Project Title: Sandpoint, Idaho Lower Basin Downhill Trails
Project Solicitation Number (if any):
Project Description: The current project includes 1.76 miles of new, already flagged and designed mountain bike optimized, downhill only, advanced mountain biking trail, along with an additional alternative 500 linear foot climbing segment to replace a steep, existing stretch of trail at the lowest trailhead in the Lower Basin trail system.
Part of the intent of the new downhill trail segments is to provide trail system users with a professionally designed and built alternative to an existing, user-created black downhill trail that follows a natural gas and fiberoptic utility corridor. The existing trail includes many unsustainably built segments prone to deep rutting and erosion following rain events and around a dozen or more jumps, mostly gaps, built without progression or rider experience in mind.
The trail segments described in this RFP are intended to replicate the experience of the existing trail (in terms of technical difficulty and opportunities for optional jumps, drops, and other advanced features), while achieving a professional, modern, and more sustainable standard of trail design and construction.
