197991 - West Bay Connector Trail - Preliminary Project Design

The City of Salmon Arm (City) is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced firms or individuals to prepare a detailed project design scope document to provide direction to City Council, staff, Adams Lake and Neskonlith communities, and stakeholders on the future construction of the West Bay Connector Trail.

The scoping document will be the first step toward providing bid-ready engineering designs and costing for the West Bay Trail corridor. Preparation of the document will require consultations with all parties involved, and its finalization will document consensus on all elements achieved during the process. The process will table different options available for the trail alignment, ultimately solidifying the optimal corridor alignment and provide design guiding principles for the trail cross section and enhancement elements. Finally, the document will outline and resolve shortfalls in any required design and construction elements (ie: cultural, structural, environmental), and provide a roadmap to moving forward to a public tender for construction.
