004 - Grant Administrator Request for Proposal Gladwin County Infrastructure CDBG-DR

Gladwin County Emergency Management is seeking proposals for implementation of a proposed Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), Infrastructure Project, if funded by the state. The project for which funds will be requested consists of:
This project would provide the ability to access water supply for fire suppression throughout the county. Outside the cities of Gladwin and Beaverton all fire operations to respond and protect the community are dependent on tanker water supply. High water, low water (drawn down after a flood or severe drought), or a flood receding to normal levels leaving muddy access tankers cannot utilize makes responding to obtain a water supply difficult to impossible.
The 8 sites to install large diameter wells for firefighting operations are strategically placed on paved road with electric 1nfrastructure1- at their fire stations, township halls or other property. Generators for these wells are also proposed to ensure water access during power failures. They are also placed to allow for multiple access options when road loss occurs due to flooding.
                             Estimated Project Costs $1,500,000 (CDBG-DR)
