with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the
aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before
the effective date of this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous
coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services
required by this agreement.
Builder’s risk insurance. Upon commencement of construction and with approval of
Agency, Contractor shall obtain and maintain builder’s risk insurance for the entire
duration of the Project until only the Agency has an insurable interest. The Builder’s Risk
coverage shall include the coverages as specified below.
The named insureds shall be Contractor and Agency, including its officers, officials,
employees, and agents. All Subcontractors (excluding those solely responsible for design
Work) of any tier and suppliers shall be included as additional insureds as their interests
may appear. Contractor shall not be required to maintain property insurance for any

on a form acceptable to Agency to ensure adequacy of terms and sublimits and shall be
submitted to the Agency prior to commencement of construction.
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the state of California and with an A.M. Bests rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Contractor.
Contractor and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by
Contractor:
1. Contractor agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party General liability
policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers,
officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insurer under such
policies using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. Contractor also agrees
to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise.
2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Contract shall prohibit
Contractor, or Contractor’s employees, or agents, from waiving the right of
subrogation prior to a loss. Contractor agrees to waive subrogation rights against
City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all
contractors and subcontractors to do likewise.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or
applicable to this Contract are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies.
Nothing contained in this Contract or any other Contract relating to the City or its
operations limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverage required herein will be in compliance with these
requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been
first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called “third party action over” claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Contractor shall not make
any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect City’s protection without City’s prior
written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverage required and an additional insured
endorsement to Contractor’s general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or
prior to the execution of this Contract. In the event such proof of any insurance is
not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time
and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to
obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any
other Contract and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be
charged to and promptly paid by Contractor or deducted from sums due
Contractor, at City option.
8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurer will provide 30 days notice to City of any
cancellation of coverage. Contractor agrees to require its insurer to modify such
certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to
mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will
“endeavor” (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the
certificate.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Contract that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by Contractor or any subcontractor, is intended to apply
first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self insurance available to City.
10. Contractor agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with
the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Contractor, provide the
same minimum insurance coverage required of Contractor. Contractor agrees to
monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring
that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section.
Contractor agrees that upon request, all Contracts with subcontractors and others
engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.
11. Contractor agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions or
deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that
it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or
person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated
by this Contract to self-insure its obligations to City. If Contractor’s existing
coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the deductible or self-
insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review
options with the Contractor, which may include reduction or elimination of the
deductible or self-insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other
solutions.
12. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change
the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Contractor ninety (90)
days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the Contractor, the City will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to City.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Contract will be deemed to
have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can
be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Contract.
14. Contractor acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part
of City to inform Contractor of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in
no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. Contractor will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
this Contract. This obligation applies whether or not the Contract is canceled or
terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City
executes a written statement to that effect.
16. Contractor shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring
during the term of this Contract have been renewed or replaced with other policies
providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered
shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Contractor’s
insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or
additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to
the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the
expiration of the coverage.
17. The provisions of any workers’ compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of Contractor under this Contract. Contractor expressly agrees not to
use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its
employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Contract and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Contract to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or
impairs the provisions of this Section.
21. Contractor agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Contractor
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Contract. Any such
provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to
reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There
shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with
respect thereto.
Contractor agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Contractor arising out of the work performed under this Contract. City assumes no
obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

STEP 1 MATCH CLAMPS WITH POSTS & COMPONENTS
1a. Determine use(s) and location of each clamp ring based on Construction Drawings and/
or installation instructions of playsystem's components. It is the installer's choice whether
to assemble clamps to posts before or after setting posts into footings.
Note:
• Most measurements are made from fi nished grade, which accounts for post length
below subgrade (in concrete, beneath compacted soil level) and 12" of loose-fi ll surfacing.
• Do not permanently affi x clamps to posts with self-drilling screws, or pour concrete for foot-
ings, until all components in playsystem are installed per instructions and braced in
position level and plumb.
STEP 2 MARK CLAMP POSITIONS ON POSTS
2a. Determine clamp heights on posts per component instructions. Mark positions on posts
with pencil or washable pen or marker.
2b. If installing one-piece support castings on clamps, slide it or them onto a clamp ring
half before connecting ring half to opposite half around post. Two-piece bar sockets
may be affi xed afterward.
STEP 3 FASTEN CLAMP RING HALVES AROUND POSTS
3a. Refer to fi rst illustration on page 2. Connect clamp ring halves to each other around
posts at marked heights with 1/4" x 1-1/4" BHCS bolts (PN 104749) at each end.
Orient clamp ring assembly so that recessed center holes (for securing clamp ring
halves to post) will not be blocked when components are attached to support castings.
Note:
• For aesthetic purpose, it is advisable to assemble clamps around posts with text on sur-
face oriented upright and legible, though clamp will function properly regardless.

STEP 4 LOOSELY CONNECT BAR SOCKETS, IF APPLICABLE
4a. If applicable, refer to Bar Socket illustration on page 2. Loosely connect top and bottom
bar socket halves together with 1/4" x 5/8" BHCS bolts (PN 104750) on edge of clamp
rings. Start 3/8"x 3/8" set screw (PN 104285) in bottom half of each.
Note:
• Torque 1/4" button head bolts in bar sockets to 5 ft.-lbs. Bar Sockets should not be allowed
to rotate around clamp.
STEP 5 SEAT COMPONENTS ON BAR SOCKETS, HEADER SUPPORTS,
OR DECK SUPPORTS
5a. Seat component rail, rungs, edges, etc. in bar sockets, over header supports, or
against deck supports. Adjust clamp rings on posts as needed (maintaining heights
specifi ed in component instructions) to achieve plumb and level posts and compo-
nents.
5b. Generally, a deck is attached to deck supports with 1/2" x 1-1/4" BHCS bolts and
7/16" fl at washers. Header supports are fastened against clamp rings with 1/4"
x 1-1/4" tek hex washer head self-drilling screws, and headers are attached to
header supports on bottom side with 1/4" drive rivets or self-drilling screws.
5c. Tighten hardware affi xing components to support castings, castings to clamps and
clamp rings around posts.
FINAL STEP SECURE CLAMPS TO POSTS
Permanently affi x clamp rings to deck posts using self-drilling screws and screw insulators
when all components in system have been installed, plumbed, leveled and braced in posi-
tion for pouring of concrete. Proceed with Final Assembly installation located behind
Installations 101 in Installation Manual.

Dig footings per Footing Layout, Construction Drawings and Footing Details installation.
Install Tip: Determine thickness of blocking material (such as patio blocks). Dig footings that
amount deeper and place blocks beneath Deck Posts in footings. This gives playsystem ad-
ditional stability and helps ensure it remains level and plumb until concrete is fully cured.
Note: Do not pour concrete for footings or permanently secure clamps to Posts until
components illustrated in this installation guide have been installed per instructions
and braced in position level and plumb.
STEP 1 DIG FOOTINGS
Each Deck system requires a number of Posts or Arches, available in various heights and
confi gurations, to facilitate different Deck and component heights. Refer to Top Views, Footing
Layouts, and Construction Drawings specifi cally for this installation to determine type and loca-
tion of each Deck Post or Arch.
Set Posts into footings and verify that tops of plumb Posts are level on same (or correct) plane.
Note: One Arch functions as two Deck Posts. Legs of Arch may vary slightly in length.
Plumb each Arch leg so that Arch Assembly stands plumb at desired height, and adjust
footing depth or block up short leg as needed.

STEP 3 AFFIX DECK SUPPORT TO CLAMPS; CLAMPS TO POSTS
Use drill to ream excess PVC from Deck Support mounting holes in Deck corners.
Note: Ream excess PVC from only one half's corner bolt holes where they meet. There is
room for only one Deck Support in the corner of the Pentagon Deck where the two Deck
half's meet. Two Deck Supports may be used on the Heptagon Deck where the two Deck
half's meet, therefore, both Deck Support
bolt holes will need to have excess
PVC reamed.
STEP 4 REAM EXCESS PVC FROM MOUNTING HOLES
Refer to Versalok Fastening System installation. Place a Deck Support on each Clamp
Ring and loosely assemble Clamp Ring halves around Posts so that tops of Clamps are
approximately 3/4" below intended Deck height. Orient Deck Supports toward center of
Deck.
Apply a "Top of Surfacing" label to each
Deck Post 12" above compacted soil.
Note: If a Post must "share duty"
by supporting an adjacent Deck
system at equal height, slide all Deck
Supports onto Clamp Rings before
assembling to Posts.

Refer to Versalok Fastening System installation. Rest Deck on Clamps, and plumb and
brace Deck Posts in position. Readjust position of Clamps on Posts as needed to ensure
that Deck is level at desired height.
Align Deck corner mounting holes with Deck Supports and attach each with 3/8" x 1-1/4"
button head bolt (P/N 104921) and 7/16" I.D. x 1" O.D. x 1/8" thick washer (P/N
117072SS).
If installing Deck assemblies with multiple sections (e.g. Pentagon Deck, Half Hex Decks),
fasten one half to Posts plumb and level before attaching second half.
For Model 714-517-9 only:
Attach perimeter deck sections
together prior to installing center
plug section. Affi x center plug section
to middle support post as shown, then
thread entire center assembly down through
perimeter deck sections. Bolt center plug
section to Deck.
Install Tip: Employ a jack stand or other blocking material to support Deck system at proper
height until other components are attached, to prevent leaning or twisting of Deck
assemblies and to temporarily lend stability.
Install Tip: For aesthetic purposes, when certain that Clamps and Decks are at appropri-
ate heights and any shared Clamps have necessary Supports, turn Clamp or Post so that
self-drilling screw for Clamp-to-Post connection will be concealed behind Deck-to-Support
connection (i.e. not visible from outside or beneath playsystem).

If installing Deck assemblies with sections sharing a long side at same height (without a
middle Post), use drill to ream excess PVC from four (4) evenly-spaced mating bolt holes
in long side edge angle on both Deck sections. Fasten Deck sections together with
3/8" x 1-1/8" 6-lobe button head bolts (P/N 104930), 3/8" fl at washers (P/N 117005) on
each side, and Nylok nuts (P/N 110030).
Attach deck sections which share a 4'-0" side at same or varying heights to common Posts
per previous instructions. Deck-to-Deck fastening on a common 4'-0" side is not necessary.
STEP 6 DECK TO DECK ASSEMBLY, IF APPLICABLE
Square, plumb and level Deck Assembly. Tighten Clamps on Posts, and assemble remaining
components to Deck system. When complete, proceed with Final Assembly installation.

Pre-Installation Preparation of Clamps to Deck Posts
714-522Many installers prefer to assemble Deck-supporting Clamps and corresponding Component-
supporting Clamps around Deck Posts at correct heights all at once as part of their "prep work,"
in order to save time and effort during installation of other playsystem components.
Miracle's Installation Guides provide dimensions and instructions for mounting each model
and its parts individually and consecutively, regardless of whether this prep work is completed.
It is at the installers' discretion whether to reference this procedure.
The instructions, diagram and chart herein refer to locations for marking and connecting
Clamps around Deck Posts only (i.e. Posts without Decks do not apply.) Refer to Versalok
Fastening System installation instructions in this Manual for assembly details.
Note: Do not use self-drilling screws to secure Clamps to Posts until all components in
system have been installed per instructions, and are plumb, level and braced in posi-
tion. This will allow Clamps to be shifted as needed during installation of
remaining components.
It is important to note that until Clamps are permanently secured, Deck systems and
other components are UNSAFE TO STAND ON!
Note: This procedure is valid only if footing depths are precise and consistent.
Continue only if a transit or other device will be used to verify accuracy.
If Blocks will be placed beneath Deck Posts at bottom of footing holes as recommended, com-
pensate for extra height by digging holes deeper. Refer to Footing Details.
Remove wrapping from Deck Posts, verifying that Part Identification
Labels match Parts Lists in this Installation Manual.
STEP 1
Study enclosed Top View and Footing Layout, located behind
"Construction Drawings" tab.
Locate all Deck Posts in playsystem.
STEP 2
October 19, 2009
Rev. B
Pre-Install Prep - Clamps to Deck PostsKids' Choice & City Park Series
Pre-Installation Preparation of Clamps to Deck Posts
Page 3 of 3 714-522Plan installation sequence of Decks and other
system components. Assign each Deck Post
a number. Write numbers by Posts on Footing
Layout or Top View for later reference, then use
a permanent marker to write identical numbers
inside bottom of corresponding Deck Posts.
STEP 3
Place Deck Posts on sawhorses or other sturdy, non-abrasive surface.
Note intended usage and location of each Deck Post (for which Deck heights), and refer to
chart on Page 1. Measure from bottom of each Deck Post and mark location of highest
surface of Deck-supporting Clamp (A), not Deck Support.
STEP 4
STEP 5
STEP 6
Refer to Versalok Fastening System # 714-500 Installation Guide. Slide Deck Supports
onto Deck-supporting Clamp halves, and assemble both halves of Clamp Rings around
Deck Posts tightly, aligning top surface of Clamp Ring (not Deck Support) with mark.
Measure and mark Deck Post at lowest surface of Component-supporting Clamp (B).
Repeat procedure starting at Step 4 until all Deck Posts are position-planned, numbered,
and assembled with Clamp Rings and Deck Supports, when applicable.
FINAL STEP
Assemble Component-supporting Clamp Ring halves around Deck Posts at marks. Verify
that distance between A and B is (C) value in third column of chart. Some installers prefer to
affix Bar Sockets to Clamps at this stage, based on components shown in Top View.

FOR LOOSE FILL APPLICATIONS ONLY: Use Bongo Perch as a standing surface.
To add Perch, notch the Post footing hole to an approximate depth of 18" with center of
Perch footing 12" from center of Post footing. Outer edge of Perch's standing surface
needs to measure 2" from Post. Perch needs to be seated in footing at a depth to
ensure Perch's top surface is flush with finished grade or no higher than 12" above
finished grade. This will guarantee Panel measures correctly. See separate installation
guide included in this manual for Perch assembly.
