Scope of Services
Forest Ridge Mountain Biking Trail
The City of Raleigh is seeking a design-build team with proven experience in development
of single-track trails which incorporate natural and built features. The trails will
accommodate a variety of riding styles, maximize ride conditions, and minimize need for
maintenance and environmental impacts. Services include design and field layout of
planned routes, survey, engineering, cost estimating, permitting at City, State and Federal
levels, and construction of trail, special features, backcountry bridges, and boardwalks.
The team will be expected to coordinate and comply regulatory constraints set by State
and Federal Agencies as appropriate including the land-owners, NC Department of
Natural and Cultural Resources, the US Army Corp of Engineers and land managers,
Raleigh Parks. Professional Trail Builders Association membership preferred.
Design-Builder Phase I milestones will include 30%, 60%, 90% permit approvals, and
final design. There shall be PRCR staff approval of the field layout of trail routes and
proposed locations and design for special features, bridges and boardwalks. Design
build scope will include cost estimation and budget reconciliation at every design
milestone, permit submission and permit approval.
This project is to be completed no later than Spring 2028 to meet the NC Department of
Natural and Cultural Resources Great Trails State Program grant deadlines.
All proposers should be familiar with the Forest Ridge Bike Trails Extension Design
Report (2023) found in Appendix V.
The Design-Builder's services for the Project will be engaged in a two-phase process,
one phase being pre-construction and the other being construction. The Design-Builder
