About this file
This document is an Exhibit A containing program requirements and objectives for the City of Raleigh's design-build project for natural surface mountain bike trails at Forest Ridge Park. The project seeks qualified design-build teams to provide comprehensive design and construction services for mountain bike trail infrastructure at the park. The scope encompasses the creation of natural surface trails designed to accommodate mountain biking activities, with the design-build approach allowing for integrated planning and construction to optimize trail quality and functionality. The City of Raleigh is pursuing this procurement under NC General Statutes 143-128.1A, which governs design-build contracting methods for public entities in North Carolina.
The document establishes the owner's program requirements and project objectives that will guide the design-build teams' proposals and subsequent performance. These requirements and objectives define the technical specifications, performance standards, site constraints, and desired outcomes for the trail system development. The exhibit serves as a baseline document for evaluating bidder qualifications and proposal compliance with the City's vision for the Forest Ridge Park mountain bike trail project. This foundational document ensures alignment between the City's expectations and the design-build contractor's deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.

Exhibit A
Owners Program Requirements and Objectives
Forest Ridge Park Mountain Biking Trail
Forest Ridge Park is a 586-acre outdoor recreation park that is subleased through the
State of North Carolina from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for a variety of outdoor and adventure recreation pursuits with a regional draw. The Park is managed and operated by City of Raleigh, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department
(PRCR).
The Great State Trails grant was awarded by NC Department of Natural and Cultural
Resources for Forest Ridge Park to implement the "Forest Ridge Mountain Bike Trails
Extension Design Report" (2023), which identified trail alignments, environmental impacts, and design recommendations. The project aligns with the USACE's "Falls Lake
Masterplan" (2013) and has USACE support. Mountain bike trails are site-specific features that challenge riders while preserving environmental integrity. Unlike traditional infrastructure, most design decisions occur in the field, where trail builders adapt to natural terrain, place boulders and logs, and contour land to create optimal experiences.
Through this RFQ, the City is seeking a design-build firm to develop the Project to consist of an additional 7.5 miles of single-track mountain biking trails that offer a variety of ride features while accommodating a range of intermediate to advance riding abilities to draw riders throughout the region. Trails will be developed to highlight and with sensitivity to the natural landscape while being enticing yet approachable for a range of riders including adaptive mountain biking.
• The Project shall establish a collaborative relationship between the
PRCR Forest Ridge Park staff, the City’s project manager, and the design-build team to deliver quality design and construction on time and within the City’s budget.
• Develop design sufficient for initial permitting and regulatory review between 30 – 60%
• Develop design sufficient for final permitting and regulatory review between 60 – 90%
• Design and construct a project that will achieve design excellence.
• Have a construction area adhering to City construction and permitting standards.
• Minimize impacts to other public use of the park during design and construction through close coordination with the parks staff and the City’s project manager.
• Provide accessibility and transparency regarding the accounting, development of cost estimates, and overall project finances in partnership with the City’s project manager.
