Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail Obstruction Clearing

Dorchester County, South Carolina, is seeking qualified firms to submit bids for obstruction clearing services along a defined segment of the Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail. The work involves evaluating and removing physical obstructions identified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) during a March 2025 assessment. The project area is broken into five GPS‑defined segments (A‑E) with priority points listed from highest (Point 25) to lower priority. Bidders must assess current conditions on‑site, develop a clearing plan, and execute the removal of debris, vegetation, or other impediments to ensure safe trail passage. • Scope: Survey, plan, and clear obstructions across five river‑adjacent trail segments. • Geographic focus: Ashley River Scenic Blue Trail, coordinates roughly between W 80.201‑80.253, N 32.955‑32.969. • Priority: Follow USACE‑identified priority points, starting at the Ashley River Park Boat Landing and moving upriver. • Deliverables: Cleared trail sections, documentation of work completed, and any required reporting to the County. • Evaluation: Based on qualification, price, and ability to meet County’s safety and environmental standards.
