TMTC EDRA - WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING
Who is TMTC
TMTC is the leading "grass roots authority" for establishing and managing off-road parks for
motorized usage in Texas for All Terrain Vehicles, Motorcycles, Trail Bikes and Full Size 4x4
Trucks and Jeeps. http://www.texasmotorizedtrails.com/
Acquired in 2007, this Texas Motorized Trails Coalition property Escondido Draw Recreation
Area (EDRA) offers motorcycle, ATV, and OHV enthusiasts 3,400 acres to ride in. It is located in
western Crockett County, approximately 30 miles southwest of Ozona off of CR406. The park
facilities and trail systems were designed and constructed specifically for motorized off-road
purposes. The park has 35+ mile single track trail for dirt bikes and 23+ miles of scenic trails
and challenging hills for ATVs and OHVs. TMTC volunteers built the recreational trail system.
When the property is completely developed, it will provide overnight camping/RV and a wide
range of motorized trails supporting all levels of challenges. Under construction are numerous
property improvements which include a RV Park with potable water, sewer, and 50 Amp
electrical service; office, showers, restrooms, and a pavilion. http://www.escondidodraw.org/
TMTC values our community and business partnerships. Economic development is important to
our partnerships. This property is highly supported by the local Ozona Chamber of Commerce
and appreciates the business brought into the community by TMTC.

Scope of Work
Bids are invited for work to construct a Water Treatment Plant and Maintenance Building at
EDRA. See items C and D in the EDRA Park Layout on page 1.
All construction must be built with “sustainability” in mind. It must be simple, functional, and
most of all low cost to maintain. Your bid can propose enhancements to the current design if it
promotes sustainability and lowers costs.
The project has 2 parts – a 30 ‘x 50’ building and the water treatment plant housed a section of
the building. Both parts can be bid either combined or separately based on the bidders
capabilities and experience.
