RESOLUTION NO. 2023-5 8
GRANT SCOPE OF WORK
The Shipley Trail Project involves the realignment of portions of the existing Shipley
Trail that are currently flooded because of the water level at the Blackbird pond raising
approximately 2 ft. in the last few years.
The Project involves realignment of approximately 850 ft. of trail from Trail Marker 7 to
west of Trail Marker 9.
The project will consist of the following:
1. Removal of several willow trees, with large branches and trunks that extend
several feet from their trunks. The willow trees would have to be removed completely or cut so
the branches no longer infringe upon the proposed trail.
2. The work would also involve the removal of native and non-native vines such as
Reed, Brazilian pepper trees and others. Please note that eradication of the plant material
outside the trail path has not been added in order to keep the cost reasonable.
3. The work would include the clearing and grubbing of approximately 0.7 acre of
terrain along the new proposed trail alignment.
4. Compaction of base material, and import of approximately 1800 cubic yards of
fill material to elevate the trail above possible flooding stage.
5. Addition of a trail surface to match existing trail (i.e.: wood chips or decomposed
granite).
6. Installation of trail edge headers, installation of trail markers and other required
sign age.
7. The exact length of trail to be restored must be verified by field measurements.
Surveying will be necessary to determine the elevation of the trail relative to the bottom of the
pond drain.
