- Description
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, intends to award a single source contract under the authority of FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, to provide this service for implementation of draft recovery plan for the Little Lost River bull trout recovery unit. This notice of intent is to award a single source contract to Trout Unlimited a non-profit organization. This is not a request for competitive proposals. There is no solicitation document. No RFP will be available for competitive proposals. Phone calls will not be accepted. The point of contact for this action is Contract Specialist, Lorrie J. Gleghorn she may be reached at lorrie_gleghorn@fws.gov. Interested parties may express their interest and provide a capabilities statement NLT Friday, 12 September 2008 at 4:30 P.M. PST. A determination not to compete this proposed contract upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. A. Sawmill Creek DiversionThe proposed project is to replace the current headgate/screen structure with an appropriate screen that would prevent entrainment of bull trout and a measuring device to allow for monitoring of flow rates. This project implements section 1 in the draft recovery plan for the Little Lost River bull trout recovery unit "Protect, restore and maintain suitable habitat conditions for bull trout. This project is also included as a conservation measure in the draft biological opinion on the effects to bull trout from the Sawmill Diversion (March 2008) B. Sawmill Creek WeirThis project will re-establish a barrier that will preclude brook trout to colonize the headwater tributaries of Sawmill Creek. The barrier will consist of a concrete or natural log weir that will inhibit upstream movement by brook trout. Downstream movement of all fishes will not be affected by this device. Once the passage barrier is functional, the fish assemblage upstream of the barrier will be documented via electrofishing. Bull trout will be returned to the system upstream of the barrier and brook trout will be removed. This project implements section 2 in the draft recovery plan for the Little Lost River bull trout recovery unit "Prevent and reduce negative effects of nonnative fishes and other nonnative taxa on bull trout" (p. 40) C. Castle Creek DiversionThis project proposal addresses installation of a self-propelled modular drum screen meeting National Marine Fisheries Service screen criteria on the Castle Creek diversion at the point of diversion on Castle Creek. The screen would incorporate an integral headgate and water level measuring device to comply with Idaho state law. Due to the year-round operation for hydropower generation, screening of this diversion will require provision for removal a portion of the screen facility during winter months (Nov-Mar), when icing problems preclude operation. As equipment access to the diversion site is inhibited by the steep sideslopes and lack of suitable access around a section of trestle-supported pipeline, costs of placement and installation of the screen and supporting appurtenances will be elevated above nominal levels. Options for materials placement could include use of a helicopter or construction of a high-lead line downslope to the diversion site. Hand excavation of the site for installation of the screen would also incur greater than normal installation costs.
