In support of the annual research project that involves capturing polar bears on the sea ice off the Chukchi Sea coast, Service personnel will be traveling to Red Dog Mine's port site south of Kivalina as a field base for capture efforts. This location has been used for the past 3 years as a logistics base for the capture effort. This procurement is for: "Seat Fares on Red Dog Mine's charter with Alaska Airlines to move FWS personal and Government Contractors between ANC - Red Dog Mine and Red Dog Mine - ANC"Room and Board for FWS personal and Government Contractors at Red Dog Mine"Frieght/Shipping of field equipment on Red Dog Mine's existing charter for cargo The location of Red Dog Mine's port site is critical for successful operation of this annual capture season. This is the most effective location in which to access the sea ice. The Government has attempted to work out of local villages in the past which are the only other locations in which to base capture operations. However, spring whaling occurs during the time period of the Government operations and local communities do not want the Government to operate the required helicopters and aircraft out of their communities at that time due to potential disturbance to migrating whales. Teck Cominco Alaska, Inc dba: Red Dog Mine owns and manages all facilities at the port site, including the airstrip, charter with Alaska Airlines, and port facilities, that include lodging with a kitchen. No other sources are in or around this location. For more information contact Kathi Smiley at 907-786-3616 or Katherine_Smiley@fws.gov.
