Z--TX-FWS SANTA ANA NWR-TRAIL REPAIRS

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting bids for trail repairs at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. The project involves rehabilitating existing trails with caliche and granite. The successful bidder will be responsible for transporting caliche within the refuge, applying a binder to the caliche, and resurfacing the trails. The bidder must also ensure that the work is done in a way that avoids tree removal and minimizes environmental impact. • The binder must be included in the bid and itemized in the pricing. • The bidder can choose to apply the binder as a spray or incorporate it as a powder mixed with the granite. • The bidder must use dump trucks with end dump tailgate spread to transport caliche within the refuge. • The existing granite on Pintail 3 west trail may also need to be rehabilitated. • There is no preference regarding the color of the caliche, but the size must be 2 ½–3 inches.
