Opportunity Summary:
The Hagerman NWR Moist Soil Unit Rehab grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperative agreement focused on restoring and improving moist soil wetland units at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge's current wetland conditions are not meeting management goals, especially the ability to provide shallow seasonal flooding that supports migratory and wintering birds. The purpose of the project is to bring these wetlands back into functional condition so they can once again deliver the habitat values the refuge is managed for, particularly in terms of water management, vegetation response, and bird use.
The scope of work is practical and construction-oriented, starting with documenting existing site conditions and ending with completed on-the-ground rehabilitation. The awardee is expected to capture and document detailed site topography and existing wetland features, including elevation data and the minimum requirements needed to reconstruct levees. This initial documentation also has to support the design of a pump and water distribution system, including identifying installation locations for pumps and distribution lines. After the site assessment and data collection, the awardee must develop and deliver construction plans that are suitable for implementation and result in a set of stamped design drawings, meaning engineered plans that meet professional design and permitting expectations.
Beyond planning and design, the awardee must provide construction assistance and oversight for major field actions. That includes dike (levee) reconstruction, installing water control structures and associated culverts, and performing land preparation work such as root plowing and laser leveling. These activities are meant to reestablish proper water control, improve unit-grade conditions for uniform shallow flooding, and help the moist soil units respond appropriately to management actions. In addition, the project requires the purchase and installation of a pump and water distribution lines to ensure water can be delivered and managed as needed across the wetland units.
The contractor or partner is responsible not only for the technical tasks but also for the full implementation support that makes the project turnkey. That includes securing any supplies and materials required, conducting construction and restoration inspection and oversight during implementation, and completing final construction checkout and closeout activities so the refuge can operate and maintain the rehabilitated system effectively after completion.
From an administrative standpoint, this funding was posted in late July 2009 under Funding Opportunity Number 21580 HR 09 001, categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument under the Natural Resources activity category. The total estimated funding is $75,000, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and no stated minimum award amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. Only one award was expected.
Eligibility is not broadly competitive in this case. The notice specifies a single-source award to Ducks Unlimited, Southern Regional Office, justified under Department of the Interior single-source criteria (referenced as 505 DM 2, Section 2.14). The CFDA listing connected to the opportunity is 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Pamela Ellis, Administrative Technician, at 903-786-2826 or gayleellis@fws.gov.
