QUOTE: Originally posted by KipWheeler Rails and Trails (R&T), a group of interested citizens from the Roaring Fork Valley, offer the RFP. It should not be confused with the overly restrictive and misdirected RFP issued by the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) in February of 2005. The experience of the operator is being sought in setting the response parameters. The offering is being submitted to the benefiting communities, not RFTA. RFTA did receive a proposal, but it was for a partnership. Lacking an acceptable proposal it voted to scrap the rails and expressed it remains open to new proposals. We are continuing to work on all the approaches, but we need a proposal in hand from a legitimate service provider/operator to complete the process. Where else can we post this proposal to get the attention of excursion providers? Searching the inter net has lead us to a number of communities safely and beneficially sharing a right of way with rail and trail.
