Sources Sought Questionnaire – Design Bid-Build

Project Description and PMIS: CAHA 158701 This proposed multiuse trail is approximately 1.25 miles with a 10 to 12-foot multipurpose paved trail with sections reduced to 8-feet, if required, to accommodate natural resources and other site/budgetary constraints. The trail starts from the intersection of NC Highway 12 and runs parallel to Lighthouse Road up to Forest Road and then along the move path toward the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Cape Hatteras visitor center. A 5-feet wide grass shoulder separates the trail from the road. The trail’s cross section, slopes, alignment, and surface must meet the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) requirements. The adjacent road will need to allow single lane tracking with maintenance of traffic during the construction period. Wetlands adjacent to the proposed trail will need to be protected. The project will integrate approximately five locations for wayside exhibits/rest areas along the trail alignment.
