Purchase Order 140R4026P0029

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $190,634 firm fixed-price purchase order to Rocky Mountain Ecology LLC, a small business environmental consulting firm based in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico, to provide invasive plant and aquatic weed control services at Navajo Dam in northwestern New Mexico. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, runs through December 31, 2030, with performance conducted Monday through Friday at the dam site under coordination with the Navajo Dam Maintenance Supervisor. The work involves treating approximately 100 acres within the Primary Jurisdiction Area and "Boneyard" to achieve a 90% kill rate of noxious weeds, undesirable plant species, and aquatic vegetation while maintaining full compliance with federal environmental regulations including the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act.

Rocky Mountain Ecology LLC brings relevant expertise to this engagement, having established itself through multiple contracts with federal land management agencies including the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, with particular experience in invasive species control and environmental management across the southwestern United States. The contractor must maintain a commercial applicator's license for New Mexico and submit comprehensive documentation including safety plans, treatment maps, herbicide records, and post-treatment assessments. The contract anticipates up to three annual mobilizations during spring, summer, and fall periods, though this may be reduced based on operational assessment during the base performance period.
