The trail alignment includes significant Kiowa Creek floodplain lengths and areas, requiring permitting, design/improvement and impact mitigation considerations and requirements. The trail utilizes the existing I-70 Kiowa Creek bridge as a trail underpass under I-70, requiring further floodplain and bridge hydraulics impacts and mitigations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Kiowa Bennett TIP Trail consists of 3 segments. Segment 1 is the North Segment which runs North & South along the east side of State Highway 79, terminating near the existing QuikTrip. Segment 2 is the middle or Central Segment, which runs from the Southernmost point of Segment 1, heads East and proceeds to the I-70 Corridor underpass in alignment with Kiowa Creek. Segment 3 of this trail is the South segment, which takes the trail from Kiowa-Bennett Road, through the Kiowa Creek North Open Space, connecting to the Southernmost point of Segment 2 The Town reserves the right to reject all Proposals and re-solicit if deemed by the Town to be in its best interests, and to abandon the Project and this RFP at any time for any or no reason.
