PLAYGROUND ARTIFICIAL TURF SYSTEM -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (ADA & IMPACT ATTENUATION COMPLIANT)

The Canyons School District (UT) is seeking market feedback on a single‑laydown artificial‑turf system that simultaneously satisfies ASTM F1951 (ADA wheelchair accessibility) and ASTM F1292 (impact attenuation) for K‑12 playgrounds. The district currently uses an overlay approach over existing poured‑in‑place rubber or modular tiles and wants to eliminate “cut‑in” transitional strips. Vendors must comment on feasibility, recommend pile weight/height, discuss substrate compatibility (glue‑down vs. underlayment), specify adhesive and edge‑detail requirements, and propose infill types suitable for Utah’s climate. Responses are due by 8 PM MT on October 7, 2026. • Provide a single, uniform turf product that meets both ADA and fall‑protection standards. • Recommend optimal pile weight, height, and thatch density for durability and wheelchair mobility. • Address whether the product can be glued directly to existing rubber tiles/PIP or requires a shock‑pad underlayment. • Detail adhesive formulations, kerf‑slotting, and edge‑lift mitigation. • Suggest infill material and application rates to control surface temperature in Utah summers. • Include warranty terms (15‑year material, 10‑year labor) and any technical data sheets.
