The Shady Brook Trail at Riverside Drive Erosion Control project will provide design documents for permanent creekbank stabilization to protect Shady Brook Trail between Riverside Drive and Woodland Creek Drive from the erosive forces of Tributary 13 of Indian Creek. Shady Brook Trail was constructed in two phases, in 1994 and 2006, and is 2.3 miles long.
The Parks and Recreation Department recommends approval of the expenditure in the amount of $307,000 for engineering professional services from Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc. for the Shady Brook Trail at Riverside Drive Erosion Control project. The project includes hydraulic analysis, environmental and archaeological study, and geotechnical investigation resulting in preliminary and final design submittals, and construction-related engineering services to address streambank stabilization improvements in three locations between Riverside Drive and Woodland Creek Drive.
Teague Nall & Perkins, Inc. was deemed most qualified based on their Statement of Qualifications Submission for RFQ No. 2021-0377-XR.
The benefit of this project is replacing temporary erosion control with permanent creekbank stabilization to protect Shady Brook Trail. Not approving the expenditure will result in the eventual failure of the temporary repair, unchecked streambank erosion and potential failure and loss of the trail as well as potential risk to the safety of trail users.
The design process is estimated to be completed in late summer 2025. The project will then be released for bidding. Bids will be reviewed, an offeror will be selected, and a bid award will need Council action in fall of 2025.
