More specifically, the grant proposal is for ADA improvements to a short "hammock loop' portion <br />of the overall trail system at ORCA. The improvements entail a ground -level boardwalk (over a trail section <br />known to flood) and ditch crossing as well as eventual marl surface treatment to the loop trail. These <br />improvements have been reviewed and endorsed by an ORCA working group, consisting of county staff, <br />volunteers, and staff of other agencies involved in management of the property. <br />Summerlin's Seven Seas, Inc. is the marine construction company with which the County contracted for <br />construction of boardwalks a viewing pier, and canoe landing that were built on the Oslo Riverfront property <br />in November, 1997. Subsequently, in September, 1998, the Board approved an amendment to the contract <br />with Summerlin's Seven Seas for the company to construct an observation platform on the property. <br />Staff is now requesting that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to proceed with a second <br />amendment to the original contract with Summerlin's Seven Seas, Inc., for the company to construct the <br />proposed ground -level boardwalk and ditch crossing at a cost of $5,000. <br />NOVEMBER 14, 2000 <br />-108- <br />BK 116 PG 120 <br />
