Committee recommends village enter design phase with American Ramp Company for Allen Fields pump track
Summary
The Recreation Controls Committee voted to recommend that the village contract with American Ramp Company to design a pump track, bike playground and related amenities at Allen Fields, signaling support for pursuing Trails Plus funding and Sourcewell procurement to accelerate work.
The Recreation Controls Committee voted July 23 to recommend that the village enter a design phase with American Ramp Company for a pump track and bike-playground facility at Allen Fields.
Chair said the committee "encourage[d] the village to, enter into design phase with with, American Grama Company to design the pump track in coordination with Overground Sports Park." The motion advanced by roll call recorded four votes in favor of the recommendation (4 of 7 voting members present). The committee characterized the action as a recommendation to village council rather than a final contract award.
American Ramp Company representatives said design work would include 2-D and 3-D plans, community engagement materials and cost takeoffs ready for grant applications. Company staff noted Sourcewell procurement could be used to satisfy municipal purchasing rules and might produce an 8% pricing advantage.
Next steps identified by committee members include preparing a design contract packet for council review, confirming whether Trails Plus grant funds can be used for design work, and scheduling a drone-based site scan and a site-flagging visit to refine the proposed footprint. Committee members slated a site-flagging visit for 08:30 next Thursday and agreed to discuss formal contract language with Rocky and the village prior to council consideration.
