Background: The Gore Valley Trail is the primary recreation path through Vail and is managed

uses in the area and creates safety concerns. Please see attached aerial image. The purpose of
the feasibility analysis is to identify possible opportunities and costs for the realignment of
recreation path to reduce conflicts and improve user safety. Staff released a Request for
Proposal for professional services with 3 firms responding. The range of fees in the 3 proposals
is $79,900 to $103,600. The firm Otak presented considerable experience on recreation path
projects with similar challenges for a proposed fee of $86,641. The Town and Vail Corporation
