location of any bore holes drilled by geotechnical and geological consultants, if needed
2. Meet with ditch water rights owners (O'Neill and Holland Ditch) and ECO Trails to review ditch
design and 30% plans. Two meetings anticipated, including one field meeting, total approximately
five hours.
3. Complete Plan Sets for bidding by February 5, 2009. The intent is to construct the ditch section
as first project item in March, 2009, prior to all other construction due to the very limited
construction period available for the ditch (November through March). The ditch piping and backfill
plan sheets will also be included in the final plan set described below, for illustrative purposes to
show trail connectivity and paving details, as paving of the trail may be delayed until the final, full-
trail construction hase detailed below in Task 7.

described:
Topography at 2 foot contour intervals for planned trail corridor (50 foot wide area of
influence, but disturbance will or should generally be limited to 20 feet). This task includes
any additional surveying necessary to create suitable topography, with provided
topographical information (e.g. floodplain contour mapping or GIS) used when possible
(e.g. shared roads that will not be topographically altered by project)
• Drainage culverts and features
• Utility facilities underground and above ground
• River, stream and ditch channels that as applicable
• Floodplain
• Stream setbacks
• Accurate property boundaries including private ownership, easements and rights of ways.

approx 500 feet west of east side I-70 overpass including right of way boundary, edge of
asphalt, shoulder "white line", existing barriers or guardrails

Task 7 and previous tasks. Survey of delineated wetlands will include 3500 lineal feet
representing approximately 200 flags, from the I-70 bridge overpass east to the Red
Canyon Road at the railroad crossing site.
Prepare a 30% plan set for review by ECO Trails at 1:50 scale for project including the designed
structures described above, and based on the trail alignment identified by ECO trails, subject to
review and realignment based on field reviews and plan development with engineer and property
owners.
The design process shall include:
• Coordinating with utility companies to obtain their review and facility information
• A drainage study of the trail project area and design of trail drainage facilities. There are
culverts under Highway 6 that may affect trail design from the south river side bridge site
landing BLM fishing access pull-out, approx 500 feet west of east side I-70 overpass.
Design should reflect locations of culverts, and associated drainage improvements on the
trail.
• Field staking of centerline for final alignment review by ECO Trails team.
• Identification of limits of disturbance.
• Identification of two points of access across the trail through Cordillera meadow, west of
bridge site for heavy equipment access to open irrigation ditch for maintenance, and
evaluation of maintenance route alongside trail.
• Evaluation of the shared use roads of Hillcrest and Red Canyon Road to accommodate
increased use for bicycles and pedestrians e.g. improved site distance and crossing
improvements, signs, pavement markings, etc. Neither right of way will be pavement
widened, due to budget constraints.
• Suggested improvements to the interface of the trail with the BLM fishing access point
along west section immediately past I-70 bridge, including routing of the trail through the
pullout area, additional approach signage on Highway 6 and potential construction of a
rock wall and steps to allow for gravel parking spaces.
