The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area has three upcoming construction projects. At this time, there are no solicitations, plans or specifications available. We expect each of these projects to have their own solicitations in the upcoming next couple of months. Because it is expected that the solicitations will be coming out during the winter, the weather will make it impossible to conduct site visits during the time period for the solicitations, wo we are having a combined site visit of the three areas now before the snow sets in. The "Show-me trips" are for Cathedral Rock Picnic Area Reconstruction, Desert View Overlook Reconstruction, and Lee Meadows Rehab projects planned for advertising in 2010. Please meet the contracting officer and his representative at Lower Cathedral Rock Trailhead parking area on November 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM. We will look at the sites, and take questions from the attendees, which will be helpful in preparing the requests for proposals, as well as helping us identify potential contractors. Brief description of projects: Cathedral Rock Picnic Area: Project is located on Nevada highway 157 at milepost 0.1. Work includes but is not limited to demolition of existing trailhead parking area; reconstruction of picnic area roads, buildings, picnic sites and paths, water and waste water systems; and installing electrical lines for buildings and host sites.
