This announcement expresses an intent to competitively solicit and negotiate for a fixed-price purchase order to prepare a management analysis for the Lake Berryessa Management Area (LBMA) for the Bureau of Reclamation. The LBMA includes 20,000-acre Lake Berryessa and 10,000 acres of land. Currently, there are seven full-service concession areas (resorts) on the lake under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation, as well as numerous day use areas and trails directly managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. The study will assist the Bureau of Reclamation in determining the most feasible option to provide the greatest customer service to users of the LBMA. The potential and capability of the Bureau of Reclamation, the Bureau of Land Management, and a number of other federal, state and local agencies to manage the LBMA will be reviewed. Several previous studies are available for review and use as background. The four tasks included in the management analysis are: 1) Describe the existing situation and management strategy for the LBMA. This task includes identifying the various stakeholders in the existing LBMA management process. 2) Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various agencies to manage LBMA, with emphasis on concession management. 3) Assess the potential for special Congressional designation. This task includes review of the management plans and recreation strategies of agencies and recreation providers in and around the LBMA. 4) Summarize findings. The delivered summary will be useable for public outreach purposes. Payment will be based on a schedule of deliverables. Innovative methods of performance will be considered. This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated price of less than $100,000. This notice is the only official notice prior to award of the purchase order. The anticipated award date is May 31, 2000. All inquiries and concerns must be addressed in writing to the Contracting Officer at the US Bureau of Reclamation, Attn: MP-3810, 2800 Cottage Way, Room E-1815, Sacramento, CA. Inquiries shall be received by May 10, 2000. Posted 04/14/00 (W-SN445201). (0105)
