- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has a requirement for Soil Conservation Technical services. This is an OMB Circular A-76 Cost Comparison Study. The purpose of this study is to determine the most cost effective method of providing soil conservation technical services for the listed locations in Vermont. Government personnel are currently performing these services. In accordance with OMB Circular A-76, commercial offers will be compared with the Government's costs to perform the above services. The commercial proposals will not result in a contract if Government performance is determined to be more cost advantageous. Major components of this work include: basic conservation planning services, field investigations and topographic surveys, inventories of soils, livestock, water resources, collection of data for planning, design and construction of soil and water conservation practices; these services include performing designs of conservation practices, and providing construction quality assurance during construction of these conservation practices. The services provided include explaining applicable USDA NRCS programs and working cooperatively with local Conservation District staff and other partner agencies. Any contract resulting from this solicitation will have a one-year base period and four one-year options. The lowest price technically acceptable selection process will be used with any resulting award being a firm-fixed price performance based service contract. Firms will be evaluated based on the evaluation criteria listed in the request for proposal to determine technical acceptability. The solicitation will be unrestricted. The solicitation will be available on or about April 28, 2003, and can be downloaded from this web site. Hard copies of the solicitation document will not be available. All questions must be directed to the contracting officer in writing by e-mail at pat.pickett@vt.usda.gov, by facsimile to 802-951-6327, or by mail. No questions will be accepted by telephone.
