Various projects relating to erosion control systems will be required by the government over the next several years that serve to prevent shoreline and bank erosion along waterways, lakes, canals, bayous, swamps, and tributaries that serve as boundaries for National Wildlife Refuge's and other lands owned and/or managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service within the states of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. Each anticipated contract resulting from the forthcoming solicitation will be general construction and construction related requirements/projects similar, but not limited to: maintenance, alteration, repair, renovation, demolition, and installation of breakwaters and wave break systems. The majority of work will require the installation of new breakwater systems along several areas along the Texas Coast which includes aggregate, rip-rap, limestone, reinforced concrete, gravel, cast-in-place concrete, and similar systems to control erosion from strong wave action along the Gulf Inter Coastal Water Way (GIWW) and various shorelines and coastal areas. Alternate systems that utilize non-geologic, unnatural, and/or fabricated plastic, fiberglass, rubber, or similar man-made materials are not desired. Some projects may require tools and equipment that is capable of being utilized in wet or swampy coastal areas, and some areas may be remote with little or no utilities or services available. The majority of work will require delivery and placement of materials by bucket barge or similar water transportation methods that are capable of operating within shallow rivers, coastal tidal flats, waterways, bayous, swamps, canals, and tributaries. Skilled labor, transportation, and materials will be required on a task order basis. Delivery and placement of materials only may be required on a task order basis, but most frequently, skilled labor and equipment will be required to prevent damage to sensitive ecosystems and natural environments.

Each anticipated award shall run for a base period of one year, and will be inclusive of four optional extension periods of twelve (12) months each period, for a maximum contract term of up to five (5) years per awarded contract.
