Islandacres Trail Project

The South Hero Land Trust is procuring construction services for the Islandacres Trail Project, a public-access trail initiative located in South Hero, Vermont within Franklin County. The primary deliverable is the construction of approximately 0.5 miles of an accessible, crushed stone-surface trail built to ADA standards, representing the first phase of a proposed 1-mile trail connecting South Street to Tracy Road across three separate privately-owned parcels.

Key objectives include meeting accessibility standards while creating a functional public recreational route. The posting was released on May 4, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of May 25, 2026, providing potential bidders with approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their bids.
