Council awards up to $500,000 contract for BMX pump track to American Ramp Company
Summary
The Page City Council unanimously approved a design-build contract with American Ramp Company for a BMX pump track (option one), not to exceed $500,000; staff said the design includes a beginner loop and elements that could host sanctioned events.
The Page City Council unanimously approved a design-and-construction contract with American Ramp Company for a BMX pump track at the city park, authorizing option one at a cost not to exceed $500,000.
Staff told the council a five-person evaluation committee reviewed four proposals and ranked American Ramp highest. Option one includes a main track plus a smaller beginner speed loop and a raised observation area; staff said the larger layout could meet standards to host some UCI-sanctioned events. City Manager Marberry and park staff said final seating and amenities would be added in-house during the design process.
Counselor Hettinger asked for clarification on whether the two track elements are physically connected; staff replied they are adjacent and function like separate bowls within one park layout. Counselor Hinger moved to approve the contract for option one and Counselor Prowler seconded; the motion passed with all voting in favor.
The contract award directs staff to return with design details as the project moves into the construction phase and to work within the cited budget cap. The council did not specify a construction schedule at the meeting.
