1 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL DESIGN-BUILD Request fr Prpsal N Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area: Wildlife Overlks and Rustic Fence Prpsal Deadline Due by: Mnday, July 8 at 4:00 PM Alaska Standard Time Deliver t: Anchrage Park Fundatin 3201 C Street, Suite 110 Anchrage, AK Site Visit: Thursday, June 27 at 10:00 AM Alaska Standard Time Subject: Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area: Wildlife Overlks and Rustic Fence Design-Build INTRODUCTION Purpse The Anchrage Park Fundatin (APF) receives funding frm a variety f public and private surces, and partners with the Municipality f Anchrage Department f Parks & Recreatin (APRD) t use that funding t invest in municipal park land and prgrams. APF is sliciting prpsals t design and build 3 verlks and apprximately 1,600 lineal feet f wden perimeter fencing at the Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area (CCENA). The prject design is predicated n the recently develped master plan, which guides the develpment f this natural area in a manner sensitive t its valuable natural resurces and wildlife habitat. The intent f the verlks will be t prvide scenic views, pprtunities t bserve wildlife frm a safe distance, and ptential educatinal prgramming t the public. The verlks will als serve as the terminus f the trails. The purpse f the perimeter fencing is t prtect the bluff slpe and cntrl visitr circulatin thrughut the natural area. The fence will retain an aesthetic quality akin t its surrundings. The successful cntractr will prvide technical and structural designs and a finished built prduct cnsistent with the CCENA master plan and respnsive t the infrmatinal materials herein. Backgrund The 60 acre Campbell Creek Estuary Natural Area prperty was acquired in Nvember 2010 thrugh a partnership between Great Land Trust (GLT) and the Municipality f Anchrage (MOA). The prperty was acquired t cnserve valuable wildlife habitat and wetland and frest resurces and t prvide public access t scenic views f and recreatinal pprtunities within the adjacent Anchrage Castal Wildlife Refuge. The Municipality hlds title t the prperty and has assigned management respnsibilities t the Parks and Recreatin Department.

GLT hlds a cnservatin

2 easement n the prperty that places permanent restrictins n the imprvements and activities that can ccur there. The Cnservatin Easement splits the prperty int three use areas: 1) Resurce Prtectin Area, 2) the Restricted Use Area, and 3) the Limited Develpment Area (see map belw). The use areas each have separate restrictins n the imprvements and activities that can ccur within them. The cnservatin easement allws the cnstructin f a small parking area, a trailhead, and natural trails n the prperty, GLT/Parks & Recreatin sught public input n the nature and lcatin f these imprvements in Cnstructin f the parking lt, assciated amenities, and trails will take place in the summer f Prject Area
