Site work for a sidewalk / parking lot in Custer, South Dakota. Completed plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot.

Veterans Point Trail is an asphalt trail with metal railing and timber retaining walls that provide access from the parking area to fishing piers and viewpoints at Pactola Reservoir. As the trail switchbacks its way to from the parking area to the shoreline, the contractor should be aware of the steep slopes and limited working area. The asphalt trail is deteriorating, with severe oxidation, cracks, heaving, and undercutting in the asphalt. The retaining walls are leaning and no longer keep material off the Trail. This project will fill and seal the cracks, reconstruction select sections, stabilize eroding areas, and apply a seal coat to the asphalt. Timber retaining walls will be removed and reconstructed with segmental concrete block retaining walls. The pipe railing is damaged in some areas. This project will also repair the damaged sections of railing and eliminate sections where the railing is not needed. The Project will also construct reinforcement with gabion (wire rock baskets) to repair eroded sections at the trails edge and bridge abutments. Existing timber retaining walls will be removed. New larger retaining walls will be constructed. An overlook near water's edge will be eliminated. Tables, benches, and pedestal fire grills will be removed (though new tables and benches are planned for the site as separate work). From the Bridge, a 1,014 ft loop provides access to an inlet. This Loop is referenced in this project as "lakeshore loop". Work on this loop is OPTIONAL Bid Items and includes crack sealing, asphalt seal coat, and 620 square feet of segmental retaining wall. The due date for questions remains March 3rd, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Part 12.
