The scope of work includes construction of 7.11 miles of beginner and intermediate machine-built bike-optimized trail as part of the Mud Springs Trail System (MSTS). The MSTS is a planned, multi-phase, 20+ mile stacked loop trail system located in the Spanish Valley area of northern San Juan County, Utah. (Attachment 1) This proposal will focus on Phase 1 of construction, as described below. Coordinates of the trailhead are 38.43256, -109.42229. The trails will be purpose-built for mountain bike and Class 1 E-bike riding. Trails will be designed to accommodate diverse skill levels, adaptive cycles (Attachment 2), and National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) races. The Moab NICA race will be moved to MSTS when it is complete. Work must be completed between August 1st and November 30th in accordance with wildlife restrictions (mule deer and migratory birds.) Ideal candidates will be able to complete the project within the build window in 2025. However, it is reasonable that the project will take place during build windows in both 2025 and 2026, focusing on Group 1 in 2025 and Group 2 in 2026. SEND PROPOSAL INQUIRIES TO:
