Additional deliverables include mobilization, environmental protection with stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) responsibilities, traffic control, split rail fence removal and replacement (60 linear feet), and owner staff training. Successful contractors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience on public projects involving singletrack trails, gravity jump trails, pump tracks, dirt jumps, and other mountain bike trail elements, and must designate an experienced test rider to oversee construction and verify design intent compliance. All work must comply with St. George City standards, achieve 90% modified Proctor density compaction, maintain positive drainage with no surface water ponding, and be completed between the work commencement date of March 16, 2026, and the completion deadline of May 15, 2026, with work restricted to 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday.

The procurement documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. However, all bidders must comply with employment verification requirements, including E-Verify procedures and legal work status certification for all employees and subcontractors, with non-compliance constituting grounds for unilateral contract termination and potential one-year suspension from future City projects.
