KABOOM!, Inc. (referred to herein as KABOOM!) is pleased that The City of Tukwila(referred to herein as the
Community Partner) has agreed to collaborate with KABOOM! and FP (referred to herein as the Funding Partner) in
the construction of a new playspace at 11646 42nd Ave S, Tukwila, WA, 98188 (the "Project"). This Community
Partner Agreement (this "Agreement"), which sets forth the Community Partner's obligations in connection with the
Project and certain matters on which the parties have agreed, will, when executed by the duly authorized
representatives of each party, supersede any prior agreements and represent the complete legally binding
agreement between the parties regarding the Project. The Community Partner acknowledges and agrees the
primary source of funding for the Project is a contribution from the Funding Partner. In the event that such a
contribution is not funded, then this agreement shall immediately terminate upon written notice thereof from
KABOOM!.
1. Obligations of the Community Partner. The Community Partner shall work with KABOOM! and the Funding Partner
as well as community residents to design, plan, and build the Project. By executing this Agreement, the
Community Partner is unconditionally agreeing to each of the following obligations, in each case meeting the
requirements provided by KABOOM!:
(a) Contribution. In support of the Project, the Community Partner must contribute $118,500 to KABOOM!, which
will apply the funds directly to the purchase of the equipment. KABOOM! will invoice the Community Partner
for such amount promptly following the execution of this Agreement, which amount must be paid in full at least
thirty (30) days prior to the Project's Build Week (as defined below).
(b) Project Site.
Ownership. At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Community Partner shall provide KABOOM!
with proof of land ownership evidenced by either a deed granting title to the property to the Community
Partner or a letter from the property owner showing approval for the Project. The Community Partner is
the owner of the playspace in its entirety, for the lifetime of the product, including the equipment and/or
safety surfacing at the time purchased by KABOOM! with the financial resources provided by the Funding
Partner.
(ii) Permits. Prior to Build Week, the Community Partner shall obtain or cause to be obtained all necessary
permits and licenses regarding the installation, possession, and use of the playspace in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
(iii) Preparation. The Community Partner shall ensure that the Project site is safe for volunteers and children,
which responsibility includes: (1) preparing the site for the installation of the Project at least two weeks
before Build Week, which may include removing existing equipment, footers, and safety surfacing,
grading the land, repairing existing surfacing and removing fencing (2) conducting up to two (2) utility
checks as reasonably requested by KABOOM! with the appropriate utility companies, with the first test
being completed before Design Day (as defined below) and with all utility check documentation provided
upon completion to the KABOOM! Project Manager who shall supervise the planning and installation of
the equipment (the "Project Manager"); and (3) conducting up to two (2) soil site tests as reasonably
requested by KABOOM!, with the first test being completed before Design Day and with all soil check
documentation provided to the Project Manager upon completion. The Community Partner is responsible
for undertaking any necessary risk mitigation should the soil be deemed unsafe for children and
volunteers.
(iv) Safety and Security. The Community Partner shall ensure the security of equipment, tools, supplies, and
well-being of the adults and children from the beginning of the preparation activities until the conclusion
of Build Week, including any postponement. The Community Partner shall also ensure that all volunteers
sign a waiver and designate a CPR certified staff member or volunteer to serve as the safety leader
onsite for the Build Week.
(v) Maintenance. Maintenance of the facility and supervision of its use is the sole responsibility of the
Community Partner. The Community Partner shall collaborate with KABOOM! during the Project
planning process to develop a maintenance program (a copy of which has been provided) for the play
equipment and, with the support of the property owner (if owner is a separate party), shall maintain the
equipment and the property before and after the Build Week to ensure a safe and attractive playspace.
It is also the responsibility of the Community Partner to ensure that no one enters the playground within
72 hours of the completion of the final Build Day. Anyone accessing and/or touching the playground
within 72 hours of its completion could prevent the concrete from curing properly or the surfacing (if
rubber) from setting properly, leading to long-term damage that would be the responsibility of the
Community Partner to repair. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event any equipment included in the
Project no longer is permitted for any reason to be located at its original site of construction or such site
is no longer controlled by the Community Partner for any reason, then the Community Partner promptly
shall notify KABOOM! following its becoming aware of such situation and shall, at the Community
Partner's sole cost and expense, take such steps as may be necessary to promptly and safely relocate
the equipment (including any permanent signage and other fixtures) to an alternate site that serves
children or to ensure that the successor controlling person of such site shall continue to make such
equipment available to children in the same manner contemplated as of the Build Week and maintain (or
permit the Community Partner to maintain) such play equipment in accordance with the maintenance
program. In addition, if applicable, the Community Partner shall accept and maintain engineered wood
fiber as play equipment safety surfacing, meeting standards established by Consumer Product Safety
Commission guidelines, for the lifetime of the playspace. Guidance and materials for the purpose of
developing a maintenance plan for the playspace are available, upon request, from the play equipment
and safety surfacing manufacturers.
(c) Design Day. The Community Partner agrees to host a KABOOM! facilitated Design Day event with at least
twenty (20) adult volunteers and twenty (20) youth. Such adult volunteers shall remain engaged in the
planning activities throughout the Project's planning process.
(d) Build Week. The Community Partner shall recruit up to 90 total community volunteers to participate in a 3 -

The Community Partner shall ensure that all volunteers sign a waiver (a copy of which has been provided).
