The Department of State Lands (DSL) received $460,000 in state funding as part of the $175 million Go Oregon! economic stimulus bill signed by Gov. Ted Kulongoski in February 2009.
The agency’s projects include juniper and fence removal on southeastern Oregon rangelands ($60,000); a boundary survey in the Portland Harbor ($200,000); and air conditioning upgrades for the State Lands headquarters building in Salem ($200,000). Two of the four juniper removal projects are completed, as is the fence removal project. The removal and air conditioning projects have been completed; the boundary survey should be completed by June 2010.
Contractors for all projects were selected through the public bid process.
More information about Go Oregon! bid procedures may be found on the state’s procurement Web site: http://www.oregon.gov/recovery/GoOregon.shtml.
DSL is working with other natural resource agencies and the Oregon Department of Transportation to expedite removal-fill permits for projects funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
