This work also includes renovations to the interior of the existing Beach Bathhouse, renovations to the interior and exterior of the Lower Loop A Bathhouse, and construction of a replacement Bathhouse for Upper Loop A (existing structure is a 4-unit toilet building that will be demolished).

Option Items scope*: Perform renovations to the Day Use Area, including replacing the existing paved/concrete pathways that connect the beach to the bathhouse and the parking area, renovating the picnic area, renovating an area to create a designated kayak and small boat launch, and building a stone memorial garden area.

The contractor shall be responsible for furnishing all mobilization, labor, materials, tools, supervision, personnel, equipment and other incidentals necessary to perform all work and meet the requirements outlined in the supporting project plans and specifications.

*Optional scope items shall only be awarded if funding is available on behalf of the Forest Service. If not, award shall be for base scope items only.

2.0 Background

Sherando Lake Recreation Area lies within the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and is one of the most popular recreation areas in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. Originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the mid-1930’s, the recreation area, and its two lakes, is often referred to as the Crown Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The area’s multiple family campground options provide an ideal destination for visitors to enjoy hiking, picnicking, fishing the lakes and streams, swimming, and relaxing on the sandy beach. In just 10 years, Sherando will reach the significant milestone of 100 years of operations. Rehabilitation work is intended to address deferred maintenance and support public access to this rec area for years to come.
