Opportunity Summary:
The Sequoyah NWR Water Control Structure Replacement Project is a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity focused on restoring and improving wetland management infrastructure at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge near Vian, Oklahoma. The core purpose is to provide the surveying and engineering needed to replace 27 aging, deteriorated water control structures that are no longer in good condition and are limiting the refuge's ability to properly manage water levels across existing wetland units. By replacing these structures, the refuge aims to regain reliable control of wetland hydrology, which is central to maintaining habitat conditions and supporting broader natural resource goals tied to the National Wildlife Refuge System.
The project scope is heavily engineering-driven and is structured to move from field data collection to engineered design and then into procurement and construction-phase support. The selected partner is expected to document site conditions and produce bid-ready plans rather than simply offering conceptual guidance. A key deliverable is a set of stamped (sealed) engineering design drawings suitable for inclusion in a formal bid package. These drawings must reflect current topographic elevations and include detailed, typical water control structure design elements so the refuge can confidently purchase and install the replacement structures in accordance with professional standards and Service expectations.
Work is divided into three defined tasks. Task 1 covers fieldwork and preliminary engineering: documenting site topography and existing features associated with the current water control structures, then producing suitable construction plans along with a preliminary design and cost estimate to guide decision-making and ensure the project can meet its objective within budget and logistical constraints. Task 2 advances the effort into final design and procurement planning: delivering a final set of sealed engineering plans suitable for purchase and installation, soliciting bids for the needed water control structure materials, reviewing the bids received, and forwarding bid information to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) staff for approval. Task 3 shifts into implementation support: purchasing the water control structure materials and providing construction inspection during installation, helping ensure the work is built according to the approved plans and that any issues encountered in the field are handled with appropriate engineering oversight.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at an estimated total of $167,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $167,000, and the agency anticipates making one award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). A wide range of applicant types are listed as eligible, including state and local governments (county, city/township, special district), nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses.
The announcement was posted February 24, 2011, created February 28, 2011, and had an application closing date of March 3, 2011, with the listing archived April 2, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NWRS R2 21640 FY11 01, and the sponsoring agency is listed as Region 2. For assistance accessing the full announcement or for additional details, the point of contact provided is Renee Robichaud, Assistant Refuge Supervisor, at 505-248-6480 or reneerobichaud@fws.gov.
