RFB-UC17-142C - U & D RAILROAD REHABILITATION

Ulster County is soliciting sealed bids for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of three (3) damaged segments of the County-owned Ulster & Delaware Railroad (“U&D”) Corridor located in the Towns of Shandaken and Olive along and northwest of Cold Brook Road.  Two of the segments were damaged by flooding from the nearby Esopus Creek while the third was heavily eroded through prolonged lack of maintenance to the drainage facilities. The reconstruction of these three segments is needed to restore the underlying railroad embankment, drainage facilities, and track infrastructure so that these areas can be used for future tourism railroad operations.
