County awards Humboldt Ruby's Trail feasibility study to Diversified Consulting using federal grant funds
Summary
Elko County awarded a feasibility‑study contract for the Humboldt Ruby's Trail to Diversified Consulting Services; the project is primarily funded by a Transportation Alternatives grant of $237,000 plus a $12,000 match from donations.
Elko County awarded a feasibility study for the Humboldt Ruby's Trail to Diversified Consulting Services after staff recommended the firm based on a responsive RFP submission.
Natural‑resources staff said the project is funded primarily through a Transportation Alternatives grant applied for in 2023: the grant amount is $237,000 and a $12,000 local match will come from outside donations. The study is intended to identify phased segments from Carlin to Lamoille Canyon, connecting existing Spring Creek trail segments and prioritizing segments for construction as future funding becomes available. "The grant itself is $237,000, and then the $12,000 match is coming from outside donations," staff said.
A motion to award a feasibility‑study contract to Diversified Consulting Services passed by voice vote and staff thanked the consultant representative for attending to answer questions; the board noted that construction of trail segments will depend on future funding and planning steps.
