REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
Wellsville Canyon Regional Recreation Study & Plan
Cache County, along with Wellsville City, recently purchased 470 acres in Wellsville Canyon along Highway 89/91 to be held in a conservation easement and be developed into a recreation area so our residents can enjoy this preserved land. To ensure these uses are compatible with the conservation goals, and meet the needs of the partner agencies, neighbors, and the public we will need a regional recreation plan. We are seeking technical support to study the property and the region of our county it sits in, and to develop the plan for the site. We would like to invite qualified firms to submit a proposal for this exciting planning project. Included is our official request for proposals as well as a map of the site and the conceptual budget Cache County developed for the grant proposal. We hope you will review this request and look forward to considering your approach to the project.
Submissions due: 12 January 2026 at 5:00 PM to landis.wenger@cachecounty.gov
Cache County is working with Wellsville City and Hyrum City to develop a recreational trail along Highway 101 connecting both cities sidewalk networks.

We invite you to submit a scope and proposal for this study. Included in the official request for proposals is a link to UDOT's Trail Design Guide. We look forward to considering your approach to the project.
