Paint Mines Interpretive Park Restoration Project

To provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for Paint Mines Restoration (Project). The Project generally includes the resurfacing of 8-foot wide crushed limestone trail with shoulders, installation of drainage culverts, construction of associated trail drainage structures, and a new parking area within Paint Mines Interpretive Park. The Paint Mines Interpretive Park is in the northeast section of the County near Calhan with approximately 750 acres. The address is located at 29950 Paint Mines Road, Calhan, CO 80808.The park features geological formations including spires and hoodoos that form through erosive action that creates incised gullies and colorful exposed layers of rock. The park includes a restroom facility, four (4) miles of trails, interpretive signage, and three (3) parking areas. 1.Tier I (8 ft wide) Trail Resurfacing: Resurface 14,600 LF of existing trail which includes placement and compaction of 4” crushed limestone surfacing over existing base course. 2.Tier I (8 ft wide) New Trail Construction: Construct 1,500 LF of new trail which includes placement and compaction of 4” crushed limestone over 2” road base. 3.Trail Culverts: Installation of twelve (12) CMP culverts, 15’ long each along the existing trail. Excavation and placement of pipe; installation of geotextile, riprap, and soil. 4. Expanded Parking Area: The main parking area of the park will be expanded to the east which will allow for twenty (20) additional vehicles. The parking area will require grading, 6” of class 6 aggregate, and boulders as an edge barrier. 5. Signage: Three (3) existing signs at the east parking area will be removed. Existing five (5) mile marker signs will be removed. Twenty-two (22) new wayfinding signs and posts will be installed. Ten (10) new route markers will be installed. 6. Trail Decommissioning: Scarify, seed, and erosion control blanket 1,200 LF of trail. Install 1,600 LF of post & dowel fencing 7. Erosion Control: Ditches will be graded in strategic locations along the existing trail to mitigate drainage and to prevent future erosion of the trail.
