Elko County to go to bid on Hilltop Drive hitching‑post and gravel parking for Lemoyne Summit Trail
Summary
Natural resources staff said grants (Nevada Department of Outdoor Recreation) and outside donations cover the project; commissioners authorized issuing a bid notice for a gravel parking and equestrian hitching‑post staging area and selected an option that avoids triggering a public‑works procurement threshold.
Curtis (Natural Resources staff) asked the commission to authorize a bid notice to build an equestrian hitching post and gravel parking on Hilltop Drive to support the Lemoyne Summit Trail System. The project has NEPA clearance and is funded by a Nevada Department of Outdoor Recreation grant with match funds from donations.
Curtis outlined two options; commissioners chose a plan that places steel hitching posts, a gravel subgrade and four inches of base to meet grant and budget needs and avoid triggering a public‑works procurement, though Davis‑Bacon wage rules still apply because of federal funding.
The commission voted to authorize staff to go out to bid and pursue the selected option. Staff said they will issue bids and return with results for award consideration.
