The CRD is looking for a creative consultant team to lead the design process for the Salt Spring Lions Commemorative Bike Park on Salt Spring Island. The 0.8 acre site is located at 160 Seaview Rd in the southeast corner of Mouat Park in Ganges Village. The Bike Park is envisioned as a woodland park, compatible with the surrounding natural areas and existing park uses, and welcoming to bike riders of all ages, especially young children.
The successful team will have demonstrated strong public engagement and communication skills, as well as a high level of technical expertise and experience in the following areas: landscape design, site planning and public space planning; bike trail design that considers flow, skill development and maintenance; stormwater management; and natural habitat restoration.
The project will include four major components:
1. Concept Design
2. Stakeholder and Community Engagement
3. Final Design and Construction Drawings
4. Stormwater Management Plan
The components are expected to be undertaken by a single multi-disciplinary team. The stormwater management plan will be integral and help to inform the Bike Park design.
