Specifications include, but are not limited to: All engineering and planning services to design & permit the easternmost extension of the Chesapeake and Delaware (C & D) Canal Trail. The trail will access the Michael N. Castle / C&D Canal Trail, as well as the Delaware Bayshore Byway, formerly the Route 9 Coastal Heritage Byway. It will act as a “visitation hub” for opportunities through Delaware City (including the Grass Dale Center and former Governor Bacon/Fort DuPont complex, which are all assets now owned and managed by the Fort DuPont Redevelopment and Preservation Corporation (FDRPC). Property owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the C&D Wildlife Area would also provide opportunity for trail access. The project provides the opportunity to connect separate recreational, environmental, historic, commercial, scenic, and educational experiences in Delaware City.
