Operations Manager Knutelsky reported that Cumberland Valley Rails to Trails requested permission to construct the Middle Spring Walkway on Borough property, with the Borough agreeing to assume responsibility for ongoing maintenance. The Borough Solicitor will work with Cumberland Valley Rails to Trails to determine what agreements or documents are needed to finalize the arrangement. This points to a new trail or walkway facility being built on municipal land by an external group, while the Borough prepares to maintain it long term. Vendors in trail construction, surface maintenance, lighting, signage, and parks operations could engage the Borough regarding maintenance standards, future enhancements, or related amenities (benches, trash receptacles, wayfinding) that might be procured once the walkway is in place.

The Borough will own the maintenance responsibility despite construction occurring under the Rails-t...

Pre-RFP

The FY 2027 PEDC CIP proposes multiple active greenway trail projects, notably Vince Bayou Greenway Trail (EDCR066) with a total budget of 7361491.18 and 4253602.70 available, and Little Vince Bayou Greenway Trail (EDCR086) with a budget of 1567770.82 fully committed. Vince Bayou Trail Phase I (EDCR075) and Pasadena Plaza (EDCR094) are shown as fully committed, while "Quality of Life Projects" (EDCR051) adds 203698.98 in new funds, potentially related to amenities or trail-adjacent improvements. The substantial uncommitted balance for EDCR066 signals future design, construction, landscaping, and amenity work for the greenway system, even as earlier phases are under contract. This creates opportunities for trail and park designers, civil engineers, landscape architects, lighting and security vendors, and construction firms to support the remaining phases. Sellers should emphasize experience delivering multi-phase trail systems and coordinating with existing committed segments to ensure continuity and usability.

Several related CIP lines indicate a coordinated greenway/trail initiative, with some phases fully c...

Grant Funding

The Blackie’s Pasture Beach Restoration project will restore the shoreline at Greenwood/Blackie’s Pasture Beach to reduce erosion. According to the CIP, County of Marin staff have fully designed the project, construction is fully grant funded through a 1.5 million State Coastal Conservancy grant, and permitting is underway with construction anticipated to start in summer 2026. Because design is complete and funding is secured, this is moving toward construction procurement. Marine and shoreline contractors, environmental construction managers, and monitoring firms can track this project for a near‑term bid opportunity and related services such as construction oversight, environmental compliance, and periodic beach renourishment support estimated at up to 10,000 per year.

Design was performed by County of Marin staff; Town anticipates periodic renourishment costs after c...

Grant Funding

Under Capital Improvement Projects, Tiburon budgets $1,500,000 in FY 2026-27 for the Blackie’s Pasture / Greenwood Beach Restoration project (25-PK-01-810), fully funded by a State Coastal Conservancy grant. The project scope is summarized as "Restoration," indicating shoreline, habitat, parkland, or erosion control improvements along this waterfront area. No design or construction firm is mentioned; the budget only shows that grant funds are secured and programmed. This creates a high‑value pre‑RFP opportunity for coastal engineers, landscape architects, environmental consultants, and construction contractors experienced in shoreline restoration and public access facilities. Vendors should aim to speak with Public Works and Parks staff about anticipated permitting, community engagement, and phasing needs and position for design, CEQA/environmental, and construction support as the project moves from funding to implementation.

Fully grant-funded from State Coastal Conservancy (Fund 285); will likely require significant enviro...
