Background:
The purpose of this project is to grow and expand the community and economic development
opportunities in the Sanpete County region. This will be accomplished through evolving and
advancing outdoor recreational opportunities by establishing and developing multi-use trails in
Ephraim Canyon. The creation of these trails will fulfill a regional need and promote tourism in a
rural-defined area.
Scope:
The scope of work for this phase of the project involves constructing multi-use trails totaling 2.73
miles. The trail will be constructed in a way that will permit hiking and non-motorized vehicle
usage. To enforce this, the project will include installing rail fences at each access point. The
construction of the trail began by the Forest Service using a piece of machinery to carve a rough
outline of the trails by eliminating trees and larger objects. A crew composed of laborers and
volunteers will now follow to eradicate any barriers that would make the trails idle. This crew will
also do touch work on the trails in order to enhance accessibility. Lastly, signage will be installed
at each of the trail heads in order to guide trail users. All work that is performed to complete this
venture will require assistance from multiple organizations and individuals.Information and Instruction to Bidders:
