CONTRACT # 171057-JOC
Due Date: Thursday 26, 2017
Due Time: 2:00PM, (Arizona Time)
1) Prior Experience
American Conservation Experience (ACE) (incorporated in the State Of Arizona), is a national,
501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, with headquarters in Flagstaff, AZ, and regional bases in St
George UT, Asheville NC, and Santa Cruz and Lake Tahoe CA. ACE employs 85 full time staff,
approximately 1,250 young adults annually, and in 2016 crews completed 1500 weeks of work
totaling more than 454,000 hours of service.
ACE is widely recognized as a national leader in the design, construction and maintenance of
multiuse trails. ACE is a full service trails organization adept at managing large scale projects in
both front and back country locations, using hand tools and mechanized means (Sutter Trail
Dozers, mini excavators, rock drills, blasting equipment, and chainsaws). ACE takes pride in
producing high quality trail work that conforms to National Standards and is sympathetic to the
needs of the local environment, geology, hydrology and user groups.
ACE works with multiple Federal, State and local land management agencies and numerous trail
focused non-profit organizations to deliver technical trail projects on time and on budget. ACE has
worked with 13 regional government departments (including Coconino, Pima and Pinal Counties),
12 State Agencies, 13 Cities, 45 nonprofit organizations, and over 140 Federal land management
units. ACE has successfully and safely completed hundreds of trail projects throughout Arizona
and the Southwest since being founded in 2004. In the last 5 years the ACE Trail Team has
completed over 1,800 miles of trail work during approximately 1 million hours of work. ACE has
an excellent safety record with 0.067 injuries per crew week worked. ACE is licensed by the
Arizona Registrar of Contractors under classification A-5 (excavating, grading and oil surfacing)
and is a certified trail contractor for the State of Arizona State Parks program. ACE works under
either job order contracts or formal participating agreements, that are functional equivalents of job
order contracts for non- profit organizations.
ACE's unique modet unites a full-time staff of highly skilled and experienced trail specialists, using
the latest technology and equipment, with a large, well-trained workforce of young adult crew
members. ACE's trails team staff serve as project managers to ensure that crews design,
construct, and maintain each trail to exacting standards. This level of oversight on each trail
project creates a highly skilled and professional trail building resource with the advanced capacity
to successfully and safely complete any trail construction and maintenance project.
Project Title: Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park Trail
Agency Partners: Arizona State Parks
ACE holds a multi-year contract with AZ State Parks to provide trail maintenance and construction
services. The average number of projects assigned and completed by ACE per year is six, with

an average annual cost of $150,000. This project was to design and construct a 3.6 mile trail in
Arizona's newest State Park leading from Highway 89 to the fatality site. ACE employed three
hand crews, a site foreman and project manager to ensure project schedules and a high quality
standard of the work. The project started in January 2016 and was completed in 7 months of
construction time for the official dedication ceremony on November 30, 2016. The budget was
determined by a collaboration between AZ State Parks and ACE to be value engineered for the
best possible value to the project owner. This trail construction project was very complex and
required complex rigging operations to construct extensive dry stone masonry structures
throughout the entire length of the trail. ACE designed and built the trails at Granite Mountain
Hotshots Memorial State Park. Park boundary maps, with a start and end point were provided by
State Parks, but the concept alignment and site specific design plans were drafted by ACE. The
trails were constructed using ACE crews and managed by ACE trail staff.
ACE provided complimentary trail and project design services to add value to the partnership.
Over 150 hours were required to assess, design and cost the trail project. Multiple field surveys
gathered detailed information to input in to industry leading cost estimating software to provide a
detailed cost and project schedule. The cost estimate was used to create project schedules for
five separate phases of the project to better define required field resources. Design phase and
systems reviews were conducted with AZ State Parks team upon completion of field site surveys.
This process revealed that three crews operating as a team under the direction of the site foreman
were ideal to complete the project under the project owner's timeframe. The large and skilled
labor force ACE offers to project sponsors was ideal to complete this complex project on time and
on budget. ACE staff determined the best order of operations to organize and complete the
project within the project schedule. Upon completion of the trail design, ACE project management
staff conducted site visits to determine the time frames required to complete five sections of trail
determined by effort required and the terrain. Each section was given a work schedule to ensure
timely completion, with project design and troubleshooting performed by ACE project managers
prior to project implementation.
Project price was established using the initial site visits and cost estimating software. Industry
leading cost estimation software for trail projects was used to estimate the materials, labor,
equipment and the total cost for the project, including trail design and construction. Twelve years
of gathering and analyzing our production rate data have allowed us to combine our productions
rates with the cost estimation software to determine the most comprehensive estimation available.
No budget or estimate was provided by the owner prior to project design. Site visits conducted
by ACE staff and subsequent cost estimating provided the initial cost for the project which was
approved by the project owner. The project estimate was the actual contract amount of $316,585.
A high level of construction quality was determined by combining natural surface trail standards
of the U.S. Forest Service and AZ State Parks. Intimate knowledge of these trail standards and
terrain complexities was used by ACE project managers to achieve essential quality control
measures. The project was completed within the original project construction schedule, with no
variances in the schedule. Pre-project site visits were conducted in advance of project
implementation to identify potential problems. The potential problems were mitigated prior to
implementation. Potential problems not foreseen during site visits and encountered during
implementation were identified by project managers well ahead of construction crews. Project
managers continually scouted the project ahead of trail crews to prioritize work and mitigate
potential problems. No subcontractors, vendors or material suppliers were used to complete this
project. All skills and abilities were provided in-house by ACE staff members, all materials were
locally harvested from the construction area.

ACE engaged in consistent communications with AZ State Parks throughout the project schedule.
Bi-monthly project updates including; hours worked, budget remaining, measurable
accomplishments, photos and GIS data were provided throughout the process. The quality of the
work completed during the first month of work established trust in the relationship and work quality
remained consistent to maintain positive professional interactions with the project owner.
Project Title: Little Bear Trail Restoration
Agency Partners: Coconino National Forest and Flagstaff Biking Organization (FBO)
ACE holds a 5 year agreement with Coconino National Forest to provide trail maintenance and
construction services. The average number of projects assigned and completed by ACE per year
is five, with an average annual cost of $180,000. Little Bear Trail restoration was targeted at 1.75
miles of the most damaged areas following the Schultz Fire and subsequent devastating floods
in 2013. The trail exists within Mexican Spotted Owl habitat and no work was allowed until
September 1, 2016. The official re-opening of the trail took place on October 15, 2016, leaving
ACE a narrow timeframe to complete all work to Forest Service standards. Twelve specific project
sites required completion during the project timeframe to re-establish a safe trail corridor for trail
users. The budget for this project was $30,000, plus $10,000 provided by FBO. The challenging
location, terrain, flood damage, and fire scars required reroutes, switchback construction and a
variety of trail structure types, including rock retaining walls, rock armoring, timber walls and tread
re-establishment. A full complement of tools was required to be transported by hand to the project
areas, increasing the complexity of the logistics, site preparations and implementation.
ACE provided initial services to assist in designing a necessary re-route as well as identifying
hazardous and heavily eroded areas in need of attention. ACE provided experienced sawyers to
fell hazard trees and harvest timber for construction. A number of large retaining structures (both
timber and rock) were constructed in a steep and highly erosive environment. Materials were
locally sourced and moved into place using grip-hoist and associated rigging. In addition, the crew
constructed nine armored drain pans in adherence of dry stone masonry principles to prevent
future large rain events from causing the same catastrophic damage that had occurred previously.
Structure construction was completed ahead of schedule, and routine trail maintenance including
brushing, tread re-establishment and drainage installation was completed on 0.5 miles of trail in
and around the timber and rock project sites.
To allow the Forest Service to re-open this trail, closed since the Schultz Fire of 2010, a defined
amount of work was required to create a safe and enjoyable trail experience for users. During
the estimating process, the scheduling milestone of the official re-opening of the trail, October 15,
2016 was used to determine timeframes for each phase of project implementation. Required
resources for each phase were determined using industry leading cost estimating software
compared with our production rate data to ensure the required resources were devoted to this
project in the defined schedule timeframe. Design phase and systems reviews were conducted
with the agency partner upon completion of field site surveys. Due to the remote and complex
nature of the project, it was determined that a team of eight was optimal to complete the tasks in
a safe and efficient manner. A project manager was assigned to the project to provide support
for complex felling, timber construction and schedule management. The skilled and experienced
project manager provided significant value to the project by donating time and work output to the
project, and ensuring the project's timely completion under the defined project schedule.
ACE project managers conducted site visits in order to design the new trail tread, support
structures, and trail maintenance needed for a successful project. This allowed ACE to determine
the required materials and logistics required to execute the project within the time allotted and to
the standard of the US Forest Service. The price of the project was pre-determined by the project

owner. Geo-spatial data collected during initial site visits were subsequently analyzed using
industry leading cost estimation software to estimate the materials, labor, equipment and the total
cost for the project, including trail design and construction. Twelve years of gathering and
analyzing our production rate data have allowed us to combine our productions rates with the cost
estimation software to determine that the project price was appropriate and schedule constraints
did not affect the success of the project.
The project estimate was the eventual project cost of $40,000. ACE donated 58 hours of labor in
order to ensure that the project was completed to the highest standard and within project
schedule. ACE maintains close working relationships with project partners by maintaining high
construction standards. In this instance ACE strictly adhered to the work standards of the US
forest service. Frequent site visits from project partners as well as a final product walk through
and subsequent user feedback ensured all parties were completely satisfied with the construction
quality. The project was completed within the original project construction schedule, with no
variances in the schedule.
ACE identified and overcame potential problems and challenges by conducting regular site visits
and identifying the skillset required to complete the project to the highest standard. The correct
personal, equipment and tools were assigned to the tasks and the necessary technical expertise
was be provided as needed. Constant dialogue between the onsite crew, the project manager
and agency partner also confirmed that the project was running smoothly and that potential
problems that arose were swiftly dealt with. No subcontractors were needed as ACE has all the
necessary equipment and expertise in house. In addition all building materials were locally
sourced from the surrounding area.
Project Title: Almosta Trail System Construction Project
Agency Partners: USFS, Prescott National Forest
ACE holds a 5 year agreement with Prescott National Forest to provide trail maintenance and
construction services. The average number of projects assigned and completed by ACE per year
is three, with an average annual cost of $188,000. This Project constructed approximately 9 miles
of multi-use non-motorized trail on the Bradshaw Ranger District. The project was conducted over
a period of 6 months and comprised 15 crew weeks of construction. The budget was $74,656 and
ACE donated 1765 hrs of crew time valued at $40,000. The project was conducted in the back
country with no road access. All crew members, tools, food and equipment were "walked" into the
project site adding to logistical complexity.
The method of construction was mechanized, with the use of a Sutter 450 trail dozer followed by
hand crews to compact and finish the treat to a high standard. Upon completion of the trail, the
trail dozer and hand crews obliterated and naturalized miles of an unauthorized 2-track road that
repeatedly crossed the trail alignment. Cost estimates were performed by the project sponsor and
confirmed by ACE staff site visits. Estimates were based on terrain, vegetation cover, and remote
location. Pre project site visits and GIS data were used to develop an implementation plan which
was agreed between the partner agency and ACE staff. Regular partner meetings were held to
review progress, challenges and completion rates.
ACE project managers conducted site visits in order to examine the extent of new that had to be
created. This allowed us to determine the required logistics and that the project could be executed
within the time allotted and to the standard of the US Forest Service. The price of the project was
pre-determined by the project owner. Geo-spatial data collected during initial site examinations
were subsequently analyzed using industry leading cost estimation software, in order to estimate
the materials, labor, equipment and the total cost for the project, including trail design and

construction. The project estimate was the eventual project cost of $74,656, with an additional
volunteer in kind match of 1765.25 hours valued at $40,000.
ACE maintains close working relationships with its project partners, as such our partners are
aware of the high construction standards to which we work. In this instance ACE strictly adheres
to the work standards of the US forest service. ACE maintains its high quality of work through
thorough training of its crews and additional experienced professional support when needed.
Frequent site visits from project partners as well as a final product walk through and subsequent
user feedback ensured all parties were completely satisfied with the construction quality. The
project was completed within the original project construction schedule. However due to several
large rock bands crossing the trail alignment forward progress was slower than expected and
ACE added more crew resources, at no extra cost to the agency partner, to ensure that the project
was completed within the agreed timeframe.
ACE avoided potential problems and was able to overcome potential issues by conducting initial
site visits and identifying the skillset required to complete the project to ensure the correct
personal were assigned to the crew tasked with undertaking the work and that the necessary
technical expertise could be provided as needed. No subcontractors were needed as ACE has all
the necessary equipment and expertise in house. In addition all building materials were locally
sourced from the surrounding area. ACE delivers consistent communications with project owner
throughout the project schedule. Bi-monthly project updates including; hours worked, budget
remaining, measurable accomplishments, photos and GIS data were provided throughout the
process
Project Title: Arizona Trail, Mazatzal Divide and Red Hills Passage Maintenance
Agency Partners: Arizona Trail Association (ATA) and USFS Tonto National Forest
ACE has a strong 10 year working relationship with both the ATA and Tonto NF and averages 8
projects a year with both agencies for an annual cost of $350,000 The project is currently in
progress and has a goal of maintaining over 38.3 miles of the Arizona Trail in the Mazatzal
Wilderness. The project is scheduled for 12 weeks of crew work between October 2016 and June
2017. Specific schedules are extremely weather dependent and logistics are extremely complex
with all supplies, tools and water being hauled many miles into remote backcountry locations by
ACE crews and mule pack teams from Tonto, Prescott and Coronado NF. These sections of the
AZ Trail are among the most remote of the entire trail and are suffering from serious overgrowth
and erosion issues. ACE is contracted to conduct intensive corridor brushing, tread maintenance,
erosion control and route signage over 38 miles.
Project resources and work load were estimated following four multi day reconnaissance trips to
the project area. ACE staff performed these trips as a free service to our partners. Details project
goals, plans and milestones were developed and agreed by all partner before the crews were
mobilized. The cost of this project was established by the ATA in consultation with ACE staff. ACE
is in constant communication with the ATA providing accomplishments and cost data to ensure
the project remain on time and budget. The initial budge was set at $63,600 and ACE is expecting
to provide approximately $15,000 in match (cost of staff and crews above the agreed rate). ACE
maintains high construction standards and strictly adheres to the work standards of the US forest
service and the ATA.
The project is on schedule for completion within the original proposed time frame. ACE and the
ATA are constantly reviewing logistical, weather and landscape challenges to ensure successful
project completion. This collaborative approach will ensure that both parties reach their goals on

this project. ACE is not employing any subcontractors on this project. Additions resources have
been provided by USFS partners to pack supplies into remote locations.

Leader with at least two years of supervisory experience on trail projects. These highly skilled and
full time professional Crew Leaders are the driving force behind the success of ACE crews on
technical and demanding trail projects. They are responsible for the overall safety, quality,
progress and success of individual projects. ACE crew members are young adults, ages 18-25,
serving for 6 months or longer, and preparing for a career in natural resource management either
within land management agencies, with ACE, or with other non-profit organizations. Each crew
member receives in-depth training in sustainable trail design and construction, technical rock
work, erosion control and restoration techniques together with worksite safety, Leave No Trace,
tool safety and heat related illness prevention.
The Trails Team works as a collaborative unit on all of the trail projects undertaken by ACE in
Arizona and the Southwest, this includes the projects highlighted in the Prior Experience section
and Agency Trail Contract list.
2) Proposed subcontractor selection plan
ACE retains a diverse and skilled staff with the abilities to perform all project tasks highlighted in
this RFQ. Prior experience implementing successful projects similar to those outlined in this
RFQ have allowed ACE the foresight to ensure that ACE has developed all skills required to
complete all trail and fencing tasks requested by project owners. These skills are taught to field
crews by professionals in the field with decades of combined experience successfully managing
and completing projects. Twelve years of implementing project of this nature have provided the
data needed to identify which skills are required to retain within the ACE staff support structure,
and value engineer each project to provide the best value to project owners. Project success is
determined by a skilled and motivated work force, including field crews, supervisors and support
staff. A diversity of projects throughout a range of land management agencies have provided
ACE with detailed knowledge of industry standards, production rates, and necessary skills to
complete these projects. ACE does not anticipate, nor intend to utilize any subcontractors for
any of the tasks outlined in the scope of work.
4) Project Management Plan
ACE serves as both a youth development organization and as a full service contractor capable
of designing and implementing large scale, technically complex trails, fencing, and restoration
projects. ACE' organizational structure is designed to provide multiple layers of professional
support to maximize safety, efficiency, and productivity of a large young adult labor force. With
national headquarters in Flagstaff, ACE's full staff of trails designers, trainers, project managers,
and logistical support personnel is locally available to facilitate all aspects of project
management.
The team approach to planning and implementing projects is a crucial aspect of ACE and the
hundreds of partnerships we maintain with federal, state, and local land managers. ACE's
project management plan is developed and adapted through regular communication and
solicited feedback from the project Owner. Only through a team approach can projects be
planned and implemented successfully. We have developed enduring relationships with our
project sponsors/owners and through positive communication maintain these relationships over

time. Combining our consistent quality work output with successful communication allows to
maintain positive relationships with all of our project sponsors.
While site specific approaches vary from project to project, the fundamental structure of ACE's
management plan follows a specific sequence of steps:
A) ACE conducts site visits to project areas before every project. These site visits are
coordinated with the project owner and can be conducted by ACE exclusively or as a team. Site
visits are conducted to gather a variety of information used to prepare cost estimates including;
length of trail or fence to be maintained/constructed, cross slope of hillsides, number, type and
frequency of structures to be constructed on the trail or fence line, availability of local material
for structures, access points, drive times from major roads and from Flagstaff, camping and
water locations for crews and intended work accomplishments for each project. This
information is used to develop a detailed cost estimate for each project using industry leading
cost estimating software to determine the maximum price for the project. Twelve years of
gathering internal production rate data allows us to combine our known capabilities with the
estimating software to produce an accurate estimate to the project owner and ensure the
greatest value to our project sponsor.
Constructability and system reviews occur upon the return to our central office in Flagstaff.
Informed by field observations, ACE's project management team gathers to present and discuss
project logistics, tools and materials required, and to assign the correct field personnel with the
appropriate skills for the project. Reviews include a value engineered approach to each project
to ensure that all project tasks are considered while not charging for additional resources,
including labor hours and specialized tools. These reviews are compared with cost estimating
figures and internal production rate data to propose a project estimate that benefits both ACE
and the project owner.
Each trail or fencing project ACE undertakes is assigned a project manager that acts as the
direct line of contact with the project owner, design professional, and any sub-contractors
involved. Communication begins during the request for services and continues through the
design and implementation phase. The ACE project manager communicates directly with the
project owner over a range of topics, including progress of the project planning, implementation
dates, project progress and schedules. ACE's project manager is available and knowledgeable
of the project to ensure that the project owner remains up to speed on all important aspects of
the project.
Once the guaranteed maximum price is determined by ACE staff, a detailed budget is provided
to the project sponsor including costs for labor, specialized equipment, travel and overhead.
This budget is viewed by the project owner for review and comment. If negotiations are deemed
necessary, ACE will willingly participate to guarantee that the price is mutually satisfactory.
ACE guarantees all work to be completed within project schedules and budgets. ACE will invest
additional resources if required to ensure successful completion of every project.
B) ACE retains skilled and experienced staff in all aspects of trail and fence work, including trail
design, pipe rail fence construction and welding. ACE staff members are qualified in designing
and implementing all aspects of these projects and has the capacity and capability to perform all
necessary duties.

C) Upon approval from project owner for project critical path schedules and approved budgets,
the ACE project manager coordinates with field personnel, office staff and project owner to
implement the project as designed. ACE project managers are experienced with production
rates, quality standards and perform routine assessments of upcoming project tasks to ensure
that all schedules are being met. Critical path scheduling included in the contract are strictly
adhered to, with additional resources deployed if required to achieve approved schedules. ACE
field staff continue our team based approach throughout all aspects of managing field
resources, submitting updates, data and budget updates to the project owner. Project
outcomes and data are submitted to the project owner on a bi-monthly basis throughout the life
of the project, from the request for services through to the final project report. This ensures that
the project owner remains knowledgeable of milestone achievements, progress and measurable
accomplishments during and after each project. Critical paths and subsequent project
schedules are developed and maintained by ACE staff and enforced by the project manager.
The project manager will continually monitor project elements and crew accomplishments to be
able to communicate developments to necessary support staff and the project owner. Project
managers have the authority to devote more resources to each project to ensure project
schedules are maintained. Materials required for projects are acquired from local sources. Trail
projects can utilize locally harvested material such as stone for structures and are located and
documented during the cost estimating process, where appropriate. ACE retains the skills and
equipment required to harvest these materials, including hand tools, rigging equipment and rock
transport equipment. Materials that cannot be harvested will be purchased from local
businesses in Maricopa County to benefit the local economy and ensure the fastest possible
delivery to the project. Fencing materials can be sourced from local businesses to ensure that
ACE and the project owner receive the best value, and quality, according to owner
specifications. ACE owns equipment to transport all necessary materials for trail and fence
projects, including transport trucks, trailers, a UTV, two tracked power carriers and rigging
equipment.
5) Budget and Scope Management Capability
ACE designs budgets according to industry standard specifications, combined with the
experience of twelve years of running crews and the consequent understanding of crews'
capabilities and work production schedules. Except in the unusual circumstance of an extreme
change in the scope of a previously designed project, all ACE budgets are guaranteed. ACE
will not request a negotiation of, or an addendum to a budget that has been approved after work
has begun. As an organization, ACE will provide realistic cost estimates to project owners and
completes projects on time and on budget. Ongoing communication with project owners
ensures that all work meets agency expectations, and that owners are aware of any unexpected
developments. On rare previous occasions when ACE has underestimated the cost of a
project, ACE has completed the agreed upon work at no additional cost to the project owner,
deploying extra crews and personnel drawn from our Flagstaff headquarters or other ACE
branches. In the very rare occurrence that uncontrollable factors have drastically changed the
scope of work, such as an extreme weather event causing massive erosion at a project site,
ACE has communicated with the project owner in order to reassess the previous plan and reach
a mutually agreeable solution in the face of the changed circumstances.
6) Team Approach Capability

ACE has a 12-year history of successful collaboration with project owners and other
stakeholders on projects across the Southwest USA and nationwide. ACE is equally effective
and experienced when designing and constructing a trail, or working to another entity's design
specifications. In all instances, ACE staff have communicated with all stakeholders involved to
ensure that all needs and expectations are met or exceeded. ACE has a longstanding
relationship with the Arizona Trail Association (ATA) and has conducted construction and
maintenance projects throughout the 800 miles of trail. ACE's partnerships with ATA has
involved liaising with a variety of land managers, volunteer groups, local communities and ATA
staff to construct trail segments and reroutes, maintain trail in remote locations, and assist with
the education and training of ATA trail volunteers.
7) Expedited Completion of Project
ACE fields up to 18 trails, fencing, and restoration crews concurrently in our Arizona branch.
Such capacity allows the organization a unique level of flexibility in assigning crews to ensure
that projects are completed on, or ahead of, schedule. ACE project managers are in constant
communication with administrative staff to ensure that future planning can adapt to changing
circumstances where necessary. While ACE schedules crews up to a full year in advance of
project commencement, ACE also understands that certain instances require a rapid response
to deal with unexpected events and mitigate damage, or conduct emergency repairs on fence or
trails damaged by numerous factors. Over the course of ACE's history, the organization and
our staff have developed strong relationships with land managers across the state of Arizona,
who understand the need to divert previously assigned teams to deal with emergency
assignments for other agencies. ACE's successful history of completing Burned Area
Emergency Response (BAER) work in the aftermath of wildfires is indicative of our ability to
rapidly assess and conduct work to minimize damage to fragile areas in the event of heavy
precipitation and anticipated erosion.
The previously highlighted projects in Section 1 of this RFQ are all examples of ACE utilizing a
flexible approach in ensuring that the required work was completed on time. In particular, the
work on the Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park, was a large undertaking that
required multiple crews working concurrently, under the oversight of a project foreman. At the
end of each working week, the foreman would meet with project managers and directors to
discuss work completed and plan on how many crews would be most effective for the
subsequent, and future working weeks. This allowed us to increase the number of individuals
on the team when the trail could be constructed quickly over easier terrain, or reduce the
number of crews during phases of dry-stone masonry, which necessitated less people, due to
limited working space and tasks. The planned reduction in the size of a crew also proved a
benefit in the above mentioned Little Bear Trail Rehabilitation. In the face of potential delays
due to adverse weather conditions, ACE deployed a large crew to complete much of the more
basic work initially whilst conditions were optimal, then reduced the size of a crew to complete
wood and rock structure work that was not as subject to delay by precipitation events.
Conversely, the Almosta Trail development required multiple, large crews operating both
independently, and alongside a mechanical trail dozer to complete large amounts of new trail in
an efficient fashion. This project required oversite to ensure reallocation of resources to areas
where the dozer could not safely be utilized, or additional people to complete finishing work in
the aftermath of the dozer carving out the initial trail bench.
