Container Delivery and Haul Away for Demolition

Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge and Management Area

1. Introduction and Overview

Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge and Management Area (Refuge) was established in 1994 in Pike and Gibson Counties to conserve and manage habitat for waterfowl and other migratory birds, resident wildlife, and endangered and threatened species. Active habitat management of wetland, forest, and prairie habitats occur on the nearly 13,000 acres acquired to date. The refuge offers public hunting and fishing, wildlife viewing and photography, environmental education and interpretation. The Refuge is managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

The refuge headquarters is located in Oakland City, IN.

The work areas are located in Gibson County.

1.1 Background

The Refuge is removing old structures at two sites including a brick home (70’ x 40’) and metal pole building (25’ x 35’) at the Davis House site and a larger metal pole building (120’ x 40’) at the Raccoon Barn site and is requesting a contractor to deliver and haul off all demolished materials as described below. See Attachments A, B, C, and D for site locations/pictures.

1.2 Objective

The objective of this project is for USFWS staff to utilize heavy equipment to tear down all buildings, use a Bandit ARJES Impaktor to smash and consolidate materials (including separating metal from other debris) and to place into contractor provided 30-yard containers. The contractor will haul off to the landfill and recycle center all torn down materials from two sites.

Collected proceeds from recycling will go to the Friends of Patoka River NWR, LLC. Materials must be hauled to a disposal site that is state approved for handling these materials.

1.3 Period of Performance

December 7 - 18, 2026. Dates may be extended, as necessary, due to weather or availability of USFWS equipment and staff. The job will take an estimated 12 working days.
