Nature Trail Phase II: Trail Construction Services

Boardwalk

Date Advertised - March 28, 2024

Project Summary:

The Town of Sullivan’s Island seeks a qualified site work contractor to perform minor trail construction, path clearing and minor grading of sand for a second phase of the Sullivan’s Island Nature Trail planned between the Station 16 Street and Station 18.5 Street beach paths.

Background:

Phase II of the nature trail is partially funded through a 2023 South Carolina Parks, Recreation, Tourism (SCPRT) Grant, administered by way of their 2023 Recreational Trails Program. This section of the trail is intended to provide the public with a non-motorized pedestrian access between the National Park Service’s Fort Moultrie property and the Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse property located at Station 18.5 (Map link). The trail section will also be a continuation of the existing Phase I loop originating on the seaward (southern) side of the Station 16 Street beach path, and will link to the eastbound trailhead of Phase II.

The trail’s construction will be of a naturally compacted and graded sand with a linear distance of approximately ¾ of a mile (3900’). No external delivery of sand will be needed. The trail will be 8’ to 10’ feet wide and traverse relatively low and undulating secondary dune topography. The contractor will be tasked with general clearing of brush, vines and shrubs along the marked path. No trees are to be removed.
