The Arizona Game and Fish Department has awarded Contract No. L25-09300337 to prime contractor Daniel Bennett for a Cooperative Stewardship Agreement focused on habitat improvement in the Coconino National Forest's Game Management Unit 6A. The project involves sediment removal and cleaning of five dirt tanks (Pambo, Sob, Mescal, Cimarron, and Myrtle Tanks) to restore their original depth and dimensions, with the objective of providing perennial water sources for cattle and wildlife including elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and various small and non-game species.

The contract, valued at up to $15,000, will reimburse Bennett for labor, equipment, and material costs associated with the habitat improvement project. The performance period spans from the award date of November 4, 2025, to the completion date of October 6, 2030, with project work to be completed by June 11, 2026. Bennett will utilize existing roads and trails for access, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department will conduct annual monitoring and evaluation of the project's effectiveness. Payment will be issued upon submission of itemized invoices, contingent upon obtaining proper compliance documentation from the Coconino National Forest prior to commencing work.
