Crab Lake WRP Restoration Project

Added: Jun 15, 2010 6:51 pm USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service is announcing a restoration project under the Crab Lake Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) located one mile east of Wilson Creek in Grant County, Washington. This project consists of providing all supplies, materials; equipment, labor, and incidentals needed to excavate approximately 153,700 cubic yards of soil to construct eight (8) excavated ponds with low mounds on 5 privately owned (government easement) properties within the Crab Lake basin, The ponds will be constructed adjacent to the main channel to provide open water for migratory birds to use for a longer period of time during the spring and early summer. The ponds are designed to stay wet longer than the existing channel and provide resting sites on the mounds. This improved habitat is designed to provide more deep open water and diversity in the basin. The performance period for this project is approximately 45 calendar days notice to proceed.

A solicitation for this project will be available at http//www.fedbizopps.gov on or about June 30, 2010. Site showing information will be shown in the solicitation. Requests for hardcopy solicitation must be in writing addressed to ronald.joyner@wa.usda.gov or faxed to (509) 323-2909.

Estimated price range: between $250,000 and $500,000.
