Project Description: Sinton Trail provides an important trail connection between Garden of the Gods Road and the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail along Monument Creek. This project will convert the existing asphalt trail to the current City of Colorado Springs standard for concrete multi-use trail. The project will also make minor alignment and elevation corrections to avoid certain utilities and better connect to existing trail entrances. This section of trail improvement was previously progressed to an advanced design through the existing contract with Basis Partners.
The scope of work and fee to progress the project to construction-ready plans has been agreed to with the consultant. This work includes revisions to the plans and estimate, develop project specifications, coordinate with and complete City Stormwater documentation and design, and compile construction ready bid package.
The City requests the PPRTA Board approve the change order with Basis Partners for $68,905.00. This brings the total contract amount from $142,100.00 to $211,005.00.
