Burroughs Audubon Nature Club Trail Improvements

The contract involves construction work to enhance access to educational opportunities within the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club's 30-acre nature sanctuary located at 301 Railroad Mills Road in Pittsford, NY. Key improvements include upgrading existing trail and boardwalk infrastructure, such as removing and replacing timber boardwalks, constructing a new accessible route, adding an observation deck, and creating an outdoor education area to promote environmental learning and accessibility. The project is partially funded by the Recreational Trails Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration, emphasizing the focus on outdoor recreation and accessible infrastructure. The contract is set to be completed upon the completion of the work, with a response deadline of July 16, 2024, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for June 25, 2024. Bidders are encouraged to submit questions by July 2, 2024, to Brittany Murphy via email. The project has a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and it is managed by the New York-based Burroughs Audubon Nature Club. Notably, no business entities have been awarded a similar contract within the past five years, and the project does not set aside opportunities specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with procurement procedures and aims to improve the sanctuary’s infrastructure to support educational and recreational activities.
