Swamp Rabbit Trail Orange Line Connection Feasibility Study

Upstate Greenways and Trails Alliance (UGATA) seeks a qualified firm to conduct a feasibility study for a Shared Use Path that would connect the Green Line and Orange Line segments of the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The selected contractor will evaluate two potential route alternatives, assess engineering and environmental constraints, develop cost estimates, outline permitting requirements, and propose an implementation timeline. This study will guide UGATA’s decision‑making on whether and how to proceed with the trail connection. • Scope includes route alignment analysis, cost‑benefit evaluation, permitting strategy, and schedule development. • Deliverables: feasibility report, preliminary cost estimates, recommended alignment, and a phased implementation plan. • Project follows a Design‑Bid‑Build delivery method, with the feasibility study serving as the preliminary planning phase.
