- Description
- Badlands National Park intends to award a 2 year contract for radio transmitter collars to Advanced Telemetry Systems, Inc. (ATS) on a non-competetive basis. Badlands National Park has been purchasing radio transmitter collars from ATS under a previous contract for the past four years. Collars are returned to ATS at the end of the study period for refurbishment and subsequent reuse. ATS is the only company that will refurbish its manufactured collars. They also are the only known company to manufacture a collar for swift fox with a 45 degree antennae bend on a spring. This is a desirable feature that improves durability of the radio collar on this burrowing fox. Past market research and solicitations for the same and similar items have shown ATS to have competitive pricing and the ability to provide a reliable, sturdy and quality product that is able to meet specific project requirements. Award will be made o/a July 15, 2008. Contact person for questions is Chris Esper at 605-574-3153 or email at chris_esper@nps.gov. Award amount for the base year contract and one renewable option year is anticipated to be $30,343.70, depending on amount of collars ordered and refurbished each year.
