This project requires blasting services for work on Treasury Mountain in the Ragged Wilderness on the White River NF located in Western Colorado. A concrete pad and 7-8 foundation columns require blasting to reduce the overall size to allow for future hand removal. All blasting must be completed by surface charges as drilling is prohibited in Wilderness areas. Experience: Offerors SHALL have experience surface blasting in a wilderness environment. Location: This project site is located in the Ragged Wilderness in Township 12 South, Ranger 87 West, Section 21 in Gunnison County. From the Paradise Basin trailhead, you will need to hike approximately 2.5 miles. The footpath is loose, unconsolidated rock, along a hillside.
