The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is soliciting sealed bids to rebuild sections of the Upper 290 downhill mountain bike trail at Mt.

The project is a public works procurement, so Washington State prevailing wage rates apply.

Contractors must have at least five years of experience constructing purpose-built mountain bike trails and have successfully completed at least three similar projects of at least $60,000 each within the past five years. Bidders must register with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, provide contractor registration numbers, UBI numbers, and federal tax identification numbers, and comply with all mandatory responsibility criteria under RCW 39.04.350, including industrial insurance coverage, employment security department number, state excise tax registration, and public works training requirements. Voluntary diversity goals are 10% for Minority Business Enterprises, 6% for Women's Business Enterprises, 5% for Washington Small Businesses, and 5% for Veteran-owned businesses.

The scope comprises 12 base bid items: trench excavation safety provisions, boulder removal, decommissioning of 2,022 linear feet of existing trail, vegetation and tree removal, reconstruction or construction of 20 berm features, 2,312 linear feet of new trail surface, reconstruction of 10 rock features, 10 site work features, 11 pounds of seed mix, 1,904 square yards of erosion control blanket, and 2,696 linear feet of sediment control logs. Temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control features must be installed and maintained.

The estimated bid range is $110,663.69 to $135,255.62. A bid bond equal to 5% of the base bid is required for bids exceeding $35,000, and a performance bond is due within 15 days of contract execution. Substantial completion is due October 15, 2027, with final completion within 30 calendar days thereafter. Liquidated damages are $250.00 per day for delays beyond the completion date. The project is funded through Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission resources. The contract requires monthly reporting of subcontractor payments through the Access Equity system and includes apprenticeship utilization provisions if applicable. Bid results are typically available within three business days of the December 15 deadline.
