Concrete or Asphalt - Concrete should be finished with a medium broom finish. All new
concrete slabs must cure for a minimum of seven (7) days prior to installation. Asphalt cure
time requires fourteen (14) days. Once the new asphalt has cured, it must be pressure
washed prior to the surfacing being installed. The concrete contractor shall be responsible
for flooding the pad to insure proper slope and tolerance. Any areas holding enough

water to cover a flat nickel shall be patched prior to arrival of poured rubber installation crews.

Depth: 4 inch minimum thickness.
Slope: Concrete or asphalt shall maintain 4” per foot.

Tolerance: Concrete must maintain a tolerance of 1/8” in 10 ft. to avoid low areas that will
hold water under the poured rubber surfacing.

PART 4 - SITE PREPARATION AND REQUIREMENTS:

Drainage - Having proper drainage at the low end of the concrete slab is of utmost
importance. Any brick walls or curbs at the low end of the slab shall have drainage

access through weep holes. Concrete curbing weep holes should be level with finish

grade of sub-base or a minimum of 1/8" below top of concrete slab, as GT IMPAX

recycled poured rubber surfacing is porous and water drains immediately through it. Weep
holes shall be 2” high and 3" wide and shall be installed every three (3) feet. If weep

holes are smaller than the recommended size, they shall be installed every 18". Floor drains
shall be located outside the high impact areas, as the drains may not be covered with GT
IMPAX poured rubber surfacing. Recommended locations for drains are against low-end

wall or curb.

Security & Waste Disposal - Surface installation crew shall be responsible for the
protection of surface during the installation process while on site only. Owner

or general contractor shall be responsible for the protection of the surface during the curing
period upon completion of the installation and overnight during the installation. Owner

or general contractor shall be responsible for having a dumpster on site for all waste and
debris. Failure to provide security and a dumpster will result in additional cost.

Utilities & Access - Power and water must be available within 300 feet of installation. Site
will require tractor-trailer access. In a case where tractor-trailer access is not possible, owner
or general contractor shall be responsible for transporting materials from delivering carrier to
the installation site.

PART 5 - INSTALLATION:

Weather Conditions. - Because the polyurethane agents are moisture or heat sensitive, the
nighttime temperatures must be above 40 degrees with daytime temperatures around 50
degrees. These temperatures must be consistent for several days before and after the poured
rubber installation period. Complying with these weather conditions will prevent poured rubber

from freezing which prevents proper curing.

Thickness - Overall depth of the poured rubber will vary based on critical fall heights and
installers test results. Depth of EPDM/TPV will be no less than 0.5”. Installation is performed
by technically trained GameTime approved specialists. Your GameTime dealer will schedule
installation of playground surfacing to meet your requirements.

THICKNESS CHART _ - (Below depths include 0.5” EPDM/TPV Topcoat)

1' to 4' Critical Fall Height 1.5” to 2” Total Depth
5' Critical Fall Height 2” to 2.5” Total Depth
6' Critical Fall Height 2.5” to 3” Total Depth
7' to 8' Critical Fall Height 3” to 3.5" Total Depth
9' to 10' Critical Fall Height 4” to 4.5” Total Depth
11' to 12' Critical Fall Height 5.5” Total Depth

Cold Joints - Areas in excess of 2,000 square feet or areas that require adjacent color pours will
have a cold joint or seam. Although seldom visible, seams are necessary when large pads require

more than one day pours.

Edges - Surface edges shall be flush, beveled or rolled. It is important to advise what type of edge
will be required so that the appropriate amount of materials are ordered.

Flush_- When curbing is provided around the outside perimeters of the pad, the poured rubber
will be adhered to the edge of the curbing so that the rubber surfacing is flush. This allows for a
smooth transition into the play area. However, the sub-base should be installed to allow the
proper depth of poured rubber so that the flush edge can be installed without having to fill voids
by increasing the depth SBR materials. If the sub-base is not installed properly, using too much
of the SBR materials can cause the installer to run short on the cushion course which is require

a change order to add additional materials for the project.

Beveled - When curbing is not provided for concrete or asphalt sub-bases, the installers will
bevel the edge down along the edge of the pad. This type of edge can be sloped to provide a
smoother transition but will require additional materials. If beveled at the edge of the use zones,
the edge can be more round due to the depth of the poured rubber. In this case, you may want
to have a rolled edge added to allow a smooth transition for wheelchair users.

Gamehme;

PART 5 - INSTALLATION (Continued)

ADA Rolled - This is the type of edge to meet the requirements of ASTM 1951, Specifications
for Determination of Accessibility of Surface Systems Under and Around Playground Equipment.
The rolled edge will require additional materials in order to provide adequate ADA Wheelchair
access. The total linear feet of the pad will need to be provided if the whole site is to be ADA
compliant.

Keyway Cut - This type of an edge requires a trenched saw cut of 12” wide x %” deep along the
edge of the concrete or asphalt pad. The contractor or customer will be responsible for providing
the keyway cut. There will be a up charge if the poured rubber installer is asked to provide this
cut. The poured rubber will be beveled down into the saw cut where it will adhere preventing the

exposure of a raw edge.

Cure Time - The poured rubber will require 72 hours (3 days) to properly cure. Security is required
by the owner during this time so to avoid unnecessary damages.

PART 6 - WARRANTY:

When used under playground equipment, GameTime's GT Impax recycled poured rubber is
warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for five years.

When used with water play equipment, GameTime's GT Impax recycled poured rubber is warranted
against defects in materials and workmanship for three years provided aliphatic binder is added.
Without the aliphatic binder, the GT Impax recycled poured rubber will carry only one year warranty.

Ask you GameTime representative for a copy of our full GT Impax recycled poured rubber warranty
details.

PART 7 - MAINTENANCE:

PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT

Mr. Jim Cutter, 86 Palm Street

We have had a problem with our neighbors, the Gilbertson’s for a long time because the city building
inspectors of 1950 and 1971 lead the Gilbertson’s astray by approving building permits that did not have
actual dimensions that violated the plat ordinance. Because it is a city error, we expect the city to correct
it. See RSA 626:3, Il, Effect of Ignorance or Mistake. This statute puts the blame on the building
inspector/public servant who approved the building permit. Sincerely, Jim.

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Lopez

| just wanted to comment that | had the opportunity to sleep in a box on Friday and particularly working
with the homeless myself | was under the impression that | understood somewhat of their situation but it
really brought it home to what some of our fellow neighbors are going through when they are having
trouble finding housing. There are many reasons for homelessness, opioid abuse or a temporary break
in their family. Regardless of the cause it’s a very unfortunate situation and there is a shortage of
housing available for people to move into; public housing or otherwise. | was encouraged this morning to
actually attend the opening of the Salmon Street Elderly Housing Program. | think making sure that the
elderly in our community don’t end up spending any nights in a box is just a basic imperative that we
should be attentive to as a city. | wanted to recognize the efforts of the city’s welfare department in doing
that.

Alderman Moriarty

The non-profit organization Symphony NH has their season opening concert at Keefe Auditorium on
Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

Alderman Schoneman

| distributed a gift and a thank you note from local churches in the community that got together to
organize some volunteer efforts and they just wanted you to know that you are thanked by them.
