- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure wildlife management services via herding of Canada Geese. Due to the continuing increase in the number of Canada geese on the 570 acre property located at 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD, NIST has a requirement for the services of a trainer and registered, fully trained herding dog to restrict, minimize, and/or eliminate the presence of the geese using standard herding practices. No animals are to be harmed as a result of the dog's activities. The trainer and dog must work effectively together to restrict herding activities to only the geese. Other wildlife on the site include deer, fox, groundhogs, raccoons, and a variety of birds. The contractor's objectives are to restrict the geese to the areas immediately surrounding the ponds and wetland area to minimize goose/staff interaction around all buildings, walkways, and parking lots and to reduce the site-wide population to 100 Canada geese. Herding services shall be conducted randomly on a weekly basis from several times per day to several times per week based on seasonal and migratory waterfowl practices, nesting periods, and/or nuisance activities. The Contractor shall have sole ownership and responsibility for the dog(s) employed in this service. Contractor must have an animal available to meet the requirements of this contract at all times (i.e., if primary animal is ill or injured, a backup must be available). Contractor shall be responsible for all shelter, care, transportation and veterinary services, and insurance. As part of the evaluation process, offerors may be required to give an on-site demonstration of techniques to be utilized. Evaluation will be based on the control of the animal by the handler and the responsiveness to command in achieving the desired goal. The Government anticipates a firm fixed price contract for a 12 month base year period with four one year option periods, if exercised. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. The competitive solicitation, solicitation amendments, and all questions and answers related to this procurement shall be made available via the Internet at http://www.fedbizops.gov. The solicitation, SB1341-02-R-0005, is anticipated for release to the vendor community on or about November 1, 2001 and will only be available via the Internet at the above web site. Potential offers are responsible for accessing the web site. Interested parties must respond to the solicitation in order to be considered for award of any resultant contract. There is no written solicitation document available, telephone requests will not be honored and no bidders lists will be maintained. Potential offerors are required to direct all questions via email to Diane.Loeb@nist.gov. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (07-JUN-2002).
