contact your Landscape Structures playground consultant." It then also references the Maintenance instructions, which point out is the Owners responsibility to quality and certify those performing the installation. Your specifications created by the Town of Danville, specifically state that the installer is to be certified. Again, you must be certified to install and provide a warranty. How is Grade Tech able to provide a complete bid that can warranty all the work with this flaw in their bid. They cannot provide you with a complete bid as they do not have the ability to warranty all the work as they lack the certification as noted by your staff previously. Specialty contractors don't get certified for no reason. It can be costly and time consuming for the studying and testing required for certification. All these manufacturers require their products to be installed by factory authorized installers. It is the same for Flooring, Roofing, Waterproofing and many other specialty contractor work. I attached the example that came up in Vallejo last year at the Marina for that reason, see the previous email I sent. I am sure your roofs that have a warranty at your Town Buildings can only be worked on by certified roofers from the manufacturer, to maintain the warranties, you wouldn't let anyone just work on the roof. Why is it any different here? 1 If I knew that MVP would be allowed to violate and circumvent the Public Works Contract Code, you don't think that MVP would have just self -performed all this work and not listed a certified installer too, just like GradeTech. All we did was follow what was called out in the specifications as required when bidding public works. Staff did not address the warranty issue that cannot be provided. If the item will not be pulled due to me being unable to attend, then please add this email and my previous email with attachments to the Public Comment this week. Thank you foryourtime and consideration. Have a safe week, Mike Vila Owner/President M V P Construction PLC C 925.586.1478 "Woman Business Enterprise" License #1047890 www.rr1vpcllc.conr 428 N.

Rob, I was hoping we would have had further conversation before this decision was made. There is an issue still remaining that was not addressed.

In your June 10 protest letter, you allege that Gradetech engaged in bid shopping after bids were submitted and in a previous email to Bob Russell you included what appear to be portions of a text exchange between Aaron Spohn and Greg Fulton, who we presume is an employee of Gradetech. What you have included doesn't show dates, so we can't tell if it was pre- or post -bid submittal and it doesn't include anything showing the context. If you wish this to be evaluated by the Town on what is a serious accusation, we need you to provide that information.

I don't think I was provided a copy of that. I did notice they did not address any of the items we pointed out. The items they point to are minor irregularities don't affect the overall outcome or give MVP an advantage.

The Town is going to continue this item on Diablo Vista Playground Renovation & Multi -Sport Skate Park until the Jully 2 meeting and will not appear on the June 18th agenda.

It is imperative that those responsible for maintenance of the playground understand the maintenance requirements necessary to keep it safe, attractive, and to extend its useful life. It is the responsibil- ity of the playground equipment manufacturer to provide instructions as to how the equipment is to be installed and maintained as well as to provide a general guideline as to the frequency of those procedures. It is your responsibility as owner to es- tablish a frequency schedule for each playground and to follow the manufacturers recommended procedures. The owner also has the responsibility to certify/ qualify those performing installation and mainte- nance services. It is important that you recognize the severity of the potential hazard that may be found upon in- spection. In some cases you may have to close the playground until repairs are made. These hazards will most likely be the result of vandalism - assum- ing proper maintenance has been performed. Protective surfacing throughout the use zone must be maintained at a thickness or depth sufficient to meet ASTM F1292 standards (Standard Specifi- cation for Impact Attenuation of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment) at max- imum fall heights for equipment installed above the surfacing. As an owner you may also select to do on-site testing to verify surfacing compliance to F1292. Where applicable, protective surfacing shall be maintained to address the intent of the DOJ Stan- dard for Accessible Design. landscape structures® © 2022 by Landscape Structures. Remove extraneous material in the play area that could cause injury, infection, or disease. Replace signs or labels, or both, should they be- come illegible, destroyed, or removed. If replacement parts, cleaners, touch-up kits, etc. are required, they can be ordered from your local Landscape Structures representative or the fac- tory. Part numbers and descriptions can be found on the back of the installation instruction sheets provided. If you have any questions, call our technical ser- vices dept. at 1-800-328-0035. The following pages identify common finishes and materials used in Landscape Structures Play- grounds. The procedure for inspecting, cleaning, repairing, and replacing each of the finishes or materials is outlined in this packet to make your maintenance decisions easier and quicker. When inspecting your playground equipment refer to the materials comprising the product and follow the procedures accordingly. For instance, a Learn- ing Wall will require you to follow procedures for fasteners, permalene parts, powdercoated parts , and footings. Refer to the specific product installation specifica- tion sheets (supplied with this packet) for common construction details and a replacement parts list. Record your findings and actions taken on the in- spection report form in the back of this packet (run copies for future use).

Page 3 Document #27167500 PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE It is estimated that at least 40% of all accidents on public playgrounds could have been prevented if a good preventative maintenance program were in place. A good program establishes a frequency of inspections that are commensurate with the use and en- vironmental factors unique to each play area. Some playgrounds will require daily inspections while others in the same area may require only bi-monthly inspections. The deteri- oration and/or wear of various play components can be predicted when certain factors are known. On the other hand, vandalism has a major influence on the frequency of inspec- tions, but is not as predictable. The following guide utilizes the most common use and environmental fac- tors that will influence your schedule. Each factor has been weighed as to its importance and influence on the schedule. Local conditions may include other factors, and in some cases, may affect seasonal adjust- ments to the schedule. Experience is your best guide. landscape structures® © 2022 by Landscape Structures.

Individual product maintenance documents may have been provided in the maintenance binder and should be used with their corresponding product where applicable. Be familiar with any Safety Data Sheets (SDS) prior to performing any maintenance. ■ANODIZED ALUMINUM 1 Cleaning: Apply "Graffiti Cleaner" (not supplied) to affected area. Follow the directions on the bottle. Graffiti Cleaner should be used within 24 to 48 hours from the time the surface was affected with graffiti. Repairing: Repair scratches to anodized surface by applying a small amount of color matched paint to scratches, using brush and paint provided. Scratches on metal climbers with clear coat anodized finish do not require repair. Replacing: Replace if deformed or severely pitted from corrosion. ■ BAMBOO PANELS 1 Cleaning: Light to Moderate Cleaning: To remove light to moderate areas of mold, mildew, or dirt, a water/bleach solution mixed 3:1 of water to bleach can be used. Common deck wash solutions can also be used. Be sure to follow deck wash manufacturer's recom- mendations for cleaning. Heavy Cleaning: To remove heavy areas of mold, mildew, or dirt, a water/bleach solution mixed 1:1 of water to bleach can be used. Common deck wash solutions can also be used. Be sure to follow deck wash manufacturer's recommendations for clean- ing. If areas of the materials remain distressed due to heavy mold, mildew, or dirt, the surface will likely require sanding. Be sure to follow stain/finish manufacturer's recom- mendation on re -coating of materials. Avoid the use of power washers. High pressure power washers can cause unwanted "scarring" of the materials. A typical garden hose with a pressure rating between 60 psi and 80 psi is recommended. Repairing: Dependent upon the type of stain/finish system and per the recommendation of the stain/finish manufacturer, the Bamboo products may need to be sanded down to base material, removing all stain/finish and visual defects, and a new stain/finish will be applied per the manufacturers' recommended application procedure. Some systems may not require sanding or stain/finish-removal processes. A main- tenance coat may be applied directly over the existing finish. However, it is always recommended to clean and recondition the substrate to allow the maintenance coat to properly bond to the substrate per the stain/finish manufacturers recommendation(s). Replacing: Replace if cracked, deformed, or embrittled. landscape structures® © 2022 by Landscape Structures. Page 6 PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE • BELTING Maintenance Instructions Continued 1 Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: • BUSHINGS General cleaning can be performed using soap, water, and Nylon brush. N/A Replace if belt is severely cut or deformed. Replace belt if it is ripped or torn at bolt attachment. 1 Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: • CABLE N/A N/A Replace bushings if 50% worn. Check "play" in bushings by moving the axle up and down (most bushings are 1/8"+ thick, thus 1/16" of play would require replacing). 1 Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: • CHAIN N/A Some light fraying may be repaired by carefully applying a flame to the area. Cau- tion: Be sure not to concentrate heat or a flame to the point where it damages the material. Replace if cables are severely frayed or severely damaged. 1 Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: • CONCRETE Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: • CONCRETE N/A If chain is TenderTuff-Coated see TenderTuff-Coated Parts. Close/tighten connectors as necessary ("S" hooks must be closed to less than a .040" gap). Replace chain and connectors if 50% worn. Note wear on report. (Visual Inspection). COMPONENT 2 General cleaning can be done by using a soft brush, mild soap, and water scrub. Efflorescence and calcification may need a stiffer bristle wire brush with soap and water. Graffiti removing agents may break down the paint on the product so touching up with paint over the affected areas is recommended. Maintenance & Repair Kits are available for crack filling and patching minor chips, efflorescence maintenance, and touch-up painting/graffiti removal. Contact your local LSI representative to order for your specific needs. Maintenance and Repair Kit Part Numbers: 209414 - Tree Themed Concrete Patch and Paint Kit 209415 - Rock Themed Concrete Patch and Paint Kit 199561 - Concrete Custom Repair Kit Replace if concrete is cracked, chipped, or broken beyond repair. FOOTINGS 10 Cleaning: Repairing: Replacing: N/A N/A Shovel away protective surfacing to inspect. Replace footing if cracked or not tight around post, support, or subsoil. Add protective surfacing as needed. Page 7 Document #27167500 PLAYGROUND MAINTENANCE Maintenance Instructions Continued ■ DIGIFUSE° PANELS 1 Cleaning: Apply "Graffiti Cleaner" (not supplied) to affected area. Follow the directions on the bottle. Repairing N/A Replacing: Replace if panel is deformed, defaced or not legible.
