- Description
- In accordance with FAR 6.302, 5.2, and 17.207(4) this notice advertises the government's intent to exercise option year four (final option year) of a five year contract to Cameron Cattle Company, Inc. The option year will be in effect from October 21, 2010 through April 1, 2011. The original award included a base year and four option years. The original award was made in accordance with FAR 6.302, Other Than Full and Open Competition, and FAR 12, Commercial Item Acquisition. The contractor provides the following: 1) At least 30 acres of dry pasture and shelter from the weather. Shelter consists of heavy tree cover and/or barn, or other structure adequate to provide covered protection. 2) A constant source of clean water. 3) An adequate supply of stored hay to supplement pasture. 4) Makes daily welfare checks for each mule and immediately notify the COR in the event of injuries, accidents or health issues. 4) Adequate fencing with secure gates. Contractor takes all reasonable measures to prevent access to stock by third parties. 5) Contractor is (and shall be) located within hour drive of Port Angeles to enable quick, drive-by inspections by various members of Olympic National Park's trail crew to ensure the mules are being cared for in the manner expected, such as receiving adequate food and water, and are healthy in appearance. The reason for the close proximity to Port Angeles is to ensure that the Olympic National Park trail crew staff can make routine trips to the contractor's land for attending to the mules, such as trimming feet, responding to reported illness or injury, and/or addressing any other problems the contractor has notified the COR about during the winter months. The proximity would also ensure a generally mild winter due to being located within Port Angeles' "rain shadow." Comments and questions regarding this announcement may be directed to Phaedra Fuller, Contracting Officer, at phaedra_fuller@nps.gov. Include your business name, qualifications, and point of contact. All comments received before October 13, 2009 will be considered.
