- Description
- In January, 2003, the Department of the Interior entered into Settlement Agreements which included conducting 5-year reviews of the status of the marbled murrelet by April 30, 2004. A 5-year review is required by Section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to ensure that a species' listing classification as either threatened or endangered is accurate. The review for this species will assess: (a) whether new information, or analyses of information existing at the time of listing, suggests the species' population is increasing, declining, or stable; (b) whether existing threats are increasing, the same, reduced, or eliminated; and, (c) if any new threats have arisen. The review will consider information such as: population and demographic trend data; studies of dispersal and habitat use; genetics and species competition investigations; and surveys of habitat amount, quality, and distribution. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is seeking the assistance of a Contractor to organize and facilitate teams of external experts to evaluate, synthesize, and interpret the best available information for the use by the FWS in this review. Adherence to a compressed timeline is required as the contract deadline is February 15, 2004. The Contractor will assemble a the team. The team members must be recognized experts in their field, chosen for their knowledge of the species, its ecosystem, current or emerging threats, or knowledge of one or more related disciplines, such as genetics or demographic analysis. The final product provided by the Contractor will be a report that provides an objective evaluation of the available scientific information. The Contractor will also be required to design and implement, after agreement with FWS, a process to peer-review the reports. Solicitation package is due to issue approximately July 25, 2003. This date is an estimate. Proposals will be due 30 days after actual issue date. Proposals will be evaluated using best value/past performance criteria.
