Santa Ana River Trail Project, Segments 2, 2A, and 3A

The Santa Ana River Trail Project, Segments 2, 2A, and 3A, involves the construction of a 2.78-mile multi-use trail within the Prado Dam Flood Control Basin in unincorporated Riverside County, California. The trail will feature an 8- to 10-foot-wide Class I asphalt or concrete bicycle path with two-foot shoulders, complemented by decomposed granite surfaces for pedestrian and equestrian use. Design parameters include a maximum longitudinal slope of five percent, a two percent cross fall on both the path and shoulders, and cut and fill slopes with a minimum 2-to-1 ratio. The project will integrate signage and striping for safety and navigation, implement comprehensive drainage improvements, and apply a native hydro-seed mix to all graded slope areas to promote stabilization and ecological recovery. Construction is planned in phases, each expected to require approximately 12 months to complete, with the overall timeline contingent on the availability of funding. The project is governed by local county procedures and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act, having been supported by a Negative Declaration as part of its environmental review. The contracting authority is the Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District, headquartered at 4600 Crestmore Road, Jurupa Valley, California, with Gaby Adame-Algrim serving as the primary point of contact for planning and development matters. While the project is classified as a forecast and lacks a formal solicitation number, contract value, or detailed financial accountability identifiers such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN, it falls under the NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are applicable, as the project is not governed by federal procurement standards but rather by state and local requirements. There are no specified payment offices, invoicing systems, contracting officer representatives, or formal evaluation factors for award. Packaging, marking, inspection, acceptance, and delivery terms are not defined in the documentation, and no contract type has been formally stated. All work must adhere to engineering conventions consistent with ADA and Caltrans guidance, but specific technical standards like AASHTO or MUTCD are not explicitly referenced. The project is currently in a planning-stage forecast with no formal bids solicited, and no socioeconomic, size, or representational requirements for potential contractors have been outlined.
