A Request for Proposals (RFP) is now open for design and engineering plans covering the Great Sauk State Trail extension at Devil's Lake State Park and the Baraboo Spur. Qualified consultants have been invited to submit proposals, and nine consultants have indicated an expression of interest, which is an amazing response! Once the proposals are received, the Wisconsin DNR, City of Baraboo, and Sauk County will jointly evaluate and score the submissions to select the best consulting partner for the project. In the photo, John Celly, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director for the City of Baraboo, speaks to potential consultants on a tour of the Baraboo Spur portion of the project.
