- Description
- The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the treatment of native and non-native invasive vegetation plant control on Florida National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs) utilizing ground control methodologies that include chemical (herbicide), mechanical, and physical control techniques. The types of native and non-native invasive vegetation include but not limited to Melaleuca, Brazilian Pepper, Lygodium, Old world Climbing Fern, Mimosa, Australian Pine and Cogon Grass. The total list will be made available in the RFP and can be found at: http://www.fleppc.org/. There are approximately 28 National Wildlife Refuges and a few National Fish Hatchery where treatment maybe ordered. The contractor shall furnish all labor, transportation, equipment, supplies and other incidental necessary to perform the job. For more detail, please view and apply to this solicitation at http://ideasec.nbc.gov/j2ee/login.jsp. Once in the website, either log in with your DUNs/MPIN number or enter the document number (F11PS00528). The contract resulting from the solicitation will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for a base year and four option years for a total duration of five years. This procurement is for full and open competition with the intent to award Time and Material multiple award contracts under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 561730 Weed Control and Fertilizing Services (except crop). There will be no pre-proposal site visit or pre-bid meeting for this RFP. Your proposal will be based on the Project (Proposal) Scenario that will be provided in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated based on the following evaluation factors (and applicable sub-factors): Factor 1 - Technical capability to include Work Plan (i.e. technical approach, management approach, safety plan), Work Capacity (i.e. staffing and equipment approach), Past Experience, and Sub-contracting Plan; Factor 2 - Past Performance; and Factor 3 - Price. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, Factor 1 and 2 when combined are significantly more important than Factor 3. The importance of price will increase if offerors are considered essentially equal in terms of technical capability or if price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of the proposal's technical superiority to the government. Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with Sections L and M of the solicitation. The RFP will be issued on or about June 6, 2011. The due date for all proposals will be specified in the RFP (Local Time/eastern time) once issued. A contract award is expected 30 days from the closing date of the RFP. For more detail, please view and apply to this solicitation at http://ideasec.nbc.gov/j2ee/login.jsp. Once in the website, either log in with your DUNs/MPIN number or enter the document number (F11PS00528).

All contractors with access to the internet and an e-mail address can receive electronic notifications of award. This solicitation will be issued electronically, as will any amendments thereto. Thus, the Government is under no obligation and is in fact unable to maintain a bidder's mailing list. It is therefore the responsibility of any interested parties to obtain any amendments which may be issued. Failure to obtain any said amendments and to respond to them prior to the date and time set for proposal receipts may render your offer non-responsive and result in the rejection of it. Telephone requests will not be accepted.
