ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF SERVICES
Additions to Part Three – Construction Documents
Third Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement between City of Fresno (City) and Provost and Pritchard Engineering Group, Inc. (Consultant)
River West Eaton Trail Extension Project
Background
Upon review of the project’s 90% plans, it ha s been determined by City of Fresno that a means of accessible pedestrian access from the Palm Avenue public street right of way to the Palm Avenue trail end access point is needed. This pedestrian access will utilize the existing accessible route from the sidewalk along Palm Avenue, along the walkway through Spano Park and then proceed down the 60-foot tall bluff face.
Traversing the bluff requires a full redesign of the stairs and the design of a new accessible ramp, consisting of a network of ramp runs and level landings with switchback down the bluff with handrails & guardrails, where necessary. See the image below of the original concept that was presented to the City in February 2026.

Figure 1. Initial Stairway and Ramp Concept
Scope of Services
The consultant shall provide an engineering design of the pedestrian accessible ramp system and redesign of the stairs from the Palm Avenue public street right of way to the Palm Avenue trail end access point as requested. Where it is technically infeasible for the ramp and the stairs to share landings, provide a design solution to separate the two systems.
It is expected that the ramp system will have cut walls with maximum of 4-ft in height to keep the design economical as much as possible. Some areas of the ramp are expected to have fill walls (side of the ramp is the retained side) of varying height and of these fill walls require the addition of guardrails to the ramp handrai ls for compliance with the CBC. At the bottom of the bluff, where the stairs and the ramp meet, the ramp is expected to continue to descend approximately 15 feet vertically to join the new trail.
The consultant shall submit the final plans, specifications, and estimates including the accessible ramp and updated stairs as a part of the final deliverables.
