EXHIBIT A – SCOPE OF WORK

City of Tucker Request for Proposal

RFP 2026-004 Hugh Howell Trail Phase III Design

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of Procurement

The City of Tucker is requesting proposals for the design of the Hugh Howell Trail Phase

III. This project is a continuation of the previously constructed Hugh Howell Trail Phase I

and Phase II.

1.2 Background

In 2019, the City partnered with the PATH foundation to create a city-wide Trail Master

Plan. The study resulted in a comprehensive list of recommended trail projects throughout

the City. This RFP is focused on the continued design of trail segment 4C from the Master

Plan.

1.3 Project Objectives (include but are not limited to)

The following Scope shall be developed in accordance with the City of Tucker’s Trail

Master Plan, and the City Standards Guidebook, both of which will be provided to the

awarded proposer. The trail shall be a continuation of the design and aesthetic of both the

existing Hugh Howell Trail, as well as all existing and upcoming trail segments.

1.4 Technical Project Overview

The Hugh Howell Trail Phase III Project is to be an extension of the existing trail,

beginning at the intersection of Hugh Howell Road and Stratmor Drive, and will continue

to the northeast corner of Hugh Howell Road and Silver Hill Road east (approx. 1.3 miles).

The project includes the design of a new 10-foot-wide trail segment, 5-foot-wide landscape

buffer, curb and gutter, stormwater drainage, signage, and other landscaping

improvements.

1.5 Description of Tasks

Task 1: Data Collection and Survey Services

Prepare topographic and property surveys where necessary. The City will provide the

selected vendor existing SUE data from a Dekalb County Watershed waterline relocation

project. For locations where the Dekalb data is inadequate for full design, the selected

consultant would be responsible for producing SUE Level A (potholing) at crucial points

to determine potential utility impacts. Additional survey is required in order to provide

appropriate field information to produce easement, right-of-way and construction

drawings. The survey information should extend 20 feet beyond the public right-of-way,

should easements or property acquisition be required to implement the project. The

necessary:

• Provide spot elevations at centerline of road, top and bottom of curb, face of building

(where applicable) every 50 feet along the length of each street.
