The City of Fayetteville is requesting the submission of qualification statements from consulting Civil Engineering & Landscape Architecture firms to provide professional design engineering services for the development of the Cape Fear River Trail Extension. The trail extension will run south parallel with the Cape Fear River, starting at 700 Cape Fear River Trail and ending at Persons Street. One firm will be selected to provide design engineering services for the project. The Cape Fear River Trail Extension is located in the City of Fayetteville and shall consists of a (10)-ft. wide asphalt/concrete multi-use trail with (2)-ft. crushed stone shoulders and (3)-ft. turf shoulder. The existing Cape Fear River Trail is a path for walkers, joggers, bicyclists and others utilizing non-motorized transportation. The existing Cape Fear River Trail winds for 7 miles, one-way, through a beautiful blend of trees, plants and wildlife with spectacular views of the river. The Cape Fear River Trail Extension trail shall be a paved surface and boardwalk designed to AASHTO and ADA guidelines. It will provide a seamless and safe non-motorized route between the existing Cape Fear River Trail and the future River Park. The consultant will work with a steering committee formed at the onset of the project. The City of Fayetteville will coordinate and facilitate all steering committee and public meetings. The consultant will be expected to provide necessary visuals (for the meetings and website) and be present to discuss any issues or questions that arise. The right is reserved to reject any or all bids and to waive all informalities concerning bid or award bid to the lowest, responsible bidder or bidders, taking into consideration quality, performance and the time specified in the proposals for the performance of the contract.
