HAMMITT Bob <br /> From: ETTER John F <br /> To: HAMMITT Bob <br /> Subject: FW: Trail cost estimate, Amazon headwaters <br /> Date: Tuesday, January 24, 1995 4:02PM <br /> From: ETTER John F <br /> To: HAMMITT Bob <br /> Subject: Trail cost estimate, Amazon headwaters <br /> Date: Tuesday, January 24, 1995 2:41 PM <br /> The trail distance from Martin Street to a likely tie in to the Ridgeline Trail near Fox Hollow appears to be about <br /> 3400 feet, plus or minus 400 feet depending on need for <br /> switchbacks and the need to go around areas that need to be avoided for one reason or another. <br /> I'm estimating an average .4' deep x 4.0' crushed rock section, which is 16 L.F. per C.Y., or 213 C.Y., which is <br /> about 20 loads of rock at about $100.00 per load dumped at trailheads by the gravel vendor. For estimating <br /> purposes: $2,000.00 for gravel. <br /> We should budget at least one creek crossing, and possibly some deckwork in wet areas. Materials could go <br /> from a low of$500.00 if we can find a way to avoid wet areas to to over$2,000.00. For estimating purposes at <br /> this time I would recommend <br /> the $2,000.00 figure. <br /> We've talked of a second trail so that there can be separation between hikers and mountain bikers. A doubling <br /> of the first trail material cost should cover the second trail. A slightly wider bridge or deck treatment might add <br /> 50% to that cost. I would recommend a combined crossing to minimize wetland impact. <br /> To all of the above I would add a $2,500.00 contingency for signs, bank retaining materials and small culverts or <br /> perf pipe. The totals for the above items--the dual trail package--come to $9,500.00. Let's round up to <br /> $10,000.00. <br /> I believe that several sources of voluteer labor could be coordinated to construct the trail within one construction <br /> season. <br /> --John. <br /> F <br /> Page 1 <br />
