RE:Open Space Trail Project –Adam’s Way Connector –Civil Engineering Proposal
Dear Phil:
Thank you for contacting SGM and your time so that we were better able to understand your project
needs.As requested,we are providing this proposal for Civil Engineering services for the Eagle County
Open Space Trail Project –Adam’s Way Connector in Eagle County,Colorado.This project is located
on Eagle County Open Space at 4381 Brush Creek Road.The project will connect Adam’s Way single
track trail to your main parking lot on Brush Creek Road.
SGM would like to complete a portion of this Adam’s Way Connector Design and Engineering on our
time due to it being associated with Adam Palmer.SGM understands the importance of Adam in our
community and the impact he made.SGM will discount $1,000 from the Design and Engineering portion
of this project.
The purpose of this letter is to address the scope of work and estimated fees to provide Civil
Engineering support for the Eagle County review and approval.SGM will meet all Eagle County Code
requirements for trail design.This proposal is based on our conversations,site visit,and provided
exhibits with trail alignments.Per the provided information,the trail will be approximately 2,500 linear
feet starting from the Brush Creek Trailhead parking lot,cross Brush Creek Road,up the driveway,all
the way until it hits the light blue line,and then to the red line.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 58E370B1-F901-4883-AAA7-649BC23B8736
Our estimate is based upon a single iteration of the design development for your provided site plan.
SGM proposes to work on a time and materials basis and bill only the actual hours necessary to
complete the application (rather than lump sum).Our invoices include phase and tasks codes with
notes that will allow you to understand what aspects we have spent time on.Below are specific
categories and tasks to help break down the estimated fees we envision.This is a budgetary estimate.
Our goal is to perform well in a reasonable submission timeframe and be considered as the engineer of
choice on future projects that you may have in the area.Totals listed below include SGM QA/QC for all
deliverables.
It is anticipated SGM can begin work in March and design through the Spring to meet your 2023
construction schedule.SGM anticipates design can proceed with Eagle County 2-foot contours,then
survey can be completed once snow melts.
Project Management &Meetings
SGM’s Project Management will consist of meetings,site visit,internal coordination,county
coordination,and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC).Meetings with owner will be at a
minimum at kick-off,preliminary design (30%),and final design,but with the tight schedule,bi-weekly
meetings may be preferable.SGM will also have internal coordination with surveyors,environmental,
engineering,etc.with milestones at 30%,90%,and final Design.These milestones will submit
engineering plans to you for use for county approval.
Bid specifications and most construction administration have not been included in this proposal.
Project Management T&M Estimated Cost:$3,352
Survey
SGM will set up LiDAR basemap and review with engineer,2-man crew is expected to be one long 12-
hour day,one day of office drafting of topography and drafting basemap,and license surveyor review
and project management.SGM will provide existing conditions survey which will include information
such as topography,planimetric,visible utilities,property lines and easements per information provided
by the client.This information will be used for the proposed site design.
For efficiency,this survey estimate considers:
1.Owner call 811 for utility locates and that all existing utilities get located.
Survey T&M Estimated Cost:$4,580
Design and Engineering
SGM will provide the following CAD design engineering services in support of the Application.The
Construction Drawings will be signed and stamped by a Professional Engineer to be submitted to you
for your use for Eagle County’s review and approval.The set will probably include the following sheets:
•Cover
•General Notes and Project Specifications
•Legend and Abbreviations
•Existing Conditions (provided by SGM surveyors)
•Site Plan
•Grading and Drainage Plan
•Plan and Profile (2-4 sheets)
•Erosion Control Plan –(SWMP needed for over 1 acre disturbance)
•Erosion Control Details
•Site Details (Trail sections x2,culvert,signs,etc.)
It is currently assumed the site will be a straightforward design and sheets such as Geometry Plan,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 58E370B1-F901-4883-AAA7-649BC23B8736
Storm Drain Profiles,etc.will not been needed.
Design and Engineering T&M Estimated Cost:$19,988 -$1,000 =$18,988
Site Distance Evaluation
SGM will evaluate Brush Creek Road site distance for pedestrian safety.Due to the existing parking lot
on the eastern side of Brush Creek Road and the proposed trail starting on the west side of Brush
Creek Road,pedestrians will need to cross in a safe manner.This will include a few hours of CAD work
and a couple hours of transportation engineering.SGM will look at the site distance during the site visit
to help save time and money.
Site Distance Evaluation T&M Estimated Cost:$904
Environmental
SGM will provide wetland delineation services and Clean Water Act (CWA)Section 404 permitting for
the project,as well as associated federal regulatory compliance needs including Endangered Species
Act and National Historic Preservation Act.SGM provided similar services for the Brush Creek
Trailhead project in 2019,and our staff is very familiar with conditions at the site.Our expectation is
that construction of the trail will involve minor amounts of fill in wetlands and Waters of the U.S.as the
alignment crosses the Brush Creek floodplain and/or the McKenzie Ditch.Impacts of this nature are
readily authorized under Nationwide Permit 42 for Recreational Facilities.We propose to include the
entire area of Options A,B,and C in our wetland delineation to provide maximum flexibility in selecting
the best alignment from a design perspective.Adding the additional acreage does not significantly
change our costs.Note that if our wetland delineation determines that no wetland impacts would occur,
no application to the Army Corps or further coordination would be necessary,and our T&M billings
would reflect that reduced scope.
As a federal action,the issuance of a Nationwide Permit requires a review for compliance with other
applicable federal laws,specifically including:
•Endangered Species Act:Our review of the project area does not indicate a significant potential
for impacts to endangered species.Our permit application will include a write-up addressing
ESA compliance.Please note,it is unlikely but possible that US Fish and Wildlife would request
surveys for the Threatened Ute ladies’-tresses orchid,depending on the habitat conditions found
during our wetland investigation.Our scope and estimate does not include high-intensity
surveys for this species,but we can provide this service if required under a change order.
Surveys would be conducted in July of 2023,during the blooming season for the orchid.
•National Historic Preservation Act:A Class III pedestrian survey for cultural resources will be
required as a component of this project,given the presence of potentially-historic features within
the proposed alignment (old irrigation infrastructure incl.the McKenzie Ditch).The survey and
reporting would be completed by our licensed subcontractor,Alpine Archaeological Consultants.
The Army Corps would conduct consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
if necessary.
The proposed schedule for environmental work would be to complete the wetland delineation and
cultural resource survey as soon as weather conditions allow in spring 2023 (estimated in April).Our
delineation findings and mapping would be provided to the design team to inform design parameters,
as necessary.As soon as a final alignment is chosen and ~60%plans are available,we will prepare
and submit a Nationwide Permit application and preconstruction notification to the Army Corps,on
behalf of the County.Typical review time for applications of this nature is 45-60 days,therefore we
expect to be able to provide authorization for construction by fall of 2023.In the unlikely event that
surveys for Ute ladies’-tresses orchid are required,we still expect to be able to meet this deadline by
completing that task during summer 2023.

Our design team will include Tyson Sillery in design,myself as project manager and engineer,and
Principal Dan Cokley providing quality control and Transportation Engineering.
Additionally,SGM will work with Eagle County to address the following questions:
1.We have two primary trail options,which one should we pursue?How do we figure that out?
2.We need to design for hayfield operations and trails to exist together.Must consider flood irrigation,
(design ditches),and equipment must be able to cross the trail.
3.Hay Fields are wet,the trail probably needs to be elevated.Consider the cost for both options,and
the associated costs with fencing (cattle out,gates,etc.),ditches to decide which option is best.
All work and other direct costs will be billed monthly according to the attached 2023 Fee Schedule.I
have attached our standard Letter Agreement for Professional Services.If you find these terms
acceptable,please fill in appropriate billing/contact information (name,billing address,phone number
and email address),sign a copy and return it to me (retaining a copy for their files).
