Dillon Dam Recpath Condition Assessment and Improvement Recommendations

Summit County Government (“County”) is soliciting bids from qualified contractors for conditions assessment and

engineering evaluation services to provide improvement recommendations for an existing approximately 4,800-linear

foot section of the Dillon Dam Recreational Pathway (Recpath segment) between the Dillon Dam glory hole and Town

of Dillon boundary (Attachment 1). Summit County operates this Recpath segment under an intergovernmental

agreement with the Denver Water Board.

The condition of the existing Recpath segment does not meet current Summit County Road and Bridge standards due

to a lack of recovery zones and eroding slopes above the Recpath and below the Dillon Dam Road. Additionally, poor

drainage conditions exacerbate erosion and sedimentation across the Recpath segment surface. Given the Recpath’s

existing condition and high volume of use through much of the snow-free year, there is a need to improve the condition

of the segment and ensure its longevity to safely serve public users.
