The project is funded, in part, by a Recreational Trails Program Grant. All contractors shall be in good standing with Bartow County and shall abide by all Federal Requirements set forth for the project. A brief summary of these requirements is included in the bid documents. All bids will be evaluated based on price and bid specifications provided.

PROJECT LOCATION Wilderness Camp Trail System (Trailhead) 320 Wilderness Camp Road SE White, GA 30184 Bartow County is requesting bids from qualified individuals or firms to provide trail construction services for Phase 2 of the Wilderness Camp Trail System. Phase 2 includes approximately 4 miles of intermediate-level bike trails and a bridge over McKaskey Creek to connect Phase 2 trails to the other side of the property to be developed in future phases. Trail Construction o Phase 2 design offers two loops, each one to be built with a distinct character that will provide a more "backcountry" feel and will aid in rider progression. Phase 2 also includes a short connector trail with a bridge crossing that will help connect the Phase 1 and 2 trails to future phased trails. o Trail segment 301: Trail segment 301 is flagged in orange and at an estimated 2.31 miles or 12,197 feet and designed to be an intermediate directional shared-use loop trail built to Forest Service Class 3 Singletrack specifications with a tread on average of 24-36 inches wide with dirt roller grade reversals added. Trail segment 301 is designed to maximize descents and climbs to highlight the steeper side slopes in this zone and to be directional by day. Natural rock features should be utilized as either alternates or incorporated in the tread with sustainable armoring techniques. o Trail segment 302: Trail segment 302 is flagged in blue and orange and at an estimated 0.42 miles or 2,264 feet and designed to be an intermediate bi-directional shared-use singletrack trail with tread on average of 36-48 inches wide with dirt roller grade reversals added. Trail segment 302 is designed to accommodate twoway traffic and will require a 15-20 foot bridge crossing (see additional bridge details below). o Trail segment Wagon Wheel Extension: Wagon Wheel Extension is flagged in pink and at an estimated 1 mile or 5,280 feet and designed to be an intermediate directional shared use loop trail built to Forest Service Class 3 Singletrack specifications with a tread on average of 24-36 inches wide with dirt roller grade reversals added. Natural rock features should be utilized as either alternates or incorporated in the tread with sustainable armoring techniques. Bridge Crossing o Trail segment 302 requires a 15-20 foot bridge crossing over McKaskey Creek. The bridge should be built with a deck 8-feet wide with rails appropriate for bikes to accommodate two-way traffic. o The bridge crossing should be constructed of pressure treated wood or fiberglass. Sills should be set on firm constructed footings. Sills should be rot resistant and rated for ground contact. Sills should be dimensional lumber or fiberglass. The final deck width should be 8-feet in width. Decking should be rough cut timber, to ensure adequate traction during wet weather. All bridge, boardwalk, and wooden feature construction should meet local deck or similar building code. o No stamped plans for the bridge currently exist. See example bridge design plans attached for suggested specifications Signage o Updated trail kiosk map (1) - 36"x 48" panel (posts and frame can remain as is, front panel will just be swapped out) and Hub Map signs (2) - 44" x 60" panels (posts and braces can remain as is, panels will just be swapped out) o New trail hub signs (2) 24"x 36" panel with posts and frame o Directional trail signage (5) - 12"x 9" o Assorted trail signage (11) - 12"x12" o Cedar recycled plastic posts (16) - 4x4x96" o Trail blades - brown, 48" out of the ground, will be placed approximately every 0.10 of a mile so ~40 should be adequate for wayfinding signage o Trail blade decals - 3"x 3" full color symbols. ~4 per side of each blade (~360 in total) Access/Staging o There is a paved parking lot at the trailhead with access to a restroom and drinking water. Selected contractor will coordinate with County staff to determine staging area, either on the property or on neighboring County-owned property. o The undeveloped area where the Phase 2 trails will be constructed is forested and not maintained for passenger vehicle traffic. It is up to the contractor to make a transportation plan based on the conditions they observe on site and the capabilities of their vehicle(s) and equipment.
