Site work for a bridge / tunnel in Cache Jct, Utah. Completed plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. Replace and install new culvert across the Bonneville Shoreline Trail along the east Bench area of Cache Valley. Must attend Mandatory Site Visit to Bid. Utah DNR Forestry, Fire and State Lands is working to improve access for emergency vehicles responding to fires in the wildland urban interface (WUI.) The area of the proposed project is along the east bench of Cache Valley, one of the fastest growing WUI areas in the Bear River Area of northern Utah. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail runs along the east bench of Cache Valley and acts as a service road between Dry Canyon and Millville Canyon above the continuous "deer fence" that parallels the trail. The intention of the project is to ensure that emergency vehicles can traverse the service road in case wildland fires threaten residential areas below the deer fence, and conversely, provide vehicular access to prevent wildfires from escaping into the wildlands east of the fence. In one particular location, the trail/road crosses a spring that is conducted under the trail by a rudimentary wood and stone culvert. In order to support fire engines using the road/trail for access, the culvert will need to be upgraded to support vehicles with a GVW rating of 50,000 lbs. The meeting will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m.MT. Any prospective bidder who arrives late to the meeting will not be allowed to continue with the site visit nor submit a bid. Failure to attend the site visit shall result in the disqualification of any bidder that does not have an authorized representative attend the entire duration of the mandatory site visit.
