Swift School Tract Recreational Trail Mulching Specifications

This is a scope of work specification document issued by the State of Alabama for a mulching and trail installation project at the Swift School Tract state lands property. The project requires a vendor to create and mulch a recreational hiking trail spanning approximately 1.236 miles (6,500 feet) with a width of 12 feet throughout its length, plus an additional 2-acre mulching area at the trailhead. The specifications prohibit mulching of trees or stems larger than 8 inches in diameter and recommend use of skid steer-style mulching equipment rather than cutters. All excess debris generated during installation must be mulched in place. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6th at 10:00 AM at the property entrance opposite the Charme Road and Bon Secour Highway intersection in Bon Secour, Alabama. The project must be completed by June 31, 2026, with Jeremy Doss (251-404-3919) serving as the point of contact.

The bid submission includes all labor, materials, supplies, and equipment costs in a single all-or-none pricing structure. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or funding sources are detailed in the specifications document. The contract appears to be competitively bid with mandatory contractor participation in the site visit requirement prior to proposal submission.
