Comments specific to this proposal:

In this Imnaha proposal, five miles of road are going to be decommissioned each year for a total price tag of $154,649. This seems unrealistically low, particularly since maintaining existing roads at 1.0 mile per year costs $225,000. Is cost estimate based on experience or recent bids?
