Project Title: Rocky Branch Park Improvements - Blue Zone Trails
Project Description: Rocky Branch Park is located in Belmont, NC. Totaling approximately 41 acres, the park is comprised of wooded, rolling terrain with its namesake stream, Rocky Branch, meandering through the property from east to west. This small urban tributary of the South Fork Catawba River drains a highly developed urban landscape and features a trickling boulder-strewn stream bed.
The Blue Zone Trails is the third phase of a multi-phased plan outlined in the Rocky Branch Trail Enhancement Plan. The base bid consists of furnishing all labor, materials and equipment for construction of approximately 7,000 linear feet of intermediate single track mountain biking trail and other ancillary construction necessary for the completion of this work at Rocky Branch Park as specified herein and by the City’s Parks and Recreation Director or Designated Agent.. The project includes construction of a 2 to 4 foot wide natural surface single track mountain biking trail constructed primarily using bench-cut rolling-contour techniques with creative implementation of natural elements such as rock, maximization of the landscape’s flow and topography, and surface terraforming where necessary. The goal of the blue zone trails is to create a both challenging and highly entertaining experience while providing various opportunities for riders to hone their bike handling skills, test their abilities and experience trail features usually found in the mountains or at bike parks. Technical features in this zone ramp up in intensity, where unavoidable obstacles up to 6” are almost always present in the trail surface, and trail features provide the opportunity for airtime and increased speeds.
The contract also consists of one add alternate bid which includes furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment for construction of the trailhead entry monuments. This add alternate bid will be awarded based on project budget availability.
