BACKGROUND On February 20th, 2017 City Council approved the final design concept and specific location for the Skate Park. The approval was the culmination of over 16 months of community engagement and feedback to determine a final concept design and location. In September of 2017, approval was granted to post the RFP for the Skate Park Engineering, Design and Construction Management Services. DISCUSSION Proposals from qualified consultants to conduct the Skate Park Engineering, Design and Construction Management Services project were solicited. The City of Dubuque received the two enclosed proposals. The firms are Pillar Design Studios and MSA Professional Services. Pillar Design Studios has partnered with IIW, P.C. Engineering to assist with the project. MSA Professional Services has partnered with American Ramp Company to assist with the project. Pillar Design Studios was selected for the first phase of the project which included concept design and location. Proposal costs are as follows: Firm Cost Pillar Design Studios/ IIW $57,015 MSA/ American Ramp Company $89,500 1 RECOMMENDATION The skate park consultant selection committee reviewed the two proposals. The committee consists of Tony Breitbach, Purchasing Coordinator: Steve Fehsal, Park Division Manager: Brian Feldott, Recreation Program Supervisor: Wally Wernimont, Assistant Planner: Laura Bies, Kids in Dubuque Skate(KIDS) and Ben Kahle, KIDS and Reality Check employee. After review of both proposals the committee unanimously chose Pillar Design Studios for the Skate Park Engineering, Design and Construction Management Services. BUDGET IMPACT The budget for the Skate Park Engineering, Design and Construction Management Services is part of the $573,000 budgeted for the skate park project. A non-profit citizen group has been asked to commit $200,000 to the project. REQUESTED ACTION I respectfully request approval to negotiate a contract with Pillar Design Studios for the Skate Park Engineering, Design and Construction Management Services. Prepared by Steve Fehsal, Park Division Manager Attachments 2 DESIGN I CREATE I RIDE October 23, 2017 City of Dubuque, Leisure Service Department 2200 Bunker Hill Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 RE: Skate park design RFP Dear Mr. Fehsal, We thank you for the opportunity to submit on the Skatepark RFP. Pillar Design Studios, LLC is more than familiar with the Skatepark project. As the firm that was awarded and completed the feasibility and conceptual drawings for the Dubuque Skatepark, we understand the time and effort that has already been put into the project as well as the dedication from Kids in Dubuque Skate committee. Our goal is to use the information provided during the feasibility and conceptual design stage to help cultivate the final design and ultimately the finished Skatepark. It would be unfortunate to see the original design concept that was created through multiple design meetings, Skate committee discussions and hours of work discarded. Instead, our team will use our knowledge of the project and our relationship with the stakeholders to the fullest, stream lining the process as well as building on the foundation we have all worked so hard to create. As a Specialty Skatepark Firm, we are more than capable of handling all aspects of the Skatepark in- house. We have both a Landscape Architect and Professional Engineer on staff to ensure a smooth transition from conceptual design to construction documentation. We have been involved in over 350 Skatepark projects throughout the United States, all ranging in different sizes and budgets. We are first and foremost advocates for Skateboarding, working all over the world with municipalities, end users, grass root initiatives and non -for-profit organizations to create the highest quality Skateparks in the industry. The feasibility and conceptual design stage afforded us the unique opportunity to have already worked with the City of Dubuque. We have made great relationships with City staff, the Skate Committee, as well as local Skateboarders and we understand the City process, regulations and review procedures. We have teamed with a local Engineering company, IIW, P.C. to aid in the added project amenities and assist with sustainable drainage aspects of the project. Both Pillar and IIW have not only experience working in the City of Dubuque but also have developed and use sustainable — GREEN elements throughout our designs. It is fair to say, we here at Pillar have a vested interest in the Dubuque Skatepark project. We want to see the Skatepark through from design to completion, ensuring the City Dubuque receives the world class Skatepark all community members can be proud of. This proposal and fee will remain valid for a period of 90 days. Mr. Siedlecki will serve as Project Manager throughout the life of the project. He will be working from the Arizona office located at 1960 W. Hawk Ct., Chandler, AZ 85286.

In fact, we continually work with our clients with cost saving approach, techniques and funding allocation For example: Farm Pond Skatepark in Framingham, MA is another example of our approach to designing a Skatepark that fits within a given budget. The City had allotted a budget of $436,000 for the Skatepark. After an in-depth feasibility and site analysis, similar to the Dubuque process, we provide the City with 8,000 sq. ft. Skatepark design. After the construction documentation process was completed, we assisted the City with bidding and construction administration. The park is currently under construction set to be completed next month. With no issues, change orders or delays. We are also well versed in above ground renovation, we have seen a great influx in municipalities interested in upgrading their old, outdated above ground / modular Skateparks. In Annapolis, MD — the City knew they needed to update the current Skatepark facility, as it was falling apart and becoming a safety hazard but funding was very limited. The Pillar team met with the City and discussed possible solutions to the current Skatepark. By using the existing site as the new Skatepark foundation as well as leverage industry contacts, we were able to provide them a 7,000 -sq. ft. Skatepark for only $35,000. We are not only experienced working with municipalities specifically in regard to Skatepark design, planning and construction but we have successfully worked with the City staff in Dubuque on the Skatepark feasibility study. We are more than familiar with the project objectives, constraints, and Skatepark team members. A few examples of our experience in planning, design, cost estimating and construction administration services: DAVID W. DEANE SKATEPARK This was a unique design process as the local skaters had created a booklet of elements that they were requesting into the park. The design team included these elements while considering flow and staying within the budget given. The City knew they wanted to give their local skaters a state of the art Skatepark but the allocation of funds was just not there. Instead of putting the Skatepark off another year, they looked to our design team to aid in in-kind donation allocation and they could not have been happier with the outcome. In the end, the City received a $1,000,000 Skatepark for a $575,000 budget. The City worked with our construction project manager and provided labor for drainage installation, retaining walls, all earthwork, lighting and fencing. This 20,000 -sq. ft. Skatepark was completed for $28.75 a square foot which is $11.25 a sq. ft. under the national average. 11 LATHAM SKATEPARK This 10,000 -sq. ft. Skatepark is unique as it was designed to fit within an existing park system. The site selected for the Skatepark happened to be the home of a 200 -year-old historic Oak tree. In order to preserve the critical root zone of the tree, the Skatepark was designed in two separate sections using a skate -able sidewalk to connect them. After compressive design workshops as well as social media outreach, the final design of the Skatepark consists of a flow bowl section and a street flow with street elements incorporated into the connection sidewalk. Mural located on the back of the vert wall. ATLANTIC BEACH SKATEPARK The Atlantic Beach Skatepark design process was even more of importance to the success of the Skatepark due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean and the soil conditions. After listening to the public input and gathering necessary site information the design team created a Skatepark for all skill levels and age groups. Built upon a sand dune and at sea level, everything was built above ground.

MSA Professional Services, Inc. (MSA) has a great working relationship with the City of Dubuque, and we appreciate the opportunity to introduce our team's unique qualifications for the Flora Skate Park. The skate park has been a longtime goal for the City and you desire a team who knows the ins and outs of a skate park; understands the need for excellent public involvement; and can bring this project to life. It's not every day that a community plans, designs, and builds a skate park, so we're here to help! MSA has teamed with American Ramp Company, who will be there every step of the process and has years of experience designing, building, and of course skating their own creations. We recognize the importance of public involvement, and we are committed to facilitating positive community engagement meetings that will continue to refine the City's vision and aligns it with the project's budget. Thank you in advance for considering us for this important project. Our team is enthusiastic about this project as we know this will be one that the City can be proud of.

We partner with clients to help solve today's complex and multi -faceted infrastructure challenges and improve the quality of neighborhoods. Our focus is to provide exceptional professional services that build strong communities where we live, work and play. MSA's roots reach back to the 1930s. Once a rural land survey company, our firm now consists of approximately 325 engineers, architects, planners, funding experts, surveyors, GIS experts and environmental scientists. MSA excels at helping clients identify grant and funding sources and then delivering high quality, cost-effective solutions.

AMERICAN RAMP COMPANY Corporate Overview "American Ramp Company (ARC) is the result of one skateboarder's dream to do what he loved. From humble beginnings as the son of a missionary living in Southeast Asia, ARC founder and president Nathan Benno was always looking for a place to skateboard, and if he could not find a place, he made a place. In fact, designing and building skate ramps has been Nathan's passion for nearly 20 years. Even today, Nathan is very active in our design department simply because he loves designing obstacles and park layouts that skaters want to ride. This level of experience is not common in the skate park industry, but has been key to our success in becoming the global leader in modular skate park technology. It is our belief that a "modular" skate park should also be a "custom" skate park. Our exclusive modular system was engineered to make your skate park layout as unique and flexible as possible, while also allowing quick installation and ease of maintenance. ARC's innovative approach to skate park design and construction can be experienced all over the world in very diverse cultures and climates. From the United States to the United Kingdom, Canada to Puerto Rico, Iceland to Saudi Arabia, China to Taiwan, skateboarders, inline skaters and BMX bikers are all enjoying creative, challenging, and safe ARC parks that allow them the opportunity to practice their respective sports away from city traffic and landscapes. We look forward to working with you from start to finish in your endeavor to provide such an environment for the youth of your community." - Jim C. Moss, CEO MSA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 1 SCOPE OF SERVICES PROJECT UNDERSTANDING It is our understanding that the City of Dubuque's Leisure Service Department, through its partnership with the local skateboard enthusiast group "KIDS," has successfully secured funding for a new skate park at Flora Park. In addition, the City is planning maintenance and upgrades to two other existing skate park areas. MSA and American Ramp Company have partnered to create a project team that will be able to successfully refine your skate park concept plan that has been carefully created over many months of input and iterations by the City, KIDS and a previous consultant. After any minor adjustments are made to the Flora Park concept and a scope of the improvements to the other two sites is determined, our project team will develop construction and bid documents for the City's use in publicly bidding the work. We will then stay engaged through the construction process to provide oversight and administration for the selected contractor as they build the much anticipated skate park. Utilizing the background and experience provided by MSA's local engineers and American Ramps specialty staff, we will assist the City in a tackling any issues that may arise. Photos courtesy of cityofdubuque.com PROJECT APPROACH MSA and American Ramp Company's philosophy for approaching a project of any size or complexity is to each use our specialized skills to plan for and design a safe yet challenging, multi- functional product that incorporates sustainable features with responsiveness to the budget. Our approach to the detailed scope of services provided in the RFP involves listening to your needs and focusing on the most economical design that meets those needs. The final design will need to address sometimes -conflicting issues and goals and adhere to the project design and construction budget, all while producing a creative and exciting recreational opportunity for the residents of Dubuque. The scope of services for this project was very clearly defined in the RFP dated October 2, 2017. All elements, requirements and deliverables identified in the RFP scope of services are included in the attached fees. For the sake of conciseness, MSA and American Ramp Company did not reiterate the entire required scope in this proposal document. We look forward to this opportunity to expand our relationship with the City of Dubuque's Leisure Services Department. 2 MSA PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND The new skate park project and retrofit work will require the attention of a number of professionals at MSA and American Ramp Company who are experienced in site planning, utility design, grading, storm water quality treatment and of course skate park design and construction. As the Project Manager, Nathan Bemo will facilitate direct, open communication between American Ramp Company, MSA and City of Dubuque's Leisure Services Department. Locally, Jake Huck with MSA will serve as a secondary point of contact for immediate attention to any issues that may arise. Nathan and/or Jake will routinely submit an updated project schedule and project progress reports. These brief descriptions of project challenges encountered and solutions implemented will ensure the project team is efficient while still keeping Leisure Services staff involved and knowledgeable as the design moves into bidding and to completion of construction. MSA's project engineers are familiar with the City's SUDAS and supplemental specifications, as well as the work product preferred by the City through our past experience with other City projects including the Delhi Street/N. Grandview Avenue/Grace Street Roundabout and Permeable Paver Alleys. DESIGN Once pertinent background data is obtained as needed from the City and our own review of the sites, the project team will hold a kickoff meeting with City Staff and other stakeholders so the preliminary design process can begin in earnest. The initial input will be complied into a preliminary design for the proposed skate park at Flora Park based on the previously -developed concept. An investigation intothe extent of the retrofits necessary at the other two sites will be completed, and preliminary recommendations will be provided for review. Sustainability goals and incorporating sustainable features, especially as related to treating stormwater runoff, will be a focus of the project team. Once preliminary design is complete, the design team will coordinate with the City to hold a public meeting to review the details of the planned skate park and retrofits and gather feedback. In addition to public feedback, as the plan and construction document development moves along through preliminary and final design, numerous in-person (minimum of five) and conference call meetings will be used to gather input from Leisure Services Staff and stakeholders. SCOPE OF SERVICES COORDINATION Statewide Urban Design and Specifications (SUDAS) standards will be utilized in assembling plan and bidding documents for Leisure Services use in the public bidding process. Photo courtesy of TravetDubuque corn CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Construction of a skate park is unique and requires specialized experience to anticipate challenges and ensure the intent of the concept and design is manifested in the finished product built by the lowest responsible bidder as required by State bidding laws. MSA's staff is familiar with many of the local contractors who are likely to be either general or subconstractors on-site. American Ramp Company's personnel then have the specialized background from construction management of skate parks around the Midwest—and across the world—to complement MSA's local presence and knowledge. Observation of the construction activities on-site will occur as required in the RFP and as determined to be necessary depending on the selected Contractor's ability and productivity. MSA's local survey team will provide construction staking for the site work and skate park construction as needed. Material testing will be performed by both Terracon staff operating out of their field office in Dubuque and MSA's certified field engineer. During construction, communication with the Leisure Services department will occur on a weekly basis with continued project updates and periodic construction progress meetings. M5A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 3 PROJECT TEAM QUALIFICATIONS ORGANIZATIONAL CHART The MSA and American Ramp Company team has the familiarity with various aspects of construction especially specifying products that can sustain integrity in both cold winters and hot summers. We are able to accommodate the conditions to design and build the best skate park possible. Our team has years of experience in developing parks from early stages of design through construction. We view each park as a new and exciting challenge. Our team will develop a list of opportunities and constraints throughout the initial phase of design, which will help us in determining the best practice of developing the parks overall outcome.

At the dedication, MSA Team Leader John Langhans, PE, said the project is "a true indication of what partnerships are all about." The project was a successful cooperative effort between federal, state and local agencies as well as private parties. "Bundling" several state and federal grant programs (totaling $1.4 million) reduced project costs by 65%. MSA designed the following features for this extremely popular scenic park on the Wisconsin River: • Public ADA accessible boat launch, boarding dock and fishing pier that can all accommodate extreme fluctuations in water levels • Adequate parking for the boat launch and park • Preservation of an existing effigy mound • ADA accessible restrooms, permanent structures and temporary shade structures with amenities • Site lighting • Large site retaining wall and decorative safety railing • Stormwater management and bio -infiltration facility • Native Landscape Plan • Park Signs RIVERFRONT REVITALIZATION Elkader, IA In February 2010 the City selected a team led by MSA to help evaluate in greater detail possible improvements to the river and riverfront, including improved access to the river, dam modification or repair, whitewater recreation, new river walk segments, pedestrian bridges, and a Turkey River Visitor Center. This project featured public involvement, conceptual planning and design, economic impact estimates, cost estimates, and support for grant funding efforts. In 2011 the City again retained the MSA team to prepare more detailed planning and design for a major redevelopment of the south edge of downtown as a multi- use park serving both river -based and land-based recreation opportunities.
