1.) Removal and disposal of one native log stairway with handrails and approximately 84 ft. of treated puncheon step and run.

2.) Construction of an estimated 32 lineal ft. of treated timber puncheon step and run, 24” wide that will replace the removed stairway.

3.) Construction of one 24 ft. long treated timber bridge with one handrail on the downslope side.

4.) Construction of two 30 ft. long treated timber bridges each with one handrail on the downslope side. The two 30 ft. bridges will butt up to each other to form a 60 ft. length. Bridges will span two steep sidehill sections of trail.

5.) Mobilization of materials and equipment to perform the work.

Metal, treated timber, and other manufactured products from the removed stairway and puncheon will be disposed of by removing from Government-administered lands and placing in approved waste disposal sites as per

916.05 Disposal, Forest Service Standard Specifications for Construction and Maintenance of Trails. Native material in the existing stairway may be disposed of by scattering above the trailway out of view from the trail as approved by the COR.
