Okanogan Trail Construction provides specialized services in order to maintain and rehabilitate the City’s Mountain Preserve and Desert Parks trails system. These services include:
- Assisting in the removal of non-designated trails by providing natural re-shaping methods and seeding to return the land back to a natural state.
- Providing general trail maintenance, as necessary, to make trails safe, sustainable and maintainable.
- Rerouting trails as approved in plans, where safety, maintenance, and/or sustainability issues arise.
- Supplying and installing signage, trail posts and trail counters, as necessary.
This request is for an extension of the contract term to allow the Procurement team to conduct a competitive procurement process.
