Dumpster and Recycling Bin: A 40 cubic yard dumpster is required to dispose of the packaging and other debris from <br />Build Day. If both a recycling bin and a dumpster are available they can each be 20 cubic yards. Our goal is to reduce at <br />least 50% of waste on Build Day and reuse leftover materials. <br />12. Music: KaBOOM! Build Days have a very festive atmosphere and music is essential in creating this energy. KaBOOM! <br />asks that Community Partners have music on Build Day. Past Community Partners have used DJs, radio stations, CDs <br />in a boombox or some other music source. <br />Site Logistics: <br />1. Site preparation: All site preparation is the Community Partner's responsibility. The site must be prepared to a flat, dirt <br />surface with no more than a 2% grade. Site preparation must be completed at least two weeks before Build Day. <br />2. Utility Check: Community Partners must get 2 utility checks completed if they are selected for the project, including both <br />public and private utilities. The public utility check should be a free service from the local utility company and will require <br />someone to visit the site where the playground will be built. The first check must happen right after a site is selected and <br />as close to the Design Day as possible so if there are any utility lines that will affect the design of the playground it is <br />taken care of a soon as possible. The second check must happen shortly before the Project Manager arrives on site for <br />the preparation days and the holes for the playground are dug. <br />3. Soil Testing: If selected for the project, Community Partners must provide a soil test for lead and arsenic. The soil test <br />results are due to the Project Manager within two weeks of the Design Day. Community Partners may identify the lab of <br />their choice as long as they test for lead and arsenic. Past Community Partners have used the following company with <br />success: <br />httg://www.testamericainc.com/locations/locationmap. htm <br />4. Storage: Playground equipment arrives on site 48 hours before Build Day. If there is a room on site to store the <br />playground equipment close to the site please notify the Project Manager. If there is no secure storage space a mobile <br />trailer will need to be rented. <br />5. Age Usage: Playground equipment is manufactured for children ages 2-5, 5-12, or 2-12. Your Client Service <br />Coordinator will verify the age range suitable for your site. <br />6. Signage: A risk management sign comes with the playground equipment. This sign will have the age range of the <br />playground structure as well as the logo of the Funding Partner. Please notify your Client Services Coordinator <br />immediately if your site has any objections to a corporate logo going on a permanent sign. <br />Design and Materials: <br />1. Design Day: Design Day happens after a site is selected and is where the fun really begins! Design Day is the big kick- <br />off to the KaBOOM! playground project where you will meet your Project Manager and Funding Partner representatives. <br />It is when we give the play experts-the kids-a chance to tell us what they would like to see in their new playground. <br />Design Day is also the time to rally the community, get them involved in the planning process and get their input on the <br />
