- Description
- The United States Bureau of Reclamation intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis with Avry Dotan under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for the purchase of services to modify an existing SalSim modeling program to extend the model to cover the San Joaquin River Restoration Program (SJRRP)(see www.restoresjr.net.) The estimated period of performance is one base year plus one optional year. Avry Dotan is the developer of the SalSim modeling system currently in use by various agencies including the California Department of Fish & Wildlife and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to refine flow management, design channel improvements, and reintroduce a self-sustaining spring-run Chinook salmon population to the San Joaquin River. The model is functioning for other Central Valley Rivers including the lower San Joaquin River, but does not include the SJRRP Restoration Area. The SalSim model has capabilities valuable to the SJRRP not available through other salmon models. It is the only available salmon model for the San Joaquin River basin that includes temperature, flow and a population model together into one model application. Firms believing they can provide the services listed above must provide written notification to the Contracting Officer with supporting evidence to that effect in sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirements. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. All responses received within the due date of the solicitation will be considered by the Government. The due date and time for responses is August 28, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. PDT. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses shall be emailed to the Government point of contact below. Responses should include the firm's Dun and Bradstreet number and Tax Identification Number. Firms should identify business size (i.e. small business, other than small business, etc.) in accordance with the size standard for NAICS Code 541512 which is $27.5M. This notice may represent the only official notice of this requirement. Questions concerning this solicitation should be directed to Laura StJohn at lstjohn@usbr.gov.
