Project Title: PROFESSIONAL, TECHNICAL & CONSTRUCTION SERVICES: ENVIRONMENTAL SANCTUARY IMPROVEMENTS, ADA PATHWAYS AND SIGNAGE
Project Description: The intent of this RFP is to obtain a qualified Contractor(s) to provide essential professional, technical and construction services to design and construct approximately one (1) linear mile of multi-purpose ADA pathway/trail and service road; educational, name/place and educational signs; fountain structure; park benches; and, other preserve amenities as identified in Section I, Article D of this RFP. The basic scope of work includes the provision of all design/build services necessary to prepare, provide professional services, technical assistance, and supervision during the planning, design and construction of the project.
Located in north Gig Harbor, the Harbor Hill residential area is comprised of apartments, townhomes, single family homes and the Heron’s Key senior living community. Within Harbor Hills Heron’s Key community are two detention-settlement ponds created when the area was developed. These ponds collect and temporarily detain and filter stormwater runoff from the HK campus and surrounding single family and apartment residential neighborhoods.
The 15-acre Harbor Hill Environmental Sanctuary (HHES) area is the perfect place for people of all ages and backgrounds to explore, learn about restoration of the site, area wildlife, and healthy functioning ecosystems – to interact and connect with the natural world around them.
Original construction of the pond has provided pedestrian access to the graveled trail surrounding the pond. And it also connects to a trail system throughout the adjacent wetlands area owned by the city of Gig Harbor Parks making it critical to provide ADA- accessible pathways to help navigate the beautiful terrain. Providing an ADA Surface Walkway to surround the pond will help attract and encourage older adults to utilize and interact in the wilderness space in a much safer manner.
Designed with the principles of universal access in mind, our proposal to install an ADA Surface Walkway will help increase accessibility and a much more enjoyable space for all people - to be enjoyed for years to come.
The design of the trails should consider and use the topography and vegetation in the best way possible to create the best trail experience possible. The contractor should take into consideration a wide range of abilities, specifically including and addressing mobility impairment. All visual elements should complement the landscape and portray the mission of HHES and care for the natural environment.
