The floating dock may or may not be accessed from the boardwalk, depending on grades
and available open water of sufficient depth to make it practical. An alternative to the dock
may be found in the terraced water's edge that is proposed under 2.12.10 below.

2.12.16 - Existing Trail Improvements
It is assumed that the existing paved path will suffice for the riverside path. This sub area
may include updates to the existing trail that would include trail furnishings, small plazas
for overlooks or pause places, and selected locations for public art. Based on recent
discussions with the city this will be a minimal effort.
This task also includes preliminary design of additional flood storage as mitigation for
proposed filling elsewhere. That would likely require shifting a portion of the path
alignment and possibly altering some parking. HL Turner will provide VHB with guidance
on flood storage needs.

2.12.11 - Riverbank Restoration
The space between the river and the existing path along the north side of the river was
cleared by the City in 2020 and the City is conducting annual invasives and vegetation
control. At this stage we have assumed there is not a need for additional design work
along that rivet’s edge other than that discussed in 2.12.10 above, and no scope is
included in preliminary design.
2.12.12- ADA Accessible Ramp to Cotton Transfer Bridge
VHB structural engineers will complete the preliminary design for the ADA ramp. This will
include managing a boring and geotechnical subcontract to obtain the information
required to design the ramp supports. A detailed structural design scope is attached as an
exhibit.
Lead Consultant: VHB
2.12.13 - BAE Trail and Parking Modifications
VHB will develop the 3D design of the trail along the top of the riverbank and adjacent to
the BAE parking lot. VHB will coordinate with BAE since the design will likely have impacts
