Garrett County Government is requesting a quote to prepare a Funding-Ready Master Plan for the Fork Run Recreation Area mountain bike trail system. This is a small-procurement solicitation with a not-to-exceed budget of $30,000.
What we’re seeking (planning-level scope)
Trail system master planning & mapping (site walks, GIS mapping, segment sheets, phasing).
Concept-level drainage/stormwater recommendations (e.g., rolling grade dips, outsloping, cross-drains).
Accessibility & adaptive use considerations (wider treads, hardened surface options, ADA feasibility notes).
Safety & rescue planning (emergency access points, signage/wayfinding for response).
Grant-ready documentation (RTP/FLAP-friendly cost estimates, draft procurement specs, funding appendix).
Connectivity strategy to North Camp/Wisp and potential links to the countywide system.
ROW/environmental readiness summary (likely triggers/permits). Note: Detailed engineering, permit drawings, and formal NEPA/permit submittals are not required under this RFQ. Submission
Deliverables
Master Plan (map + narrative + segment sheets + phasing).
GIS files for proposed alignments.
Cost estimate spreadsheet (standard trail units: LF, SF, EA, mobilization).
