B -- RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLANS SOL 1425-98-SP-10-14340 POC Joseph Pratt (208) 378-5139 E-MAIL: Click here to contact Mr. Pratt, jpratt@pn.usbr.gov. Reclamation has a requirement for the preparation of Resource Management Plans (RMPs) in the Pacific Northwest Region of the Bureau of Reclamation (Washington, Idaho and portions of Oregon and Montana). Public use of these Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs has grown significantly, putting increased demands on the limited lands and facilities surrounding the reservoirs. It's the intent of Reclamation to issue a solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for a 1-year period with three or four 1-year options. The solicitation for this requirement will include the first two Tasks to be issued under the ID/IQ contract for RMPs at Ririe Reservoir/Tex Creek Wildlife Management Area and at Cascade Reservoir (both located in Southern Idaho). Reclamation's goal is to manage, protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat, natural, cultural, and recreational resources, to preserve the aesthetic quality and natural environment and to promote the safe and healthful use of the reservoir area lands and water. This contract excludes mandatory coverage for cultural resource data collection as this service is already available under another contract. Other ancillary task orders relating to the RMPs in the Pacific Northwest Region may be ordered under this contract, if they are deemed necessary by the Government to complete the RMPs. Reclamation is specifically seeking offerors with knowledge and familiarity of the areas surrounding the two reservoirs listed above, as well as knowledge of, and experience in preparing RMPs for agencies in, the Pacific Northwest area. The contractor will be required to work with GIS information in the ArcView format -- the solicitation may be issued electronically via CD-ROM and/or Internet and will include GIS files. We will accept facsimile requests for this solicitation at (208) 378-5108, and e-mail requests at "jpratt@pn.usbr.gov". No telephone requests. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which we will consider. This requirement is not a set-aside. See numbered Note 26. (0124)
