The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to the University of Montana to establish a network of snowpack and soil moisture monitoring stations across Montana. The original solicitation indicated the agency's intent to issue a request for proposal on a sole source basis to the University of Montana for a five-year ordering period without options. Task orders issued against the contract include delivery orders valued at $2.7 million to $785,590 for research and management support services, soil monitoring, site identification activities, and upgrading existing monitoring stations in the Upper Missouri River Basin region. Performance is to take place in Missoula, Montana through periods ending in 2023 through 2025. No set-asides were specified. The contract aims to procure technical expertise and establish monitoring capabilities to support the agency's civil works mission and environmental protection programs in the region through the continued operation of an existing network and installation of new sites by the University of Montana Research and Sponsored Programs division. The original solicitation indicated the contract intends for the University of Montana to leverage its existing infrastructure, staff expertise, and relationships to standardize instrumentation and expand the network of automated weather and environmental monitoring sites in Montana that are owned, operated and maintained through the University's Mesonet program. This is intended to maintain consistency of data to support management decisions across the Upper Missouri River Basin plains area through ongoing technical support and data transmission to the agency under the established Mesonet protocols.
