Section 2: Project Details
2.1 Project Description: The City of Beaverton received Spark grant funding administered by the Council of Michigan Foundations through a partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to enhance recreation opportunities on the Trail of Two Cities Connector Pathway.
The City of Beaverton is asking for proposals on all three options separately, with Option A being the option of preference. The City will choose which option fits best into the grant budget. When proposing please give a bid for each option separately.
Option A – A separate pathway (sidewalk) along, and just outside the Knox/Porter right of way, this includes 250’ of 8’ wide boardwalk that connection to existing sidewalk on Porter near the boat launch. Creating a separate path from the road. This option will likely require easements from the property owners, and a proper topographic survey will determine where that will be needed as part of the design. Note: this option was also the one most desired by the community.
Option B – A 4’ wide paved shoulder along Knox/Porter right of way, this includes 250’ of 8’ wide boardwalk and connection to existing sidewalk on Porter near the boat launch. This would simply be an extension of the current 4’ wide shoulder running along Croll from Gladwin. It may require an easement from one property owner on Porter at the Lake. Although this would be an extension of what was installed along Croll it’s not an ideal solution to allow non-motorized users in the area adjacent to the roadway.
Option C – Crossing Knox at Croll and connecting to Sears or Cambel with a 4’ wide shoulder, placing share the road markings and signage to Porter, where a second crossing would connect to the existing sidewalk. This includes 250’ of 8’ wide boardwalk mailto:ssirpilla@beavertonmi.org but dead ends to the north. Also, the two street crossings are not ideal.
The approved scope of work, and City of Beaverton’s subrecipient agreement with the Council of Michigan Foundations is attached.
2.2 Project Budget: The dollar amount of this proposal is intended to cover the cost of project preconstruction, construction, and postconstruction phases, as well as project reporting, compliance and community engagement.
2.3 Anticipated Schedule: Construction may start at any time after construction documents have been completed and approved by the City of Beaverton and Council of Michigan Foundations. Funds are to be obligated by December 31, 2025, and fully expended by September 30, 2026. To meet the encumbrance deadline of December 31, 2025, the funds will need to be part of an executed contract and may be part of a contingency allowance amount. These deadlines are non-negotiable and may not be extended because of federal requirements.
