The Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML), Hamilton Montana, Rocky Mountain Veterinary Branch of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases intends to contract with the Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital, Hamilton, Montana for overall administration of the Animal Exposure Surveillance Program (AESP) for a basic twelve (12) month period and four (4) option years. Due to the critical nature of incidents which may occur, particularly as a result of exposure to body secretions or neurologic tissues from non-human primates, and the need to drive participants to the medical care facility as promptly as possible, it is mandatory that the care-giving facility be in close proximity (within twenty-five miles) to the RML. It has been determined that the Marcus Daly Memorial Hospital is the only source that can satisfy the requirements of the Animal Exposure Surveillance Program and is located within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of the RML.
