Trail Rehabititation Martin Hill ATV Trail Evitts

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), specifically Buchanan State Forest, is seeking contracted services for trail rehabilitation of the Martin Hill ATV Trail, located in Southampton Township, Bedford County. The procurement involves the delivery, spreading, grading, and crowning of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of approved broken shale for the Evitts Mountain Trail segment. The contract opportunity, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 66d61552323913d9c80b1790, was initially posted on November 2, 2011, with a proposal submission deadline of November 10, 2011. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the primary objective appears to be trail maintenance and improvement, focusing on surface restoration and stabilization for all-terrain vehicle usage. Potential bidders would likely need demonstrated experience in trail construction, earthwork, and aggregate material management, with the ability to perform precise grading and shale placement techniques.

No explicit set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions were mentioned in the contract documentation. The jurisdictions associated with this opportunity include Berks County and Mcconnellsburg Borough, though the actual project site is in Southampton Township, Bedford County. The procurement does not specify a precise award value or budget range for the trail rehabilitation project. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements were identified in the available information. Given the nature of the project and its relatively modest scope of 5,000 cubic yards of material placement, the contract would likely be suitable for local earthwork and trail maintenance contractors with appropriate heavy equipment and material handling capabilities. The short timeframe between posting and submission dates suggests an expedited procurement process typical of maintenance-related infrastructure projects.
