Beyond Cost Per Mile: Understanding Trail Costs

Virtual Training

Webinar Project Planning and Design

Bay Area Trails Collaborative Trail Talk – Estimating the cost of a trail is rarely as simple as a price per mile — material types, site conditions, prevailing wage, and inflation all shape what a project will actually cost.

Join the Bay Area Trails Collaborative for a Trail Talk featuring a trail manager, designer, and contractor who will utilize two case studies to share their perspectives on cost estimating philosophy, breaking down project components, and avoiding scope gaps from planning through construction. Whether you’re sourcing unit prices, interviewing contractors, preparing bid documents, or navigating funding requirements, you’ll leave with practical tools and real-world insights to build more accurate estimates.
