Rawhide Trail Phase 1. Scope The City of Farmers Branch is undertaking a project to widen a popular concrete trail to enhance its usability and accommodate more users. The existing trail, currently 8 feet wide, will be replaced with a new 12-foot-wide trail. The new trail alignment has not surveyed but has been walked and visually assessed by City staff. This project is critical due to the trail's heavy usage and its alignment parallel to a creek, which presents unique challenges, including flooding issues in certain areas. Consequently, while some segments of the new trail will follow the existing path, adjustments will be necessary in flood-prone areas to mitigate these concerns. The project will involve additional tasks such as excavating, tree removal, and elevating low spots, and relocating dirt as needed. It is important to note that replanting of trees and sodding are excluded from the scope of this project. Given the trail's popularity, the project will be executed in phases to minimize disruption to users. The aim is to keep as much of the trail open as possible, closing only sections that are actively being worked on. Additional considerations include storm water control and implementing light traffic control measures in the adjacent low-traffic residential area. This phased approach not only ensures safety and accessibility for the public but also facilitates a smoother construction process. Bidders are expected to plan their work schedules and site management strategies accordingly, taking into account these operational requirements and the need to maintain a balance between construction efficiency and public convenience.
