Questa to Red River Trail Project: Bridge Nos. 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11

The Enchanted Circle Trails Association is seeking budgetary cost estimates and preliminary recommendations from qualified firms for five steel trail bridges along the Questa to Red River Trail corridor between La Bobita Campground and the Town of Red River.

This Request for Information is intended to help ECTA and project partners better understand probable costs, design and fabrication options, installation methods, lead times, mobilization, project phasing, and future procurement needs for Bridge Nos. 7–11.

The Questa to Red River Trail is an approved multi-use trail corridor that will connect Eagle Rock Lake near Questa with the western edge of the Town of Red River along the New Mexico State Road 38 corridor. The project will provide an off-highway recreation and transportation connection between the two communities while improving access to Carson National Forest lands, recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and public lands.

All bridge structures must be steel and must comply with applicable Build America, Buy America Act and Buy America requirements.

This RFI is for planning and budgeting purposes only. It is not a formal solicitation or request for binding bids and does not obligate ECTA or any project partner to proceed with the work.

Responses are due Friday, October 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MT. Responses should be no more than 8 pages and consolidated into one PDF.

Please submit responses and questions to Jennifer Manhoff at jmanhoff@enchantedcircletrails.org.
