The purpose of this Bid is to establish a price from a qualified firm (“Contractor”) to construct an 11.5-mile pedestrian and bicycle trail from Basin Road in West Hurley, NY (Town of Hurley) to NYS Route 28A in Boiceville, NY (Town of Olive). The recreational trail will be constructed primarily on the County-owned alignment of the former Ulster & Delaware Railroad Corridor on the north shore of the Ashokan Reservoir (the “Ashokan Trail Easement”). The removal of railroad rail, ties, and other track materials and the felling and disposal of hazard trees along with the rough grading of the project site will be completed by June 2018 under a separate bid prior to this construction phase. The construction of the Ashokan Rail Trail under this Bid will include, but is not limited to, the following: installation of crushed stone layers over existing ballast; construction of a bridge structure at the Butternut Creek (approximately 75 feet); removal of the failed concrete culvert at the Butternut Creek; installation of boardwalk (approximately 500 feet) along one wetland area on the trail alignment; repair, cleaning and/or replacement of smaller drainage culverts along corridor; and installation of trail appurtenances, including wooden safety fencing and signage.
