The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division, on behalf of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, is soliciting bids for the construction of 7.5 miles (39,644 linear feet) of Mountain Bike Trails at Cacapon Resort State Park in Monongalia County. The procurement is a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) numbered 0310 DNR25000016 for building construction services, specifically focused on developing a "Technical" trail system. The project requires constructing single-track mountain bike trails according to sustainable trail building standards from IMBA and USFS guidelines, with specific technical requirements including trail corridor width, surface characteristics, and specialized construction elements like boardwalks, rock crossings, and bridges. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on 06/26/2025, and bids are due on 07/17/2025 at 1:30 PM ET. Contractors must adhere to detailed specifications, including construction techniques for water crossings, log bridge stringers, and stream crossing designations, with the project associated with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit.

The contract does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The project will be funded through state procurement and potentially an Economic Development Administration (EDA) federal grant, with a total project timeline of 545 days requiring substantial completion by day 485. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond, performance and labor/material payment bonds, and maintain $1,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance and $500,000 in automobile liability insurance. Liquidated damages are set at $350 per day beyond the contract end date, and wage rates will be determined using Davis-Bacon Act standards. While no specific budget range is provided, the solicitation indicates unit pricing for various trail segments and construction elements. CEC Inc. is serving as the project's architect/engineer, and the work will be invoiced and shipped through the Division of Natural Resources locations in Charleston and Berkeley Springs, West Virginia.
