The City of Lebanon has awarded a contract to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. for the WaHG Trail Planning Study. The study aims to identify alternatives, issues, and costs, and provide recommendations for the construction of an off-road/on-road multi-use trail between West Lebanon and Hanover. The contract includes tasks such as compiling a base map, identifying utility conflicts, and developing conceptual alternatives. The project is scheduled for completion by April 15, 2025, and has a total budget of $62,240. Key points to consider:
• The study will examine potential primary path routes, spur routes, and best practices for path management.
• The contract includes a cost-plus fixed fee basis, with Stantec's audited overhead rate and a fixed fee of 10% not to exceed the project total budget.
• The City of Lebanon will be billed on a cost-plus fixed fee basis using actual employee direct labor rates.
• The project team includes Gerard Fortin, Principal-In-Charge, David McNamara, Project Manager, Jessa Berna, lead transportation planner, and Tyler Gagnon, civil engineer.
