GENERAL

Background A partner working group has been formed with Elko County, Northeastern Nevada Stewardship Group, Elko Velo, and Nevada Outdoor School to form the Elko Trail System Initiative (ETSI). ETSI has secured permission from BLM to begin the planning process to build a proposed 50-mile trail system on BLM public lands between the communities of Elko and Spring Creek, Nevada.

Approximately 12 miles of trail has already been flagged on the ground. The remainder 38 miles need to be laid out for the system that would support non-motorized mode of travel (with potential for e-bike use), with an emphasis on mountain bike users.

Subject The subject is the layout of 38 miles of single-track soft surface trail. There are currently few single track trail opportunities that are close to population centers of Elko and Spring Creek.

Scope of Work Provide all necessary labor, equipment, and materials to complete 38 miles of single-track soft surface trail layout incorporating existing proposed trails, supporting 4 trailheads that have been identified, and providing a map with descriptions of each trail segment.

Project Access and Location Access and Location to the Project Site: The proposed trail system is located approximately 5.8 miles south of Elko on NV-227. Other access points are located along NV 228, approximately 1.25 miles from the junction of NV-227 and NV-228 near Spring Creek and along Hilltop Road in Spring Creek.

Working Hours: Contractor shall decide own working hours in coordination with Contracting Officer.

Approximate latitude/longitude of suggested access points: NV-227 (40°47'14.34"N, 115°41'33.21"W), NV-228 (40°46'4.05"N, 115°40'54.84"W), Hilltop Road (40°44'59.30"N, 115°44'3.52"W) Existing Conditions Existing flagged alignment: 12.28 miles of trail have already been flagged on the ground.

Trailheads: 4 trailheads have been identified and will be designed internally.
