- Description
- Required documentation for return to USFS. Also contains contract specifics to include evaluation methods, contract administration, deliverables, and contract clauses. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation in Request for Proposal (RFP) for project management professional services to update the United States Forest Service (USFS) Corridor Management Plan (CMP) and Interpretive Management Plan (IMP) for the Top of the Rockies National Scenic and Historic Byway (TOR). This project is a coordinated effort between the Top of the Rockies National Scenic and Historic Byway Steering Committee, (TOR Steering Committee) and the US Forest Service (USFS). This effort will serve to integrate the recently designated, 40-mile segment from Twin Lakes, over Independence Pass, to Aspen, Colorado. Utilizing and updating existing plans will provide guidance for enhancing intrinsic qualities, coordinating the design and installment of facilities, and providing quality interpretation at all TOR sites and, in particular, at Independence Pass and Independence National Historic Town site. Updating the CMP and IMP will unify the entire length of TOR corridor including the extension from Twin Lakes, CO to Aspen, CO. A site master plan will be developed, using updated CMP and IMP guidance and design criteria, for the highly visited Independence Pass and associated sites to enhance visitor experiences and address safety concerns. The US Forest Service will own all completed plans, maps, renderings, photographs, images and data developed during the course of this project, unless specifically negotiated otherwise during the life of the contract. Should you have any technical questions regarding this RFP, please contact Cheryl Hazlitt, Contract Officer Representative (970-295-6660) or Lori Crystal (PSICC) and Martha Moran (WRNF), Project Managers (719) 553-1436.
