(2) convey to the state a site of a size satisfactory to the deputy commissioner at a place mutually satisfactory to both parties, and erect on it a fish hatchery, rearing ponds, necessary buildings, and other facilities according to plans and specifications furnished by the commissioner of fish and game, and give a good and sufficient bond to furnish water, lights, and necessary money to operate and maintain the hatchery and rearing ponds; or
