A summary of improvements includes: 30+ parking spaces north of the existing Tahoe East Shore Trailhead parking along Sweetwater Road, a pedestrian path from the new parking area to the existing parking lots and Tahoe East Shore Trailhead, four to six (4-6) parking spaces at Rocky Point, address erosion and signage at Sunset Vista pullout, two to three (2-3) parking spaces for operational employee parking at the Tahoe East Shore Trailhead, and water quality improvements within the existing NDOT Right of Way as part of the parking improvements. The required project scope shall include both environmental analysis and engineering services. Environmental analysis services shall include review of existing environmental documentation for the Project and to determine what additional analysis and documentation are needed to obtain NEPA and TRPA environmental approvals. Engineering services shall include, but may not be necessarily limited to: recommendations for project delivery, utility relocation analysis, tracking budgets, preparing cost estimates and risk management. Services shall also include providing construction costs/cost of work, monitoring schedules, Right of Way (ROW) determination, overseeing quality of all aspects of the project; communication with the project team; coordinating with all other applicable consultants.

The project engineering will be completed in three phases. Phase 1 will include the preliminary engineering up to 30 percent design completion, along with environmental analysis and documentation to obtain applicable project level NEPA and TRPA approvals.

Phase 2 will include the preliminary engineering up to 60 percent design completion, including but not limited to:

Plan view of proposed site grading and drainage improvements and identification of all major road components, including curb, gutter, sidewalks, parking areas, buildings and structures.

• Utility plan sheets identifying proposed improvements, with existing utilities clearly identified in locations where conflicts could exist.
• Roadway and drainage structure plan and profile sheets with appropriate horizontal and vertical design information.
• Necessary hydrogeology, geotechnical and land surveys for supporting design.
• ROW boundaries and property owner identification in and around project site.
• Identification of any project improvements located on private property. The project assumes all improvements will be located on local (Washoe County) or state lands (NDOT or Nevada State Parks).
• Determination of all necessary ROW acquisition based on preliminary project design.
• Securing all necessary rights-of-entry for private property.
• Ensure all designs meet NDOT requirements, expectations, and standards.

• Participate in the partnering process with project stakeholders.
• Development of construction sequence plan.
• Preparation of signage and wayfinding plan.
• Parking management design, including infrastructure to emulate and connect to the existing parking system at the trailhead.

Phase 3 will encompass all final project design and construction drawings, project quantities, project specifications, and detailed construction cost estimate. The selected firm will work alongside TTD to deliver the necessary project engineering products, along with determination of ROW survey and easement products required by local and state agencies where the project improvements will be built.
