About BCI Burke
Few companies can match BCI Burke’s long track record
of quality and its commitment to the priorities of our
customers. Our company has a long and rich heritage dating
back 90 years. In the mid-1920’s, a customer asked us to
fabricate a slide, and ever since, we have been designing
and manufacturing playground equipment.
Many things have changed during the company’s long
lifetime, but we believe our strength and customer focus are
better than ever. Over the years, we have earned a reputation
for responding to the marketplace and to the preferences of
our customers. We are especially well known for our:
• Quality
• Environmental Awareness
• The Industry’s Longest and Strongest Warranty
• Commitment to American Labor and Materials

once all the factors are taken into account, you won’t find a
better playground value.

business and serve you.

to be replaced, due to material defect or workmanship, it

Buying a playground can take a lot
of time and effort for agencies that
set their own specifications, issue RFPs and analyze bids. But a
quicker and easier solution for many agencies is to purchase through
HGACBuy, which for 35 years has been simplifying the process.
Purchasing Burke playground equipment through HGACBuy gives
your agency access to volume purchasing agreements and discounts,
and there’s no need to incur the time and expense of writing specs,
issuing RFPs, advertising and evaluating bids. This can shorten
your procurement cycle by months, while ensuring compliance with
competitive bidding requirements.
Because BCI Burke participates in HGACBuy, members of the
organization can simply purchase Burke playgrounds and related
equipment that has already been awarded based on carefully
written specifications that have already been competitively bid.
Membership in HGACBuy is FREE and available to all units of local
governments, including non-profits providing governmental services.
For more information visit www.bciburke.com/hgacbuy.
A playground purchase doesn’t have to
turn into a drawn-out process of writing
specifications, issuing RFP’s and jumping
through bureaucratic hoops.
BCI Burke can help you cut through the red tape, thanks to the
company’s joint partnership with TCPN.
TCPN is a national governmental purchasing cooperative able
to leverage the purchasing potential of governmental entities in
all 50 states - this means equal pricing for the smallest entity and
the largest buyer. All TCPN contracts are competitively bid and
evaluated by a government entity serving as the lead agency.
We’ve already done the hard part, and we’ll be with you every
step of the way to help increase your efficiency, shorten your
delivery time and stretch your budget dollars.

Complete, Correct and On-Time
Shipments from BCI Burke
Dependability in shipping is one of Burke’s key features in the Total Cost
of Ownership Package™ ensuring you that your playground will be
delivered complete, correct and on-time. BCI Burke’s goal is to achieve
this 100% of the time. Our 3-year average from 2010 - 2012 for complete
and correct is 95.1% and on-time is 96.7%. Burke also holds an average
structure lead time of 4 weeks, meaning your playground will ship from
our facility within 4 weeks of the accepted order date.
Burke proudly maintains one of the industry’s fastest turn-around times,
and we combine speed with unparalleled accuracy. We realize that how
your equipment arrives is just as important as when it arrives.

"Service, Safety, Quality. Three words I would use to describe the people, business model, and overall organizational
standards that inspires the BCI Burke Company. Every organization has a unique set of challenges and goals when it
comes to building an educational environment - and from our experience, BCI Burke came to the table ready to work with
us as partners to meet those challenges and goals head on.
We chose to work with BCI Burke because we needed a reliable company that would be able to provide nothing less than
the highest quality product with our own time limitations. As with most other businesses, we did not have the luxury of
making an investment into a project of this magnitude and not feel 100% certain that we had gotten the very best of our
dollar. We also had to assure our stakeholders that we would see that investment last the test of time.
BCI Burke offered us superb and consistent customer service, the ability to achieve our goal on a fast timetable, and the
confidence that our playground is genuinely the very best in design and safety. This is something that we will showcase in
our school for many years to come.
After working with the company, I know personally they are committed to go the extra mile to satisfy your needs. BCI
Burke is a master in their field but also provide the customer with an intuitive understanding of service".

"I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated working with your local representative...Through the years, I
have worked with a number of playground companies, but never with anyone with the professionalism, commitment and
follow-through of (your Burke Rep). We are all so excited about our children having the opportunity to play on your
wonderful equipment; of course, we want everything! We are so impressed with the many, many possible designs. Thank
you for the quality of your equipment and your local representatives."
