			Background: The Gore Valley Trail is the primary recreation path through Vail and is managed by the Town and passes through Vail Corporation owned property in the Lionshead area. The route of the recreation path through the Lionshead ski base area creates conflicts with other uses in the area and creates safety concerns. Please see attached aerial image. The purpose of the feasibility analysis is to identify possible opportunities and costs for the realignment of recreation path to reduce conflicts and improve user safety. Staff released a Request for Proposal for professional services with 3 firms responding. The range of fees in the 3 proposals is $79,900 to $103,600. The firm Otak presented considerable experience on recreation path projects with similar challenges for a proposed fee of $86,641. The Town and Vail Corporation have agreed to share the cost of the feasibility analysis. Vail Corporation will reimburse the Town $20,000 to pay for a portion of the fees.
			Staff Recommendation: Authorize the Town Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Otak in the amount of $86,861 for the Gore Valley Trail-Lionshead Realignment Feasibility Analysis.
