Nisqually Loop Trail Interpretive Signage

The City of Lakewood, Washington is requesting proposals for construction and site improvements on the Nisqually Loop Trail at Fort Steilacoom Park (8714 87th Ave SW, Lakewood, WA 98499), with proposals due August 6, 2026.

The scope encompasses temporary erosion control, tree protection, temporary fencing, clearing and grubbing, excavation, grading, pavement demolition, concrete paving, site furnishing installation, fabrication and installation of interpretive signage and artwork, and landscape restoration for a loop trail in the southeast area of the park. The work requires coordination of erosion control measures with tree protection protocols to minimize environmental impact during site preparation and grading. Interpretive signage and artwork must be fabricated and installed as part of the finishing work to create an educational trail experience. Landscape restoration is specified to follow primary construction completion to ensure site stabilization and aesthetic integration of the completed infrastructure.

The attached project description document (Nisqually Loop.pdf, 470 KB) contains design specifications and technical requirements for trail construction, material specifications for concrete work and site furnishings, and standards for interpretive signage and artwork fabrication and installation.
