Coconino County Board of Supervisors<br />
approves the <strong>Ft</strong>. <strong>Tuthill</strong> Master Plan, January<br />
2013- including a <strong>Mountain</strong> <strong>Bike</strong> Skills <strong>Park</strong>!<br />
It was the 1970s, nobody wore helmets then…
Now<br />
FBO/CCP&R Agreement on the construction of the <strong>Park</strong><br />
(pending)<br />
FBO has hired IMBA Trail Solutions, with matching funding<br />
from IMBA Trail Building Fund to formulate a site plan and<br />
budget for phases of construction of the <strong>Park</strong>.
IMBA Trail Solutions<br />
Role at this point<br />
IMBA TS will be taking all of our input.<br />
They will generate a site plan (map) and budget.<br />
The plan will be in phases so that we can seek<br />
funding to build in “bite-size” chunks.
FBO Role in the <strong>Park</strong><br />
FBO is not an employer, land owner or building contractor.<br />
FBO to find funding to hire contractors like IMBA Trail<br />
Solutions, Alpine <strong>Bike</strong> <strong>Park</strong>s, Gravity Logic to do the design<br />
and subcontracting necessary to build the <strong>Park</strong> according to the<br />
plan that IMBA Trail Solutions is creating.<br />
FBO to hire contractors to “design and build” each phase of the<br />
<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Designs will need to be approved by County engineers.<br />
Long term role may include the recruiting of volunteers for the<br />
County to do maintenance.
FUNDING!<br />
We will need lots of money! (as much as $200,000-$500,000)<br />
If you are willing to contribute smallish amounts, we will be<br />
putting up “Go Fund Me” type campaigns for the phases, stay<br />
tuned.<br />
If you are willing to contribute larger amounts, we will have a<br />
structured means of recognizing individuals and businesses.<br />
(Signage, recognition on FBO’s web site, etc.) FBO is a 501 C3.<br />
If you are aware of granting organizations or foundations,<br />
please connect us with them.
Please join FBO!<br />

Site Description<br />
Mild slope<br />
About 7 acres<br />
Roughly rectangular<br />
Just north of <strong>Flagstaff</strong> Extreme<br />
Not really conducive to “downhill” style designs<br />
BUT, plenty of options for some flow trails, dirt jumps, etc.
