products to our valued customers.
American Ramp Company is the result of one skateboarders dream to do what he
loved. The son of missionaries growing up in a remote part of Southeast Asia, ARC
founder and president, Nathan Bemo was always looking for a place to skateboard,
and if he could not find a place, he made a place. Starting American Ramp
Company out of his garage 23 years ago, it is Nathans passion for skateboard and
action sports that has positioned ARC as a world class designer and builder of
action sports facilities. To this day, Nathan is very active in our design department
simply because he loves designing obstacles and park layouts that skaters and
bikers want to ride. ARC is the only action sports contractor in the world that offers
every skate and bike park build method. This puts ARC in a unique position to
approach our customers as experts with solutions and not as a salesperson that only
has one agenda to push. Our belief is that every community has users who are
drawn to individual focused action sports over team sports. It is our mission to be a
resource to any community who makes a commitment to invest in safe and fun
infrastructure for skaters and bikers.
For more than 20 years, we have built and maintained constant focus on enriching
the life of all end users of our parks by providing high end parks that entire families
can enjoy together. We employ the most talented and qualified individuals in the
business who are each dedicated to producing the absolute best product for our
customers. At American Ramp Company we are a family.
We believe that communities need challenging and safe places to gather and
recreate. Our passion is focused on action sports as designers, builders and
participants. Getting people outside and active on a consistent basis changes lives,
and changing lives helps to change the world.

Sales force.
American Ramp Company can assist our customers through every level of park
development all within our own in-house team members. ARC employs a captive sales
team which is structured to operate within designated regions. Currently, we have the
following in house sales staff members:
Two In-house Sales Representatives for East Coast
Two In-house Sales Representatives for Central Region
Three In-house Sales Representatives for West Coast
Three In-house Sales Representatives for Canada
Three In-house Sales Representatives for International
One In-house Sales Representative for Maintenance Products
Two In-house Business Development Team Members
At the sales level our team is actively working with over 3,000 individual clients who
are at different stages of project development. We normally attend every state's park
and recreation conference and tradeshow to make ourselves available to our current
customers and to develop new relationships. This past year that has proven difficult,
so we have attended the ones we are able to attend and have had hundreds of
meetings with our clients virtually. On a normal basis our sales team spend
approximately 50% of their time on the road meeting with our clients to advance the
progress of their projects.
24
Dealer network or other distribution methods.
We have non-exclusive relationships with many dealers who have customers that are
interest in our services and products. Our dealers will ask that we assist them in
providing action sports solutions to their customers since those recreation segments
are outside of their depth. Most of these dealer relationships are with Play Power
dealers and reps which make the Sourcewell conversation very clean since they too
carry a Sourcewell contract. Sales through these dealer relationships represent less
than 5% of our total sales as most of our projects are worked factory direct through
our captive sales force.
25
Service force.
Customer service and warranty service is all handled completely in our office by our
customer support and installation staff. The parks and recreation market is a very
connected one so we understand the importance of customer experience and want to
control every aspect of that directly. We have more than 30 trained equipment
installers, onsite construction crew members and maintenance staff to be able to
deliver the highest quality parks to any customer. Our dedicated maintenance staff has
the ability to handle warranty claims and provide ongoing maintenance options to our
customers on a very quick turnaround because it is all handled directly from our
corporate headquarters.

Our dedicated marketing team works to ensure that our website remains up to date and
relevant to customer needs. We analyze what the customers in our industry are searching
for and use data and metadata to steer our messaging both in content and delivery
method.
Social Media:
American Ramp Company is currently on Facebook, Instagram and You Tube. Our goal on
these platforms is to provide our customers with information on our current parks that will
add value in seeing where we are building and what our finished products look like. Social
media is also a fun and interesting way to share with others the joy that the end users are
being provided because of the different products and services we bring to communities.
E-Blast:
American Ramp Company frequently sends out E-blasts to all surrounding customers when
we have a new park opening, are attending a local tradeshow, introducing a new product,
and many other reasons. We feel that E-blasts are a successful email marketing tool that
can raise awareness of our business and products to keep us on the minds of existing
and potential customers.

alter in order to maximize our customer satisfaction while minimizing our environmental
impact. American Ramp Company has always looked for ways to decrease our carbon
footprint. We hold firm to the belief that focusing on building the highest quality, longest
lasting skateparks will insure minimum environmental impact. By building skateparks right the
first time we guarantee resources are not needlessly being used to replace or repair.
Our industry did not have baseline environmental standards and for that reason we took the
lead to develop initiatives and with one other skatepark company founded Green Skate. As
one of the founding members of Green Skate we have adopted a policy to evaluate
environmental impact of every decision we make. Green Skate is an initiative set forth to
create baseline standards for sustainability in the production of skateparks. Below are a few
of the critical objectives of Green Skate.
Green Skate Initiatives
Use recycled and recyclable productions — Utilize resources that are recyclable and/or
composed of recycled materials
Practice Lean Manufacturing — Identify any areas of waste and excess. Maximize
efficiency and accuracy of work force, energy and materials. Manufacture equipment when
ordered so energy and materials are not being wasted on inventory storage.
Seek Environmentally Sensitive Partners and Suppliers — Team up with vendors and
business partners that are taking their own steps to protect our environment and natural
resources. We seek out vendors and suppliers that are operationally proximal to avoid
trucking raw materials over a long distance.
Employee Culture — Encourage employees to constantly evaluate their work processes
and identify areas that can be improved to increase efficiency and environmental
sustainability.
ARC also employs LEED Accredited individuals that help keep focus on environmental
sustainability within the company.

Proposer's Affidavit
PROPOSER AFFIDAVIT AND ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE
I certify that I am the authorized representative of the Proposer submitting the foregoing Proposal with the legal authority to bind the
Proposer to this Affidavit and Assurance of Compliance:
1. The Proposer is submitting this Proposal under its full and complete legal name, and the Proposer legally exists in good standing in

solicitation.
4. To the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed in the Proposal, there are no relevant facts or
circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when a
