- Description
- Contractors should take note because this work is being (partially/fully) funded by the America Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). There are special requirements and clauses associated with this act and they will be located in section 00800 of the solicitation. The most up today information on ARRA requirements can be found at: http://www.recovery.gov/ Contractors are encouraged to review the OMB guidance for specific reporting requirements associated with receiving funds made available under ARRA. Project Description The project entails construction of 1, 3/4 acre floating island in Sheepy Lake, a permanent body of water located within within Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The island shall be anchored near the center of the southern lobe of Sheepy Lake (Figure 1). Sheepy Lake has an average surface elevation of approximately 4079 feet and is approximately 430 acres in size. The proposed island shall float on the lake's surface and be made of recycled material consisting of polypropylene (from recycled carpet) and polyester (from recycled drinking bottles). Layers of the matrix shall be bonded together with foam. The plastic material shall be stabilized with latex for enhanced UV protection. The island shall be covered by a mixture of small gravel/coarse sand and pumice in order to provide suitable nesting habitat for Caspian terns. a. Lower Klamath NWR is managed within the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges Complex, approximately 140 miles inland from the west coast of California. Lower Klamath NWR is in northeastern California (Siskiyou County) and southern Oregon (Klamath County). The 50,092-acre refuge is a varied mix of intensively managed shallow marshes, open water, grassy uplands, and croplands that provide feeding, resting, nesting, and brood-rearing habitat for waterfowl and other water birds. Lower Klamath NWR receives water via a tunnel from sumps within Tule Lake NWR. Most of the water that is received is used at the wetland units. Any leftover water would flow into the Klamath Straits drain, which leads to the Klamath River. Sheepy Lake of Lower Klamath NWR may also receive water as part of the distribution throughout the refuge but also is fed by tributaries Sheepy Creek and Cottonwood Creek.
