Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks a small‑business contractor to construct a 2,250‑ft Chalk Rock Link Trail in Pickstown, SD. Work includes clearing and grubbing a 72‑inch wide corridor, bench excavation, tread shaping, and placement of a 4‑inch compacted crushed‑gravel surface. The trail will feature switchbacks, turning platforms, and a 4 × 8‑ft gravel pad for a future cedar‑log bench. Contractors must protect native Burr Oak trees, remove cedar trees trimmed ≥25 %, and pile cleared vegetation for later USACE removal. The project requires a sustained grade of 6‑8 % (max 10‑15 % for short intervals) and drainage features for long‑term sustainability. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 24, 2026.
