Approval of and authorization to execute a Professional Consultant Agreement with ACTION Sports Design, LLC for the Nienhuis Park Skate Park Expansion (Project No. 196029)
End
Background:
In 2006 a Skate Park was built at Nienhuis Park as part of the 2004 GO Bond. In 2018 the voters of Broken Arrow approved additional funds to expand the existing Skate Park. In the years that have passed since the Skate Park was originally built, the types of parks that are built across the country and the types of parks that users prefer have changed. The original park was intended to be used primarily for Skate Boards. New parks today are often designed to be All Wheel Parks, including scooters, BMX bikes and wheel chairs.
An Agreement has been negotiated with ACTION Sports Design, LLC to create a conceptual plan for the park, make construction documents, and assist us during construction. The agreement is for $65,500.00.
City Staff and ACTION Sports Design, LLC will work together to seek as much community involvement as possible. We will utilize public meetings (once permitted) and online feedback to get input from the people actually using our park on what kind of items they’d like to see added to the park. It is anticipated that the expansion to the park will be built to accommodate all non-motorized wheels.
Cost: $65,500.00
Funding Source: 2018 GO Bond
