Description

The City of Lake Forest is undertaking a CIP (&ldquo;Capital Improvement Project&rdquo;) for the renovation of the Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest (&ldquo;Skatepark&rdquo;).&nbsp; The City is interested in contracting with a community engagement consultant with experience in parks to gather feedback from park users and residents related to the Skatepark and plans to renovate the facility.&nbsp; The City will use the results of this outreach effort to inform the design process for renovating the Skatepark.&nbsp; The renovation of the Skatepark will include major repairs, the addition of park features, and the potential transition to a &ldquo;multi-wheel&rdquo; facility.&nbsp; A multi-wheel facility preserves the quality of the skateboarding experience while incorporating skateboarding alternatives like BMX bikes, inline skates, quad skates and scooters.&nbsp;Community Outreach is to be made up of the Lake Forest Skatepark users, residents, and other parties interested in the remodeling of the Skatepark (&ldquo;Skatepark Community&rdquo;).&nbsp; At least two (2) separate Community Outreach Meetings need to be produced by the Consultant to showcase and solicit feedback related to potential park improvements and the transition to a multi-wheel facility.&nbsp; At the conclusion of the public outreach process, Consultant will need to produce a Comprehensive Report of findings and present this report to both the Lake Forest Community Services Commission and the Lake Forest City Council.&nbsp; The Comprehensive Report will be subject to staff review before presentations.&nbsp;<sp
