This project is for the site improvements to the Canyon View Information Plaza and the Mather Point overlook at Grand Canyon National Park. This phase will require construction of a stone landmark feature, stone amphitheater, restroom building, concrete shuttle bus stop, and Mather Point overlook improvements. The project also includes minor drainage improvements and construction of asphalt and concrete trails throughout the site. The contractor for this project will be required to incorporate boulders and rocks consistent with the total overall theme for the Mather Point area. The contractor for this project will be required to work with an artist in the placement of the stones for both the landmark feature and the amphitheater. The structure for the amphitheater will consist of an earth and fill faced with large boulders that serve as character elements and seating. The contractor for this project will also be required to place specific signature boulders to develop the appropriate design character for the site. The Mather Point Overlook improvements will consist of reconstruction of the concrete walking stair near its current location and will include new hand railings along the canyon rim. A major element of the project will be constructing an accessible concrete trail along the canyon rim, from the existing rim trail down to the Mather Point Overlook. The trail construction will include stone walls and railings along the canyon rim and also may include rock excavation. The contractor for this project will also be required to bring the overlook surface up to ABAAS standards without degrading the natural Kaibab limestone bedrock and maintaining the integrity of the experience for the visitor. The estimated cost of this project is between $4 and $7 million. The anticipated advertisement date for the project is mid October 2009. Construction period is anticipated to be from spring to fall of 2010.
