No formal solicitation for this work exists at this time. All eligible and qualified contractors may submit capability statements for consideration. Capability statements received will be reviewed to determine the quantity and availability of contractors who have the experience, technical level of expertise, administrative and management capability to perform the effort described below.

Reclamation has a requirement for biological monitoring services to inventory Lower Colorado Region, Multi Species Conservation Program (LCR MSCP) covered and non-covered species within LCR MSCP project areas using the double sampling area search method. The double sampling area search is a method where a set of plots are surveyed rapidly and a subset of those plots are surveyed intensively (Bart et al. 2010). Specifically, monitoring will be required on the gilded flicker, Gila woodpecker, summer tanager, vermilion flycatcher, Sonoran yellow warbler and Arizona Bell's vireo and other non-covered riparian bird species within LCR MSCP conservation areas and within existing habitat of future LCR MSCP conservation areas during the 2017 and 2018 breeding seasons. Reclamation will use the information gathered to estimate distribution, population densities and long-term population trends of riparian birds. All services are to be conducted in accordance with the LCR MSCP's Habitat Conservation Plan (Reclamation 2004a); the associated biological opinion (File Number: 02-21-04-F-0161) (USFWS 2005a) and Section10(a)(1)(a) permit (TE-086834-0) (USFWS 2005b); and the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Reclamation 2004b).
