Description
The Washington State Parks Winter Recreation Program is requesting qualified firms to provide comprehensive snowmobile trail grooming services for roughly 36 miles of designated trails within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Skamania County. The contractor must own or control all required snow‑grooming equipment, submit all‑inclusive hourly rates, and adhere to detailed reporting, GPS tracking, and safety requirements. The contract is a fixed‑price, five‑year IDIQ with possible extensions, and includes annual budgeting that may vary each season.
• Perform grooming, snow‑compaction, and tree‑clearing to maintain a minimum 10‑ft trail width during the Dec 1–Mar 31 season.
• Provide equipment specifications (heated cab, 10‑ft blade, tracking system, communication gear) and backup plans for equipment failure.
• Submit weekly/monthly schedules, daily grooming logs, GPS data, and seasonal summary reports; non‑compliance triggers liquidated damages.
