Trail Segment 5b Design & Consulting Services

The Port of Vancouver is seeking design and consulting services for the development of Trail Segment 5b, which aims to extend the existing Renaissance Trail system along Lower River Road (SR 501) within Parcel 3. The project involves advancing the trail's design to a 30% completion level and preparing a partial construction package focused on grading. The approximately 1.1-mile paved multi-modal recreational trail will run along the south side of Lower River Road, starting at NW Old Lower River Road near the Flushing Channel, and will be constructed outside the wetlands to minimize environmental impact. The design will include the installation of retaining walls around the Old Lower River Road crossing and will require careful coordination due to crossing several utilities, which adds complexity to the project. The solicitation, titled "Trail Segment 5b Design & Consulting Services," was posted on October 18, 2025, with a response deadline of November 13, 2025. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000 and is managed by the Washington-based Port of Vancouver under NAICS code 238110. The contract aims to support the Port’s efforts to enhance recreational infrastructure while addressing technical challenges related to utility crossings and environmental considerations.
