To have clear communication with any skatepark builder, be sure to send out an RFQ (Request for Qualifications or an RFP (Request for Proposal). Once you receive your packets from the different vendors, review the received information and start formulating your interview questions with your prospective vendors. Most importantly, understand what your needs are so that you hire the best vendor for your community.
