Board authorizes RFP for Rugg Pond design; DNR and EGLE grants cited to fund project
Summary
Commissioners approved an RFP/RFQ for design engineering services for Rugg Pond. Project partners said a DNR Fisheries Habitat Grant will provide $200,000 and the EGLE Great Lakes Fishery Trust could supply $1 million toward design and construction; the start date was discussed as July 1, 2025.
On a motion by Commissioner David Comai the board authorized advertising an RFP/RFQ for design engineering services to advance the Rugg Pond project. Project staff, including a project manager from the Conservation Resource Alliance, described two potential grants: a DNR Fisheries Habitat Grant for $200,000 to kick off design work and a possible $1 million award from the EGLE Great Lakes Fishery Trust for design and construction.
Project representatives noted that the $1 million EGLE award was not yet finalized and the projected start date discussed was 7/1/2025. The board carried the motion unanimously and asked staff to proceed with advertisement for design services and to return with updates as grant awards are finalized.
