Description
W912P8-17-R-0018 99-Miscellaneous MITIGATION BANKING CREDITS, Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee Bottomland Hardwood Coastal Zone, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District This will be an UNRESTRICTED procurement. All qualified business concerns may submit offers. The New Orleans District, US Army Corps of Engineers (CEMVN) has a requirement to purchase Bottomland Hardwood (BLH) mitigation bank credits located in the Terrebonne Basin watershed as specified below, to compensate for unavoidable habitat losses caused by the construction of the Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee, Susie Canal and Orange Street project. As part of the plan, CEMVN will purchase BLH mitigation bank credits in the Terrebonne Basin to mitigate BLH habitat impacts caused by the construction of the Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee project. These credits must be approved by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LDNR) to mitigate Louisiana Coastal Zone (CZ) impacts. The bank(s) from which credits will be purchased will be selected through a competitive solicitation/award process; any mitigation bank meeting the eligibility requirements and having the appropriate resource type of credits may submit a proposal to sell credits. CEMVN may enter into one or more contracts to purchase the needed amount of mitigation credits. A separate contract shall be executed for each Bank. Award will be made to the offer(s) with the lowest price technically acceptable. A mitigation bank must meet all of the following qualifications to be eligible to sell credits to satisfy Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee project mitigation requirements. For the proposal to be considered responsive and for the contractor to be considered responsible, the mitigation bank shall: • be approved by CEMVN and in full compliance with its Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI), its other legal instruments (such as its conservation servitude and its financial assurances) and the standards set forth in 33 CFR Part 332; • be physically located within the Terrebonne Basin which consists of Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC) 08070300 and 08090302. • provide the habitat type that matches the habitat type being mitigated; • have mitigation credits assessed using version 1.0 of the Wetland Value Assessment (WVA) Community Model available to compensate for the impacts to the particular habitat to be mitigated; and • have a duly-recorded perpetual conservation servitude/easement. Models used for Civil Works projects are required to be certified by Headquarters USACE Model Certification Panel and comply with the certification criteria presented in EC 1105-2-412. Version 1.0 of the WVA BLH Community Model has been certified and was used to assess Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee construction impacts. Accordingly, this model will be used to assess Terrebonne Non-Federal Levee compensatory mitigation credit values. To facilitate the solicitation process, CEMVN, in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has run version 1.0 of the WVA on the approved banks in the Terrebonne Basin with available BLH credits approved to mitigate CZ impacts based on information provided by the bank sponsor during the bank approval process. The Value Model results will be included in the solicitation package. NAICS: 523910. Total value is estimated to cost between $250,000.00 and $500,000.00. The solicitation will be issued on or about 22 February 2017 with a due date established. Actual issue date will be shown when the solicitation is issued.
