Professional Engineering Design Services for Evergreen Lake North Trail

This RFP requests qualifications, an approach and scope of work to develop construction ready drawings and specifications to reconstruct the trail connection along SH 74 on the North Side of Evergreen Lake that will also be cleared environmentally. The identified budget for this effort is $249,500. Key project issues include: • coordination with CDOT that operates and maintains SH 74 adjacent to the trail and will administer the TAP grant, • coordination with the City and County of Denver (CCD) that is the land owner and will have a significant review, oversight and approval role, • coordination with the Evergreen Metropolitan District (EMD) that operates a 12” water transmission line under the existing trail that must be maintained, • obtaining the required environmental clearances so the project can enter into construction, • determining the level of design effort to be applied to the lower boardwalk trail system at this time, • identifying and obtaining all other clearances necessary for construction, such as floodplain, drainage, and historical/cultural clearances as needed, • developing cost-effective design solutions with consideration for lower maintenance and life cycle costs, and • coordinating public and stakeholder involvement.
