FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT TO INCLUDE:
1. The work consists of building a concrete trail along Sims Bayou, with an option to build a parking lot. The work consists of building a reinforced concrete paved hike and bike trail about a mile long and 10 feet wide along Sims Bayou. The pavement is 6 inches thick with 6-inches of lime stabilized subgrade. Excavation of channel upper side slopes will be required to create ramps along the trail between the top of bank, flood benches and maintenance berm. A compacted gravel parking lot with concrete edge, concrete paved handicap parking, and concrete apron, concrete wheel stops, and concrete trail will require installation of geotextile fabric.
Sections of the trail will require removal and reinstallation of existing articulating concrete block and its geotextile along the channel maintenance berm. The handicap parking spaces and concrete trail will require pavement marking. Most of the trail will be built on clay material and all of the construction will occur above the channel normal water flow. In case of large rain events in the channel watershed the construction site could experience water.
