## What the grant funds

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is looking to award one cooperative agreement for engineering, survey, design, and construction management services of the long pond. The long pond is located on the former Germania golf course which is now part of the Refuge. The long pond is a former irrigation pond located near the Tittabawassee River and in it's current condition has steep vertical walls and provides little to no habitat value and poses a safety concern for visitors to the Refuge. The Service seeks to award this cooperative agreement to an entity that can survey they existing pond, develop a restoration design in collaboration with the Service which will connect the long pond to the Tittabawassee River and soften the existing vertical banks of the long pond. Preliminary estimates show that this may require relocating up to 20,000 cubic yards of earth. This site is located within the floodplain of the Tittabawasee River and the design will require direction and oversight from the Service to ensure that the design complies with all State and Federal wetland/floodplain/clean water act permits. The Service has already held pre-appplication meetings with local, State, and Federal regulators to ensure this project is permitable and complient with existing laws. The awardee will provide a complete set of design plans that will be used by the Service to apply for local, State, and Federal permits. Furthermore, this project will involve removal of several miles of asphalt golf cart paths that run throughout the entire former golf course. Once all permits have been issued the awardee will provide construction management to complete the project. Construction management services will include: Development of a federal procurement compliant bid package and solicitation of bids from sub-contractors to complete the work of the long pond and removal of cart paths. Provide construction management, oversight, and on-site inspections of all aspects of construction to ensure all aspects of the project are built to design specifications. Ensure all contractors wash and clean equipment prior to entering Refuge (as outlined in the design plans) to prevent invasive species spread. Ensure all fuel stored on the Refuge by sub-contractors is compliant with the Service policy for fuel storage and containment.
