Speicher Park East Side Skate Park

The Speicher Park East Side Skate Park project involves the complete demolition of an existing concrete skate park followed by the construction of a new facility featuring a variety of skate elements such as walls, ledges, stairs, flatworks, and coping, along with site amenities including topsoil, irrigation, furnishings, and plantings. The scope encompasses detailed tasks like surveying, staking, footing installation, shotcrete application, and the integration of metals and coping, ensuring a comprehensive and functional skate park. The project emphasizes the qualification of contractors, specifically skate park builders with prior specialized experience, who must demonstrate their capability to meet the minimum guidelines outlined in the contract's special provisions. Qualification is contingent upon the submission of a questionnaire, with the city reserving the right to deny qualification to ensure the project's successful completion. The solicitation, issued by the City of San Bernardino under RFQ F-24-4001, is open for responses until April 23, 2024. The project falls under the NAICS code 561730, indicating a focus on landscaping and site preparation services, and is managed by the city’s SLED organization. The primary point of contact is Michelle Parra, reachable via email and phone. Additionally, the contract emphasizes compliance with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals, requiring contractors to submit DBE questionnaires and goals forms to report their participation efforts across various categories, including minorities, women, service-disabled veterans, and LGBTQ. These forms are integral to ensuring that DBE participation is tracked and that contractors meet the city's diversity and inclusion objectives throughout the project.
