About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Research and Development Center-Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) awarded a $123,297.85 firm fixed-price purchase order to Zara Environmental LLC for karst species surveying and monitoring services at Fort Cavazos, Texas. The contract, which commenced on August 6, 2025, with completion targeted for August 7, 2026, encompasses searching for, documenting, and mapping karst features and associated troglofauna including western slimy salamanders and tricolored bats, updating previously documented karst feature locations, refreshing Rocket River flow baseline data and reinstalling sensors, and providing technical support for at-risk karst species management and conservation efforts. No set-aside designation was utilized in this procurement.
Zara Environmental LLC, an SBA-certified women-owned small business headquartered in San Marcos, Texas, was selected on a sole-source basis due to its specialized expertise in central Texas karst ecosystems and over 35 years of karst monitoring experience at the installation dating back to 1989. The contractor maintains familiarity with more than 1,000 documented karst features at Fort Cavazos, holds required permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and employs personnel trained in specialized technical disciplines including single rope technique, cave rescue certification, and cave diving—qualifications deemed essential for identifying endemic karst species requiring highly specialized knowledge. This procurement aligns with the Department of the Army's broader environmental stewardship and ecological monitoring mission at military installations.
