TO Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Activation of Phase Two of Design-Build Contract 8192(CCS) with
California Skateparks to Construct Skate Park at Memorial Park
Introduction
This report recommends that City Council activate phase II of the design-build contract
8192(CCS) with California Skate Parks and approve a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
in the amount of $458,750 plus $46,250 (10.1%) in contingency for construction of the
Skate Park at Memorial Park,
Background
The Santa Monica area is considered by many to be the birthplace of skateboarding.
Thirty years ago skateboarding was popularized when skateboarders, in an area
between Santa Monica and Venice historically known to skateboarders as "Dog Town'
demonstrated their aggressive skating skills in pools, stairs, streets and on sidewalks.
Today, the popularity of skateboarding, in-line skating, and BMX biking, among kids and
adults has soared throughout the world. In spite of this demand, there are limited places
to skate in Santa Monica
As part of the FY 2001-02 Capital Improvement Budget process, funds were identified
to design and construct a permanent skate park. Staff studied several potential sites

and on July 9, 2002 City Council approved the staff recommendation to construct the
skate park at Memorial Park. On March 11, 2003 City Council approved a two-phase
Design-Build Agreement with California Skate Parks, In accordance with the Design
Build agreement staff executed an agreement to complete Phase design services and
is returning to Council to activate Phase II of the agreement, which includes completing
construction documents, commencing and completing construction, and approval of the
GMP.
Discussion
Phase one of the Design-Build agreement included developing conceptual designs,
design development, budgeting, and scheduling. California Skate Parks developed
designs with public input at two widely publicized public workshops, at which time local
skaters and bikers reviewed designs and provided feedback on skate park design
features and layout. The final design consists of in-ground concrete bowls and
structures that will provide a flowing and challenging experience for skaters and bikers
at all levels of expertise. The skate area is enclosed with decorative fencing and there
will be a single point of entry for security and control. The storm-water runoff resulting
from the impervious concrete surfaces will be reduced by the installation of new
drywells that will percolate storm-water runoff into the groundwater basin. The design
was reviewed by the Recreation and Parks Commission on November 20, 2003 and
approved by the Architectural Review Board on March 1, 2004. The final conceptual
drawing is attached.
