- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation intends to negotiate a sole-sourced award under FAR 6.302-1 with the Utah Department of Wildlife Resourdes for implementation of the Utah Aquatic Invastive Species Management Plan which includes placing additional personnel at Rockport, Willard, East Canyon, and Utah Lake to inspect for invasive species, decontaminate boats and other equipment and provide education to the public. The award will be for a base year and four option years. The period of performance is as follows: Base Year May 25, 2015 through March 30, 2016 Option Year 1 May 30, 2016 through March 30, 2017 Option Year 2 May 29, 2017 through March 30, 2018 Option Year 3 May 28, 2018 through March 30, 2019 Option Year 4 May 27, 2019 through March 30, 2020 Reclamation is mandated by Executive Order 13112 dated February 3, 1999, to prevent the introduction of invasive species and provide for their control and to minimize the economic, ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) implements the Utah Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plan. This Plan strives to prevent mussel invasions into those waters that are not presently contaminated with AIS and prevent the export of AIS from those waters where studies have shown possible invasions. UDWR has been given the responsibility for this effort within the State of Utah by the Utah Legislature. The UDWR's authority lies within the Aquatic Invasive Species Act http://www.le.state.ut.us/~code/code.htm 23-27-101 thru 401 and Rule R657-60 Aquatic Invasive Species Interdiction (http://wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/rules-regulations/986-r657-60--aquatic-invasive-species-interdiction.html) Rule R657-60-8 provides authority for UDWR's Director, in concurrence with Executive Director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources and following consultation with the controlling entity of the water body, to issue a Closure Order regulating the introduction or removal of conveyances and other equipment. Rule 657-60-9 provides for development of a Control Plan which has force of law, when approved by UDWR. The Control Plan may establish limits and duration for a Closure Order, and may negate need for a Closure order. No other vendor exists that has authority from the State of Utah to conduct this type of work. The Bureau of Reclamation has determined the Utah AIS Management Plan is the best method at this time to prevent the costly infestation of mussels to Utah waters. Any firms that believes it could fulfill the Government need described herein must submit a capability statement to Lisa Hilton at lhilton@usbr.gov by close of business 8/25/14 for consideration. However, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to make the final decision on source selection in the best interest of the Government.
