Sourcewell is a government agency that combines the buying power of more than 50,000 government, education and nonprofit organizations to establish hundreds of competitively solicited contracts ready for use. Spohn Ranch was awarded a Sourcewell contract in 2016 in the “Athletics & Playgrounds” category and our award-winning design/build services have been made available via Sourcewell’s nationwide procurement service ever since.
Sourcewell awards contracts via a competitive public procurement process. Simplifying and expediting government procurement, government entities (municipalities, cities, counties, state agencies) then join the Sourcewell program and gain access to Spohn Ranch’s products and services – complying with all state and local bidding statutes.
All states in the United States have cooperative purchasing statutes allowing local governments to participate in programs like Sourcewell. With 50,000+ members, chances are your municipality is already a member, but if not, becoming a member of Sourcewell is extremely simple and there are no fees or membership dues. Once you’re a member, purchasing your skatepark is even simpler. To purchase your wheel sports products and services via Sourcewell, simply note both your member number and Spohn Ranch’s contract number on the purchase order authorizing Spohn Ranch to proceed with the work.

BENEFITS OF STREAMLINED PROCUREMENT:
- Reduced Administrative Burden – Sourcewell’s staff of experienced procurement professionals bear the administrative burden, so you don’t have to. Rather than spending time and resources to draft bid documents and specifications, advertise, arrange pre-bid conferences, respond to RFI’s, assess bids and potentially settle disputes between bidders, clients are able to focus their attention on successful completion of the project.
- Quick Turnaround – By eliminating the numerous steps described above, the length of the procurement process is reduced by several months, often up to 90%. Facing an expiring grant deadline or looming winter weather? Sourcewell’s expedited process ensures our crew gets on the ground and your kids are riding as quickly as possible.
- Guaranteed Quality & Price – It’s no secret that roughly 60% of the wheel sports industry’s construction bids come in over budget and have to either be re-bid multiple times or value engineered. Spohn Ranch’s proposal for design/build services uses pre-established pricing to detail a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), meaning no change orders, cost overruns or markup from a general contractor – what you see is what you get.
