RECOVERY--Y--Summer Lake Waterfowl Habitat

The contract modification under W9127N-09-C-0003, awarded to Just Bucket Excavating and managed by the Portland District Corps of Engineers, involves the construction of a 0.5-acre island at Gold Dike Lake, along with repairs to existing access roads and the establishment of a temporary haul road at the Summer Lake Wildlife Area in south-central Oregon. Funded through the Recovery Act, this modification increases the original contract value by $959,577.05. Key additions include mobilization and demobilization costs totaling $158,766.69, placement of 5,900 yards of fill and slope protection for the island at $28.40 per yard, and the provision of coarse sand and gravel increased by $37,458.36. Furthermore, the contract expands scope by adding a temporary haul road requiring 2,000 yards at $54.16 per yard, additional access road construction involving 10,000 yards at $37.61 per yard, and repairs to the Dutchy Island area totaling $111,372.00. These additions reflect a comprehensive effort to enhance waterfowl habitat infrastructure and access in this environmentally sensitive wildlife area.
