As a specialty Skatepark construction company we understand the need for an experienced Skatepark designer to be involved throughout the life of the project. Our years of Skatepark construction experience has afford us the opportunity to work with many of the top Skatepark designers; we exclusively team with Pillar Design Studios, LLC on all Design/Build projects due to their in-depth planning and design stages as well as their exceptional construction documents. Their professional staff and a decade of experience as a top design firm in the Skate Industry is a benefit to our team and advantage for our clients.

Pillar Design Studios, LLC is a Landscape Architecture firm that specializes in Skatepark design, planning, construction, and process services. Founded in 2006, Pillar is owned and operated by action sports enthusiast and avid skateboarder, Brad Siedlecki. Our business is to create custom, high-quality facilities that truly adhere to the needs of your community, culture, and values.

Pillar evolved as a result of a need for appropriate design methodology pertaining to Skatepark facility development. At the time, clients were simply too unfamiliar with the proper design method and construction practices needed to create successful facilities of this nature. Users were literally walking the involved municipalities through the design and building processes without the technical knowledge needed. This created the ultimate goal of Pillar Design Studios, to provide quality, professional design and construction services from the knowledgeable view point of a landscape architect and active Skateboarder.

We are so much more than a wholesaler of skateparks that offer options out of a catalog. Our team embraces all types of action sport facilities and we believe that each park should be unique, promote creativity, and are versatile enough to include all community members. Our introspective design concepts inspire future generations to think out-of-the-box.

Brad Siedlecki, Project Manager and Lead Designer - Pillar Brad has been a professional in the Skatepark design and construction industry since 2001, serving many different roles from Project Management, Design, Construction Documentation to Construction Management. While attending Arizona State University for his Bachelor’s Degree in Landscape Architecture, Brad continuously pushed the envelope and would challenge even his professors to look beyond the typical park-planning format and introduce a non-traditional approach when developing park systems. Brad’s love of action sports and building skate parks began at an early age but it wasn’t until college that he realized his passion could become a career.

With years of experience serving the needs of municipal and private clients across the United States, Mr. Siedlecki has designed some of the most distinctive and custom Skate, BMX, and Moto-cross facilities in the world. His reputation has been built on integrity, quality of service, the ability to deliver inimitable design concepts and impeccable skill in the production of construction documentation.

Due to his knowledge of the industry and his experience as a Skatepark designer, Mr. Siedlecki is able to convey the needs and wants of not only the municipality but also the end users. Mr. Siedlecki has been involved in over 300 Skate/BMX park projects, due to this past experience he has developed many unique programs to aid the Design Workshop format and create an open forum. This allows each and every design to reflect that particular community and their needs and wants.

Brad understands that even the best designed and well thought out Skateparks cannot be successful if the proper construction techniques and standards are not followed. Over the past decade, not only has he created industry standards in Construction Documentation, specifications and details but has gained invaluable experience working in field during construction.

Brad is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of contemporary society and action sport site implementation. At Pillar, he integrates action sports into the, planning, urban + landscape + environmental design process. He creates sustainable facilities- each with its own character and recognizable identity. It is always his intention to develop a sense of place and community in Pillar facilities through ecologically sound designs that carefully observe the local culture, climate and environment, and follow an inclusive yet innovative design process. Brad will serve as Project Manager as well as lead efforts for the design team.

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. The bowl (the largest on the East Coast) had an extensive construction process, as we had to build the entire bowl out of wood, add rebar then shoot the concrete. Once the concrete cured we back filled around the bowl and re- built the sand dune.

Project Location: Atlantic Beach, NC Designer: Pillar – Brad Siedlecki Project Size: 13,000 sq. ft. Estimated Budget: $600,000 Project Contact: Trace Cooper, Mayor Actual Budget: $600,000 [email protected] Design Complete By: April 2016 p] 252-723-2066 Construction By: July 2016

The park design includes 12’ deep vert bowl and a street/flow section, this section is a combination of street obstacles that blend with “surf style” obstacles to create a park that has continuous flow.

CHEROKEE SKATEPARK PROJECT Our team was selected to handle the Cherokee Skatepark not only for our expertise and Skatepark knowledge but our vast knowledge of North Carolina soil conditions and construction means and methods.

Project Location: Cherokee, NC Designer: Pillar – Brad Siedlecki Project Owner: Easter Band of Cherokee Indians Project Size: 13,000 square feet Estimated Budget: $600,000 Actual Budget: $600,000 Design Completed by: January 2011 Construction Completion: March 2011 Project Contact: Doug Cole, Strategic Planner Easter Band of Cherokee Indians P: 828.497.1677

The Cherokee Skatepark project included turnkey Skatepark Design and Construction services as well as a parking lot, entry sidewalk and landscaping. The Artisan Pillar team is known for designing parks that are specific to the needs of the skaters in that community, and that is exactly what we provided to the Skaters of Cherokee. This new Skatepark is situated on 3.5 acres and is literally built into the side of a mountain. The Skatepark has a something for everyone, a 3 tier design that offers consistent flow between each section. A good mix of skate-able terrain the Skatepark offers a pool, flow bowl and street course. We also added color concrete and the tribe logo “bear claw” to incorporate the local history into the Skatepark.

What are people saying about the park? The 'street' area was well designed and creative too, with a bunch of options and lines galore. The peanut bowl is the highlight in my opinion, with great, smooth trannies, pool block, and tile as well. The park is mellow, in a nice area and was full of friendly locals. – Posted on Concrete Disciples by HK Forever

Phase 1 was completed in 2011 but the overwhelming support and use of the Skatepark convinced Council to add Phase 2. Phase 2 was designed for beginners; opened in summer of 2013, this area of the park helps introduce the first time skateboarders and bikers to the sport.

Another Artisan Pillar park that was designed for Skate and BMX users. LATHAM SKATEPARK This 10,000 sq. ft. Skatepark is unique as it was design 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.

Project Location: Greensboro, NC Designer: Pillar – Brad Siedlecki Project Owner: City of Greensboro Project Size: 10,000 sq. ft. Design Completed by: March 2017 Construction Completion: May 2017 Estimated Budget: $420,000 Actual Budget: $575,000 Project Contact: Jerome Williams, Project Manager, City of Greensboro, Engineering p] 336.373.7554 , [email protected]

This was a turnkey design build project– Handling all aspects of planning, design, DD, CD & Construction – which included site selection, public input meetings and stormwater management. Pillar served as Designer/Landscape Architect, Artisan as Specialty Construction and Adira as the General Contractor.

VANCE STREET SKATEPARK Our team was sought out by the Prime Engineer for this project after the original designer was let go due to poor performance and not being able to meet budgetary and scheduling requirements. Pillar significantly improved the “flow” of the park and enhanced the skate-able elements without making vast changes to the park layout, as it had been vetted through the local stakeholder and public involvement process.

Our team collaborated with the Town’s horticulturalist to select specimen trees that are native to western NC, represent the best performers in the region, and to add trees to the town’s inventory that were not as prevalent. We stretched the budget to balance the hardscape with a beautiful and abundant landscape which also included several tons of boulders that were hand selected and transported from the town’s landfill.

Project Location: Waynesville, NC Designer: Pillar –Brad Siedlecki Project Owner: City of Waynesville Project Size: 10,000 sq. ft. Design Completed by: March 2013 Construction Completion: May 2017 Estimated Budget: $250,000 Actual Budget: $250,000 Project Contact: John Jenkins, PE – Stewart Engineering, Inc. 919.719.1045 , [email protected]

This 10,000 sq. ft. park encompasses a street orientated design with numerous obstacles to increase the flow and overall connectivity. Everything is designed with the idea of not having to push but allowing the velocity of the features to propel you throughout the park. The park also includes a pedestrian plaza with a special area to display donor recognition bricks, a connection to the local greenway and adjacent dog park, and relocation of two tees as the park was designed in the fly zone of two disc golf holes.

ROANOKE RAPIDS SKATEPARK The Roanoke Rapids Skatepark was truly a community effort. The City knew they had a need for a quality Skatepark but funding was an issue. During the initial kick off meeting and site visit our Design Build team discussed in-kind donation allocation and working with the City to ensure the best, biggest park for the dollar. The City provided countless hours of labor during construction, including but not limited to rough/fine grading, all import fill materials, placement & compaction of said materials, storm drain materials as well as installation and engineering and housing during construction. Then result was a Skatepark complete for $18.75 when the national average is $40 – 45.

PROJECT APPROACH It is our understanding the City is looking for an experienced, professional Design/Build team to design and construct a cast in place concrete street course style Skatepark. The Skatepark should draw and engage local users, while challenging all skill levels. The Skatepark is to be located on old tennis courts, located within Enfield Park and the footprint of the Skatepark should not surpass 120 x 205. The design team should have immense experience in Design and Construction, include the public in regards to design and style as well as consider maintenance and safety requirements. The City’s intent is to repurpose the tennis court floor.

Skatepark Means and Methods The objective is to create facilities that offer distinctive site-specific designs, which are sensitive to both the client’s wants and the user’s needs. The idea is to create an aesthetically pleasing park that all community members can enjoy. We understands that many factors determine a successful park - and just like any planning process, time must be put forth during the initial development process in order for it to be evident in the final product.

Key Factors During Design:  Public Process – Community Involvement  Designs that consider all ages, styles and abilities  Overall fit within the park complex; integration, accessibility and aesthetics  Site Specific Designs – Creating a Skatepark that best uses the site given  Structural and Safety Standards, GREEN Methods, ADA Compliant  Quality over Quantity, Designers consider flow, traffic patterns and various users  Creating a recreational space for all community members

Beneficial Expertise Specific to the Elizabeth City Skatepark  Skatepark Feasibility/Evaluation o Our experience will ensure success during site assessment and ultimately Skatepark placement on the site. Our masterplan experience has been a great asset to our clients when walking municipalities through the process and ultimately offering recommendations when it comes to long-term viability, maintenance, skate-ability, location, integration, visibility, aesthetics, etc.

 Local Knowledge, Understanding and Presence from the Skatepark Specialty Team o Not only has our team completed 18 + Skateparks in North Carolina. Artisan Skateparks is located in Kitty Hawk, just an hour away. As well as many of our construction staff are located around the area and will be users of the facility. Likewise our on staff Skatepark Professional Engineer is also based in North Carolina and has over 20 years’ experience in the area. License #027540

 Community Involvement o Community involvement is much more than just a public meeting or two. By implementing the user’s request, we are able to create something that reflects the area, culture and individuals that make up Elizabeth City. We will use social media and open lines of communication to ensure the users request are heard.

DESIGN PROCESS Our Design process begins with a Project Kick Off Meeting – at this time we will begin collecting all existing data on the sites as well as Skate facilities. The Kick Off Meeting is where all team members are able to set the tone for the project, discuss goals, expectations, scheduling, budgeting and request any additional information that may be needed, ie geo-technical report or topographical survey. Please note we have already reached out to local firms in the area if the need for additional surveys and reports is needed. The Kick Off Meeting is a great way to collectively begin this project, allowing for all team members to have input on the process.

Before conducting the public meetings, our Design team will conduct a site visit with the necessary City staff and or any stakeholders the City deems essential. The site visit will allow us to review existing conditions first hand, discuss potential limitations, opportunities and ideas.

OBJECTIVES: . Drainage and or Stormwater Management – GREEN elements . Structural and Safety Aspects – Such as crime deterrents . Skate-able Art Elements – Structures, Colors, Textures, In-Corporation of local heritage . Best use of the site, maximum square footage, minimizes unnecessary construction

Public Involvement and Social Media Central to our team’s approach is engaging the local Skate community and developing their ideas into a final concept. It is always our goal to give your community and local users a park of their dreams, we are here to cultivate and progress their ideas into a fully functioning one of a kind Skatepark. This is why each and every Artisan Pillar park is different and we believe the key to our success.

By conducting a series of Public Meetings, we are able to involve the local community in creating their very own Skatepark. We employ an interactive approach, where we provide visual aids, to help illustrate the different types of Skateparks and what can be done. Having community members participate with sketching, group discussions and visual aids – we are able to draw on the local users style, creativity, needs and wants. This open line of communication is the back bone of our design philosophy.

The public participation process will not be limited to a fixed number of public meetings--which typically only benefits a small number of the attendees who are available to participate on that particular day. Instead, our Team intends to reach out to skaters and other members of the community to the furthest extent possible.

Social Media outreach: • Facebook: Pillar would be happy to use an existing FB page or create a new one. This forum offers us a place to post concepts, messages and directly interact with interested parties. Users are able to create discussion, send messages and stay informed throughout the entire life of the project.

• Twitter: Our twitter account will provide updates on status of the project and keep users current. Connecting to facebook and our blog, this is yet another medium to keep team members informed and up to date. With the use of mobile applications today, twitter has been a great way to increase public awareness as well.

• Instagram: Our account was created to inform and update users, communities and municipal officials. We will continue to post relevant industry information, as well as post announcements and project updates.

• YouTube: Keeping users and team members informed throughout the process (have you seen a trend yet) is important to us but not just during the design phase. Our youtube account will show users and City official’s videos of construction, Grand Openings and users enjoying the final product. It is a true testament to our quality and dedication to the Skating Industry.

Skate-able Architecture Our design team looks forward to working with your local users and community members. Skaters, by nature, are artistic and creative individuals, we would like to tap into that and create skate-able architecture. Every community has that favorite spot the local users frequent. In order for skate-able architecture to be successful, designers must find ways to blend elements of public sculpture and site amenities into skate-able art elements. These artistic structures provide stimulating works of art that can be admired by all community members. Our skate-able architecture elements are custom designed and ultimately tap into the local culture and history.

For Example: In Cherokee, NC – We created the tribal logo with staining of concrete, in Atlanta, GA we added a graffiti wall where local artist are able to show case their work. In Front Royal, VA we duplicated a Civil War Cannon and making it into a skate-able .

Conceptual Design Once we have reviewed the existing information, visited the site and gathered input from the local users, community members and the Skatepark advisory team – conceptual designs begin to take shape. We will provide full color renderings, site specific and custom to the needs of your community. Our designers will take into consideration budget, ADA compliance, accessibility and GREEN elements, while balancing flow, terrain and skate-ability of the Skatepark. The conceptual designs will be delivered in both 3D and plan view. Simultaneously, our cost estimator and construction project manager will be sourcing local labors (for non-specific skate-elements), local materials and equipment cost to provide you with an accurate preliminary cost estimate. By including them in the design phase we are able to provide our clients with accurate project budgets.

Construction Documents Upon approval from the client, our design team will create a complete Construction Document Package – that meets the standards of both local and State regulations. Our Design staff is not only familiar with Skatepark standards and regulations but Mr. Siedlecki was one of the people responsible for many of these standards. After a decade in the Skatepark industry, designing and creating construction documents he has created a comprehensive package that has become the industry standard. We are knowledgeable of ACI, ASTM and CSI formats. As well as follow ASTM: F2334 and F2480 standards. We are recognized as qualified Skatepark Design/Builders by the Foundation and Skaters for Public Skateparks, the industry educators in regards to Skateparks. We are the ONLY Skatepark team that has in-house staff handle the production and sealing of our CD package. Meaning not only is our team experienced in producing the package, the City is gaining the knowledge and expertise of industry experts. We are more than familiar with both local and State process. The final package will be stamped by Professional Engineer, unless otherwise requested. At this time the permitting process will begin.

Construction Once the final Construction Documentation Package has been reviewed and approved, we will begin the Construction phase. The first step is to conduct a Pre-Construction meeting, at this meeting we will review the tentative construction schedule, discuss any potential limitations and opportunities, while address any comments, questions or concerns the City might have.

Turn-Key Construction will begin: Our local, experienced Skatepark construction crew will work with the City to ensure proper scheduling and completion dates are met. Throughout the construction process our Construction Manager will keep the Design Team apprised of milestone tasks, such as: Staking & Excavation, Rebar, Forms and Coping Review, Shotcrete, Flatwork and final walk through. The Design Team will receive biweekly updates that consist of schedule, budget and actual photos of the park construction. This line of open communication ensures the final Skatepark to be completed per plan, on-time and within budget. Since our Construction team is involved throughout the entire Skatepark process (Design Phases), they are able to execute the Designers needs and wants within the field.

Upon completion of the Skatepark Construction the PM as well as Construction Lead will walk the Park with the City and complete a final checklist of each key aspect of the park. Once the park is completed and the final walkthrough has been approved we will begin project closeout. Post construction activities are about wrapping the project up completely and to the level of comfort that the City requires. This phase completes the Skatepark project and gives you the tools needed to open to the public. Our team will provide the City with all necessary close-out materials, such as Maintenance information as well as typical rules and regulations for public Skatepark facilities.

5. COST CONTROL AND BUDGET MANAGEMENT We have an exceptional track record when it comes to cost estimating and value engineering. All design staff are educated on the proper construction techniques and standards as well as have hands on experience in Skatepark Construction. Before finalizing the final design, we make certain we will meet the project budget without any change orders. Our past experience not only provides examples of cost control, but we have also developed many programs that can dramatically reduce the overall construction cost and or add Skate-able square footage without any additional cost to our Clientele.

 Long Term - Our approach is to always create parks that fit within the natural topography of the land, thus reducing the amount of excavation and or fill needed, plus providing a unique and completely custom Skatepark. We create a design that minimizes maintenance costs, both in repair and general clean up. By consulting with your maintenance department we will ensure a proper long term plan that is feasible for the City to complete.

 Short Term –The Artisan Pillar team is the leading name when it comes to in-kind donations and working with municipalities during the construction phase. We have developed and implemented numerous procedures that allow municipalities, communities and local business to get involved and help create their local Skatepark. By working with our clients, we have been able to complete projects for less than half of the budgeted cost. We would be happy to discuss these cost saving methods with you in more detail.

6. TEAM MEMBERS All team members listed will be directly involved through the lifecycle of the project. We guarantee no team members will be changed without first receiving approval from the client.

7. IN-HOUSE SERVICES As a Skatepark Design Build team, we typically handle all aspects of the Skatepark design and construction in house but the following services are subbed out when necessary.

Design Stage: * Geo-Technical Report * Topographical Survey * In-depth Stormwater Management Construction Stage: * Surveyor – To assist with the layout of the park, ensuring the park is constructed per plan. * Flat Work – We have hired sub consultants to handle flat work finish – this allows us to: #1 - Put funds back into the local economy. #2 - Expedite the Construction Schedule as our guys can finish up other work on site simultaneously. Even when we do hire subs for the flat work our specialty crew sets the grades, places the rebar and manages the local flat work crew. Our first priority is the quality of the Skatepark. In House Services Include but are not limited to: Feasibility Site Selection Funding Support Grant Submissions Master planning Conceptual Cost Estimates Stormwater Design Development Construction Design Management Documentation Layout Staking Grading Excavation Stormwater Management Fine Grading Formwork Imbedded Steel Reinforcement/Concrete Shotcrete Installation Work Pool Coping Tile Masonry Works Flatwork Waterproofing 8.

As a custom Skatepark Design Build team we pride ourselves on working with our clients and providing the most skate-able square footage for the dollar. During the design stage we will work with the City to include any possible donated materials, labor and services – that will ultimately lower the square footage price. Once a final design has been agreed upon, the design team as well as the construction manager will prepare a detailed cost estimate.

We are providing a lump sum price of $180,000 for the Enfield Skatepark Project. This is a turn-key price, including all design, construction and reimbursable expenses. Reimbursable expenses are anticipated not to exceed $600.

TIMELINE Please note the timeline provided is based on previous experience with projects similar in size and scope. We are capable and willing to meet any deadline set forth by the City. By providing clear and concise deadlines at the Project Kick Off Meeting, Pillar Artisan will keep the entire team apprised of the schedule both verbally and in written form.

WARRANTY INFORMATION Our team guarantees that the highest qualitative standards be utilized in both planning and execution of the construction of each concrete Skatepark. We guarantee that all approved materials in the construction of all skateparks are new and free from defect.

Please note that we have created specialty “Skatepark” mix designs, specially formulated for durability, longevity and skate-ability. All concrete has a compaction rate of 4,000 – 6,000 PSI, while pre-cast construction usually exceeds 8,000 PSI. This increase in PSI levels leaves the concrete brittle and prime for chipping, cracking and deteriorating.

We are happy to offer the Owner a one year unconditional warranty from defects in workmanship and material quality not caused by the normal wear and tear of the Skatepark facility.

CONCEPT DESIGN Please note the concept provided is merely an example of our design style and intent. It is by no means the final design for the Enfield Skatepark. The final design will take into consideration site restrictions, public input, Client’s needs and users wants.

As noted in our cost section, our team is submitting a lump sum not to exceed amount of $180,000 for the Enfield Skatepark project. This is an all-encompassing fee including but not limited to site analysis, design and construction. The final Skatepark will be designed site specific and built on-site, therefore there are no added freight, tax or installation fees.

We thank you for your time and consideration and welcome any questions you might have.

Sincerely, The Artisan Pillar Team
