The Town of Brunswick seeks qualified trail designers and environmental engineering firms.
The Town of Brunswick, Maine is accepting consulting assistance from qualified trail designers and environmental engineering firms to conduct field reconnaissance, prepare subsequent trail corridor designs with corresponding specifications and cost estimates that will be used to solicit bids from qualified trail construction contractors to build a ten-foot-wide trail that is as accessible as possible with two foot shoulders on either side through a variety of general landscape features including forest, wetlands, hills and riparian areas.
The construction phase of the project is not part of this RFP. However, the consultant is also being asked to identify where the trail passes within and adjacent to wetlands, requiring specific expertise in wetland impact assessment and regulatory compliance with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), jurisdictional streams, vernal pools, rare natural communities (specifically Sandplain Grassland), rare plant locations (including but not limited to Carex siccata and Carex vestita) and other protected natural resources that may trigger DEP and Town of Brunswick review.
The project encompasses a portion of the Perimeter Trail located at Brunswick Landing on the the west side of the property between the airport runways and U.S. Route 123.
