Introduction: The City of Cottonwood Heights, Utah ("City") is seeking to establish a safe, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian trail along Highland Drive ("Highland Drive Pedestrian Trail"). To this end, the City invites proposals from qualified entities to provide comprehensive services in support of the Project. The City intends to enter into a contract with a consultant ("Consultant") that demonstrates the expertise, experience, and resources necessary to undertake the Project in a thorough, professional, and resource-efficient manner. The Consultant selected will be chosen based on the strength of the proposal, as well as the City's assessment of the bidder's capability to complement and enhance the City's goals for the Highland Drive Pedestrian Trail. The City will review all proposals and may select a successful proposer based on its relevant experience and cost proposal. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals. Project Scope: Project Scope includes a design of an 8-10-foot-wide trail from 7025 South (just south of Fort Union Blvd) to 1-215 along the west side of Highland Drive. This proposed section of trail is Phase 3 of a larger planned trail system along Highland Drive and the surrounding area. See attached map for more location details. This project is identified as Phase 3 on the attached map. All pedestrian accommodations shall adhere to current ADA standards. Phase 1 & 2 of the trail runs along the east side of Highland Drive, from Bengal Blvd to Fort Union Blvd. The proposed trail is planned to cross Highland Drive, from east to west, at the Fort Union Blvd intersection. This project also involves a redesign of the offset intersection at La Cresta Drive and Highland Frontage/Highland Drive to resolve existing vehicular conflicts and provide safe trail access. The current layout creates safety concerns due to the close proximity of the two intersections. The chosen design team will be responsible for developing alternative configurations that improve safety for both vehicles and pedestrians while maintaining access to nearby residential and commercial areas. Contract: The successful proposer will be required to enter into a comprehensive written agreement with the City for the Project. The City Attorney, working with the selected proposer, will draft such agreement based on negotiations, which will be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and will contain such terms and conditions as the City reasonably may require. If the selected proposer and the City Attorney are unable to negotiate an acceptable agreement, then another proposer will be selected by the City and negotiation will continue with such other proposer until an acceptable agreement is completed.
