Nick Caggiano, Superintendent
Parks and Recreation Department
Skateboard Park Design Build Contract Agreement.
To approve the contract for design build services for the relocation of the current
skateboard park with Artisan Skateparks of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina for the
sum of $550,000. Funding will be through Department: 177 Parks and Recreation;
Fund: Trust; Activity: David Deane Skateboard Park.
Proposal and statement of qualifications.
The relocation of the skateboard park was approved by the Planning Board on
September 8, 2016. The next phase of the project is to design and build the
facility. The recommendation of the Division and the skateboard community is to
enter into an agreement with Artisan Skateparks. This firm has over 25 years of
experience in skateboard park design and construction throughout the United
States as well as in the Caribbean and Europe. All of the crew members are active
skateboarders.
The firm also has experience building parks in colder climates such as
Massachusetts, Illinois and Sweden. The selection of this vendor as a sole source
vendor is based on the firm’s ability to design skate parks that appeal to skaters of
all levels of ability as well as the artistic element that is involved in the design.
The Division and skate board community both recommend entering into this
agreement with the sole source vendor Artisan Skateparks of Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina.
