Return Application to: Office of Integrated Waste Management Recycling and Contract Administration Division 201 South Andrews Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 Attn: Douglas Drennen Caporella Park Play Surface Grant Executive Summary The City of Tamarac will provide an educational promotional campaign geared to residents and visitors of Caporella Park. The purpose of this demonstration project is to educate the public on the use and re- use of waste tires as a safe alternative to sand or mulch ground protection installed under playground equipment. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that a six inch deep recycled waste tire granule surface," SportsTurf' absorbs more impact from a fall than other tested surfaces. The shock absorption rate from a fall from 13 feet into six inches of SportsTurf is equivalent to a fall from eight feet onto sand and only three feet in packed dirt. Introduction The City of Tamarac will install 2,000 Square feet of an ADA approved safety play surface of recycled waste tire granules at our Caporella Park, located on Prospect Road and Commercial Boulevard in East Tamarac. Caporella Park is a neighborhood park with high visibility to residents in east Tamarac. Tamarac currently is developing a Master Plan to further develop and expand the existing park. Caporella Park is on the Master Plan development list. Goal Tamarac's primary goal is to establish a demonstration project that would help promote the advancement of education and research designed to facilitate waste tire recycling. One of our objectives to meet this goal is to increase the awareness of using recycled waste tire products as an alternative and substitute to traditional products (sand and mulch). - A second objective is to install the recycled waste tire product to increase the safety of children at play - using the playground equipment. Tamarac's secondary goal is to continue to promote recycling, volume reduction, the proper disposal of solid wastes and assist market development of recycled materials. Our CQmmlt_ment The City of Tamarac participates on the Resource Recovery Technical Advisory Committee JAC) and will continue to do so. In 1995, Tamarac received grant funding to install two playground safety surfaces using /- �� - If--3 VitriTurf at Tamarac Park and Tamarac Sports Complex. The play at both playground areas have increased significantly and received public favorable responses from the parents and children. Tamarac's emphasis is to develop an awareness of the different applications and uses of recycled waste tire products. Tamarac Parks and Recreation Operations Manager will be the project manager and will provide quarterly and final construction progress reports. The TAC representative and Public Works staff will lend assistance as needed. Tamarac will include this project in its educational promotional campaign for residents. Our campaign includes press releases, monthly citywide newsletters and updates on Channel 19 and Seflin. Reguirements; Prepare land base, lay and compact 4" of soil, install recycled plastic framing and install 1/4" recycled tire granules - 6" in depth. Conclusion Tamarac will work closely with Broward County Waste Tire Grant Representative to monitor durability of project to weather elements including, drainage and play, and provide a written report of its findings within six (6) months of installation. • r� • • City of Tamarac Caporella Park Play Surface Grant (FY97) Protect Spending Plan Turn key Proiect - Installed Play Surface Area: 40' x 50' Install 1/4" recycled tire granules "Sportsturf" 6" in depth 2000 Sq.

Issue: A grant application requesting $9,870 from Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management for an ADA approved safety play surface of recycled waste tire granules at Caporella Park, Background: On September 5, 1996, the City Manager submitted a grant application to Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management requesting $9,870 for an ADA approved safety playground surface demonstration project (recycled waste tire granules product) to be installed at Caporella Park. The County grant program is funded by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection. There is no match required by the City. The project uses a different type of recycled waste tire product (granules instead of pour -in -place) that was used at Tamarac Park and Tamarac Sport Complex. The grant guidelines recommend that a new or unique application of the recycled waste tire products would receive greater consideration. The grant application was submitted in anticipation of playground equipment being installed at Caporella Park in FY97. c: Parks & Recreation Op. Mgr.
