Description
The County of Missoula seeks a qualified design‑build contractor to create a new intermediate‑downhill mountain‑bike trail (≈ 7,300 ft) and complete a base‑area loop (≈ 2,640 ft) within Marshall Mountain Park. The contractor must provide full civil‑engineering design, detailed trail‑feature drawings, and on‑site construction while complying with adaptive‑bike standards, Buy‑America, prevailing‑wage rules, and LWCF grant conditions. Volunteer labor from the Missoula Mountain Bike Coalition will be available for clearing and finishing, and the contractor must quantify any cost offsets from this support. The project must be finished by 31 July 2027, with construction primarily scheduled for June‑November 2026.
• Design‑build scope includes site evaluation, alignment, adaptive‑bike feature design, and construction of both trails.
• Must meet specific trail width, grade, camber, and jump specifications; adaptive‑bike standards (Kootenay Adaptive Sport Association) apply.
• Funding conditional on a federal LWCF grant; performance bond and Buy‑America compliance required.
• Contractor must coordinate with MMBC volunteers, the LWCF project team, and adhere to weekday daylight work‑hour restrictions.
