Site work for a civil project in Placerville, California. Completed plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

SCOPE OF CONTRACT: The procurement is for the fabrication, construction, and installation of four trail bridges of varying lengths on the Pony Express trail between Kyburz and Echo Summit. o Remove logs (if any) that served as waterway crossings at the trail bridge sites. o For all four trail bridges (Clubhouse, Fred's Place, Aspen, Huckleberry), the design is determined by the Forest Service standard trail bridge design for a wooden major trail bridge applicable to the appropriate length. See attachment 1 for standard bridge plans. o Minimum dimensions for all trail bridges are: 72" width between top railing which shall be no less than 42" above top of deck. The maximum opening of side railings shall be 8". o Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will verify location of each trail bridge, staging area and the best route between the two with the Contractor. Two bridge sites (Fred's Place, Aspen) are located within 150' of a dirt road or staging area. Two bridge sites (Clubhouse, Huckleberry) are located 2/3 mile and 1/2 mile respectfully from the work site's staging areas. o Contractor shall supply and install all dimensional lumber, concrete, associated hardware and appurtenances, as shown in the drawings. Contractor is responsible for verifying correct length of each trail bridge prior to fabrication. o Construction of the bridge's footings/foundation shall have been completed at least three weeks before attachment and installation of the superstructure implemented to allow concrete to cure and harden. Previous bridge footings left in place post-fire are not the correct dimension of the new footings but can be incorporated into the construction of the new footings.

This would be found on the left (west) side of map Caldor Trail Bridge Relief #1.
