102424 - RFP for DESIGN and ENGINEERING SVCS MULTI-USE TRAILS ALONG US ROUTE 34 & CO 7

The Town of Estes Park intends to enhance the existing trail network with improvements to two key travel corridors: US-34 and CO-7. US-34 is an east-west principal arterial highway and a primary gateway entrance into Estes Park from Loveland. CO-7 is designated as a minor arterial state highway, but also serves as a local roadway through town and provides a north-south connection from Estes Park to Allenspark. Both roadways have existing separated multi-use trails but the facilities are not continuous, have deteriorated surfaces, do not comply with accessible guidelines for outdoor facilities, and lack appropriate signage, striping, safe crossings and connectivity to adjacent facilities. The proposed projects will include design of both trail segments, which will comply with the
Estes Valley Master Trails Plan, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Bike Guide, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Although the projects are being funded by the Town of Estes Park, both projects are within CDOT rights-of-way and are required to comply
with CDOT Roadway Design guidelines. Proposals should include planning, community engagement, schematic design, and preparation of final construction documents for each trail segment, separated into individual tasks:
 Task 1: Trail Design for US-34
 Task 2: Trail Design for CO-7
