CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

Terry Gulley, Transportation Services Director
Chris Brown, City Engineer
FROM: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator
DATE: April 281h, 2016
SUBJECT: 2016-0227 Recreational Trails Grant Application — Trail Replacement
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a resolution expressing the willingness to apply for federal -aid
funds and allow staff to submit an application of an 80% federal 20% local matching grant
through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program for and award of up to $56,000 to be used for
the replacement of a section of the Razorback Regional Greenway from Maple Street to Frisco
Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
A 670 foot long section of the Frisco Trail, now part of the Razorback Regional Greenway from
Maple Street to Frisco Avenue has degraded due to subgrade issues associated with the steep
cut along the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad. A geotechnical analysis was performed and
determined that the subgrade below the trail has shifted resulting in the large cracks on the trail
surface. Fortunately, the report indicates solid shale approximately 3 feet below the trail
surface. The recommendation of the geotechnical analysis is to excavate the existing trail down
to the solid shale, then build back with select fill, base and a new 12 foot wide concrete surface.
The cost of this trail replacement is estimated at $70,000. The trail replacement is eligible for
federal funding through the 2016 Recreational Trail Program.
DISCUSSION:
The Recreational Trails Program is administered through the Arkansas State Highway and
Transportation Department and has been a substantial program for trail funding over the years
(see funding history below). For the 2016 funding cycle, staff would like to submit an application
for funding 80% of the cost of the replacement of the degraded section of the Razorback
Regional Greenway.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
If the Recreational Trails Program grant is approved, the City will be responsible for 20% of the
total project cost, or $14,000. The labor costs for the city in-house trail construction crew is
eligible to count toward the 20% city match. Funding for the match has been budgeted through
the Trail Development Capital Improvement Program.
