Eagle Creek Stream Repair and cleanup H2O Grant Project

The Eagle Creek Stream Repair and Cleanup H2O Grant Project is a solicitation issued by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources District 5 Wildlife Management for stream crossing cleanup and repair, along with the removal of tires and trailers. This project falls under farming, fishing, forestry, and wildlife contracting services and is funded through the H2O Ohio Grant. Interested parties are encouraged to schedule a site visit by contacting Randy Morgan, though such visits are recommended rather than required. The solicitation process is managed through the OhioBuys system, with a response deadline set for September 3, 2026. The contractual relationship is governed by a comprehensive services agreement and several mandatory legal addendums. Contractors must adhere to strict state regulations, including compliance with Ohio ethics and election laws, drug-free workplace requirements, and equal employment opportunity standards. Key administrative requirements include the completion of an OPERS Independent Contractor Acknowledgment Form and an Affirmation and Disclosure Form regarding offshore services and data locations. The agreement outlines specific terms for compensation, invoice submission, and non-appropriation clauses, while also mandating compliance with executive orders concerning the use of MBE and EDGE vendors and restrictions on services provided by Russian entities.
