JUPD Fieldstone East Trail Repairs RFP 2025/2026

The Jericho Underhill Park District (JUPD) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive trail repair and restoration work located in Johnson Village, Chittenden County, Vermont. The procurement opportunity seeks qualified contractors to complete an extensive trail rehabilitation project involving multiple specific technical requirements. The scope of work includes restoring 3,571 linear feet of trail, shortening one culvert by approximately 8 feet, installing 10 elevated treads with grade reversals, constructing 10 armored rock crossings, repairing existing drainage ditching, and installing water bars. The RFP was posted on September 4, 2025, with proposals due by October 1, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline of approximately four weeks. Contractors interested in this project must demonstrate significant experience in trail construction, environmental restoration, and infrastructure improvement within park and recreational settings. While specific evaluation criteria were not fully detailed in the available documentation, typical considerations likely include technical capability, past performance, proposed approach, and cost competitiveness.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Unfortunately, the attached supporting documentation (Fieldstone_East_Trail_Repairs_RFP_2025_2026.pdf and JUPD_MRP_Trail_Map_with_Waypoints_December_2023.jpg) were inaccessible, which limits comprehensive analysis of potential award values, budget ranges, or integration requirements. The project is located in Johnson Village, suggesting potential local or regional contractor preferences might exist. Given the technical complexity and specific trail restoration requirements, prospective bidders should anticipate demonstrating specialized expertise in trail engineering, environmental conservation, and infrastructure rehabilitation. While precise budget information is not provided, trail restoration projects of this scale typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on terrain complexity, materials required, and specific site conditions.
