Scope & Requirements
This project involves the reconstruction of the Northern Hills Ranger District parking lot to address structural, grade, and drainage issues.

- Reconstruction of the parking lot with proper base materials
- Regrading of the site and addition of drainage
- Addition of sidewalks and designated walking areas
