Bike Trail

RANDOLPH, Utah.  September 5, 2018.  Tyler Stuart, Cook Sanders Associate, County Engineers, updated Commissioners on the Bike Trail.  He asked if the County would be willing to donate the sub-grade toward the project then they can bid out road base and asphalt.  If they did, it will be $460,000 to take the bike trail from Ideal Beach Resort to Epic Recreation.  This must be completed this year if the County wants to get the $200,000 in State Lands money.  The sub-grade can be the match and with that money they will be able to get to the lake side which will free up the State Lands money.   Cox said they could haul the gravel if the gravel was paid for.

If construction doesn't disturb more than ½ acre of land with the trail, they don’t have to comply to the more rigorous standards of Army Corps of Engineers. They need two land owners to agree to the bike path turning the corner past Epic Recreation because there is some complicated engineering needed for that next 350 feet. 

They would like to start cutting the trail in mid-October and then put asphalt and base next spring.  They will use 2400 yards of road base to Epic and 8,000 yards if they go around the bend.
