Over 7,000 acres of Everglades National Park consists of formerly developed land that was once farmed, graded and filled for roads or filled for some other purpose. Local agricultural practices included rock plowing, which breaks up underlying bedrock and dramatically alters soil structure. Agricultural fields were often heavily fertilized, resulting in nutrient rich soils, not at all typical of the very nutrient-poor Everglades. In south Florida, previously farmed or filled areas rapidly fill up with dense communities of exotic plants. The drained, artificially nutrient-enriched soils on these sites support such luxuriant plant growth that management of exotics in these areas is impractical. The park has developed techniques for restoring former agricultural or filled sites that restore natural conditions, promote native vegetation communities and minimize the need for ongoing exotic plant control. Over 3000 acres of previously farmed land in the Hole-in-the-Donut area of the park has already been successfully restored using these techniques. Many of the additional areas to be restored are in the East Everglades addition lands, though others are scattered throughout the park. In all, the project would complete the restoration of over 7,000 acres of highly disturbed land and improve the habitat quality and wetland function of a large area surrounding the restoration project. - Type of Procurement: A negotiated firm-fixed price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) service contract with one base year and four option years will be considered for award requiring submission of both a technical and a price proposal. The government will consider an offeror's technical capability in comparison to its price. - Estimated annual price range: $2 million minimum and $24 million maximum. - Proposal receipt date is approximate; actual date will be established at the time proposal documents are available. - All responsible sources may submit an offer that will be considered. - It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns. Such concerns must also have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate as subcontractors in the contracts awarded by any executive agency, consistent with efficient contract performance. All offerors, (large or small) are strongly encouraged to contact their local Small Business Administration office, to post their need for qualified subcontractors on SUB-Net accessed at http://web.sba.gov/subnet/, and to utilize the Central Contractor Registration's (CCR) Dynamic Small Business Search for potential subcontractors within these various socio-economic categories. - In order to be considered for award, all large businesses will be required to submit an acceptable Small, HUBZone Small, Small Disadvantaged, Women-owned, Veteran-Owned Small Business Subcontracting Plan with their proposal. The NPS subcontracting goals for Fiscal Year 2007 for the participation of small businesses at a minimum are as follows: Small Business Concerns - 19%; Small Disadvantaged Business Concerns - 3%; Small Women-Owned Business Concerns - 5%; HUBZone Small Business Concerns - 3%; Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns - 3%; Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Concerns - 3%; 8(a) concerns - 2.5%.
