Award of a $78,643 contract for development and rehabilitation of approximately 500 acres on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation on the Nevada-Idaho boundary was announced today by the Department of the Interior.
The contractor will level the land and construct canals, laterals, and water control structures for irrigation purposes.
This is part of an over-all program to develop available resources on the Duck Valley Reservation for use by Indian families. These improvements will assist in stabilizing the livestock program in this isolated community where it is necessary to feed approximately five months during the winter season.
Kimberly Construction Company of Kimberly, Idaho, was awarded the contract. Six higher bids ranging from $79,440 to $97,320 were received.
