GAOA 4FO SMCG Trail Renovation

This contract involves the construction of an asphalt trail connecting the upper visitor center to the lower Acastus Trail, along with the replacement of a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe culvert. The scope of work includes extensive earthwork such as clearing, grubbing, asphalt removal, excavation, embankment, and grading of the native subbase. Existing trail materials will be conserved and repurposed for trail shoulders and resting pad subgrades, ensuring all aggregate materials remain onsite. The new trail will feature a 6-foot width, 3-inch thick asphalt surface with a maximum 2% cross slope, supported by a 4-inch depth aggregate base. Additional elements include constructing asphalt resting pads measuring 4 by 6 feet with specified thickness and slope, installation of NDOT Type 5 concrete curbs with appropriate grading and compaction, and proper backfilling around curbs. The culvert work requires removal of the existing pipe and associated rock inlet and outlet riprap, with a proposed placement designed for a minimum 5% drop. Asphalt trail and shoulder extensions are included as option items. The project is a total small business set-aside under solicitation number 1240LT26Q0027, managed by the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest branch of the Department of Agriculture, with performance expected in Nevada and key contacts available at the provided emails. Responses are due by March 31, 2026.
