About this opportunity

Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT) is seeking design services for the Council Creek Regional Trail (CCRT), a six-mile trail project connecting Hillsboro, Cornelius, and Forest Grove. The procurement involves selecting a consultant to complete preliminary design services utilizing an existing 60-foot wide railroad corridor, with the primary objectives including selecting a preferred trail alignment, developing 20-30% engineering construction documents, and creating a comprehensive cost estimate. The project requires extensive data collection including topographical, geotechnical, environmental, and archaeological surveys, along with public and agency engagement. Proposals were due by July 16, 2021, at 4:00 pm, with a pre-proposal meeting previously held on June 28, 2021. The project demands expertise in trail design, transit corridor planning, environmental impact assessment, and federal NEPA guideline compliance, with deliverables including design alternatives analysis, traffic and intersection treatment evaluations, and preliminary corridor design plans.

The contract, effective through December 31, 2023, with potential two-year renewal options, is funded by a $1,500,000 Regional Flexible Funds Allocation (RFFA) grant from Metro, including a 10.27% local match of $154,050 from the MSTIP Opportunity Fund. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability, and Workers' Compensation policies with specific coverage limits. The estimated annual expenditure is approximately $500,000, with up to $1.3 million available for this project phase. The trail design will prioritize active transportation accessibility for all ages and abilities, connecting urban neighborhoods, local businesses, and transit infrastructure while providing a safer alternative to existing highways. Potential contractors must demonstrate capability in environmental mitigation, stormwater management, transit integration, and coordination among multiple regional stakeholders including Washington County, local cities, Metro, and TriMet.

Opportunity text

Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT) has been awarded a $1,500,000 Regional Flexible Funds Allocation (RFFA) grant from Metro, including a 10.27 percent local match (MSTIP Opportunity Fund approved for $154,050), for Preliminary Design of the Council Creek Regional Trail (CCRT) between Hillsboro and Forest Grove. This project will build on the Master Plan that was completed in 2015 and will be a next step continuation of that work. The intent of this funding is to complete sufficient design (30%) to pursue additional required funding to finalize design and complete construction.

The project will collect data necessary to complete preliminary design for a preferred trail alignment. An alternatives analysis will consider how to best accommodate potential future transit within the corridor.

It is anticipated the trail would be constructed on and within the existing 60-foot wide Railroad corridor. Utilizing the existing railroad corridor is anticipated to reduce environmental impacts. The project will need to address stormwater runoff, which has been identified as a key environmental issue through the Master Plan work. The project will also consider wetlands, flood plain and potential species habitat issues, but it is anticipated that these will be less significant since the project will be built within an existing railroad corridor. Part of this project will be to obtain a more detailed description of the necessary permitting. Some initial review of permitting was done as part of the Master Plan work.
