Description

Auto-translated from German

Realization of several mountain bike trails, most of which are to be newly built. Some short sections lead over existing paths/farm tracks in coexistence with other forms of use, partly with hiking or partly with agriculture. On these, bike-specific maintenance measures (especially sustainable water drainage, securing the path surface) must be implemented. The routes lead from the Horneggli and Hornberg mountain stations down to Schönried (Horneggli valley station). The goal is to create attractive and needs-oriented trails that are built safely & as sustainably as possible, guide bikers, and enable optimal riding fun through "state-of-the-art" trail design. Infrastructure types are: Lot 1) A naturalistic mountain bike trail (flow/style trail) of easy difficulty (blue), average trail width: 1.25m Lot 2) Two naturalistic mountain bike trails (1 x tech trail and 1x tech-/style trail), both of medium difficulty (red), average trail width: 1.1m. Structures planned are: The trail itself, various artificial structures for water crossings, wooden boardwalks, various chicanes for speed reduction, stone reinforcements for sustainable securing of the path surface, optional side trail features (play/progression elements). In addition, replacement measures are required, which are currently still being clarified & planned. These will possibly be awarded to the supplier(s) at a later date. For these, only the direct cost rates from the suppliers will be requested. All further information and technical details can be found in the enclosed documents (excerpt from technical report and plan attachments).
