1 INTRODUCTION

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) requires video production services to produce professional quality, high-definition videos about NRCS projects implemented in Alaska. Videos may vary in length depending on the subject between 3 to 10 minutes. The videos will be used as marketing and outreach materials to encourage Alaska landowners and communities to work with NRCS through its watershed programs and Farm Bill conservation programs; and to demonstrate the benefits of working with NRCS in Alaska. Some videos may be used as training videos to demonstrate a field work data collection method or field work assessment.

1.1 Mission

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a federal agency under the U.S.

Department of Agriculture. The mission of NRCS is helping people help the land. NRCS provides voluntary financial assistance and technical assistance programs to help agricultural producers conserve natural resources such as soil, water, air, plants, animals/wildlife and energy. Participation in NRCS programs is entirely voluntary. Producers choose to work with NRCS because they see a benefit to conservation for the land and for their operation.

Examples of NRCS conservation projects in Alaska include installing seasonal high tunnels to grow crops; installing micro-irrigation systems to improve water use efficiency on farms; improving forest health with pre-commercial thinning, fuel breaks and other forestry practices; protecting soil from erosion by building trails and walkways; and more. Watershed programs are also a priority in Alaska, specifically Emergency Watershed Protection Program and the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program.

EWP relieves imminent hazards to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms, heavy rains, and other natural disasters. Examples of EWP work can include: removing debris clogging stream channels or waterways, stabilizing eroding streambanks, and relocation of at-risk buildings and houses.

1.2 Background

NRCS Alaska needs multiple video success stories that can be used as outreach materials to potential program participants to demonstrate the benefits of voluntary conservation programs and recruit future applicants. Audiences for the videos include Alaska Native Tribes, tribal entities including Regional and Village Corporations, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, state and federal partner agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), agricultural organizations/associations, individual agricultural producers and private landowners. Videos will be posted to the NRCS Alaska YouTube channel. NRCS Alaska will disseminate the YouTube video links using a variety of email marketing, website/digital and social media strategies to target audiences. Video topics will be diverse and represent a variety of NRCS programs, conservation practices, land uses, and agricultural production. Video locations will include various geographic regions in Alaska where NRCS has helped landowners implement projects including projects on and off the road system. Projects off the road system will require travel by plane and/or boat.

People interviewed will be diverse and include various cultures and communities in Alaska including rural Alaska. NRCS Alaska also needs videos produced to provide training or demonstrate a “how-to” process for field data collection such as how to collect snow survey samples, or how to perform an in-field soil health assessment, for example.

Interested contractors should submit 3 video samples demonstrating work in a natural resources/agriculture setting.

1.3 Scope

An Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract is contemplated with a five(5) year ordering period.

The videographer will be called upon to conduct on-camera interviews with 2 to 6 people for each video.

Interviewees will include private landowners, NRCS employees and representatives from the local government/municipality/Tribe that worked with NRCS on the project. The NRCS Public Affairs Specialist will help coordinate which individuals will be interviewed for each story.

Interviews will be conducted outdoors in and around the project site and within the village and/or community for each project. Interviews may be performed indoors due to inclement weather or other factors. Videos may be filmed in all types of weather, including rain, wind, snow and cold temperatures (sub-zero). The Public Affairs Specialist will work with the video crew to determine filming sites and will coordinate access with private landowners.

Video topics will be diverse and represent a variety of NRCS programs, conservation practices, land uses, and agricultural production statewide throughout Alaska. Video locations will include various geographic regions in Alaska where NRCS has helped landowners implement projects including projects on and off the road system. Projects off the road system will require travel by plane and/or boat. People interviewed will be diverse and include various cultures and communities in Alaska including rural Alaska. NRCS Alaska also needs videos produced to provide training or demonstrate a “how-to” process for field data collection such as how to collect snow survey samples, or how to perform an in-field soil health assessment, for example.

See attached list of potential site locations for video stories.

The videographer may be asked to supplement video b-roll with stock footage. Any costs to obtain such b-roll should be included in the price. Narration services are optional and any costs for narration must be included in the total price. Background music is recommended and costs to obtain music should be included in the total price. Videos must also include closed captions.

Videos should be high resolution in quality (4K or higher) and final videos will be posted to YouTube on behalf of NRCS Alaska along with closed captions and a custom graphic thumbnail for each video.

Graphic thumbnails will be developed by the vendor.

Drones: NRCS requests the use of aerial drone footage showcasing these projects. Opportunities for collecting drone footage will be available at each site.

Request for Video Samples: Interested contractors should submit 3 video samples demonstrating work in a natural resources/agriculture setting.

Tyonek Creek Aqua c Organism Passage Video Success Story

Summary: The Tyonek Tribal Conserva on District (TTCD) plans to install a large culvert in the summer of

2024 that is being funded by the USDA Natural Resources Conserva on Service Environmental Quality

Incen ves Program (EQIP). The culvert installa on will improve stream condi ons salmon habitat. This project is significant as it is the largest fish passage project to ever be installed in the state. Many project partners have been vital in the prepara on, design and implementa on of the project including TTCD, The Tyonek Na ve Corpora on, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Alaska Department of Fish and

Game, among others. NRCS needs to visually tell the story of this partnership and the locally‐led conserva on happening on‐the‐ground to showcase how TCDs in Alaska can u lize NRCS assistance to accomplish subsistence management goals.

Examples of Visuals to Capture:

Construc on equipment moving dirt and installing culvert pipe

Construc on crew members installing the culvert

People wading in the stream taking measurements and collec ng water samples

Salmon swimming in‐stream

People fishing and/or preparing/processing salmon

Salmon smoke houses

Other culvert replacement projects completed in past years throughout the village

Establishing shots of the village of Tyonek including village infrastructure and scenery

People to Interview:

NRCS District Conserva onist or other designated NRCS representa ve

Representa ve from TTCD

Mul ple locals who live in the village including 1 or more Tribal Elders

Travel and Logis cs: NRCS requires video footage including drone footage of construc on ac vi es taking place at mul ple me periods during the installa on. It is likely that limited no ce to film will be given due to the construc on melines, stream condi ons and weather. A film crew will need to visit

Tyonek up to 5 mes to capture footage of the project including before, during and a er footage. NRCS will provide as much advance no ce as possible.

The Na ve Village of Tyonek is located about 40 miles south of Anchorage on the west side of the Cook

Inlet. No roads connect the village to the rest of Alaska. Tyonek is accessible only by small plane or boat.

About 170 people live in the village year‐round.

Travel to Tyonek is a 10‐15 minute flight from Merrill Field in Anchorage on Spernak Airways. Es mated cost for the round trip flight to Tyonek is $275 but actual costs may vary. There is limited overnight lodging available in Tyonek and accommoda ons may include sleeping in the school house or other village facili es. There is limited food supply as well; visitors should bring their own food as well as sleeping bags and other overnight essen als. NRCS may have the ability to charter a private aircra for

NRCS staff and film crew staff if it allows more me for personnel to shoot video in Tyonek since Spernak

Airlines flights are limited and the last flight each day is at 4 p.m.

Background on the Project:

When the Tyonek road system was originally constructed in the 1960’s, many of the culverts installed under roads were improperly sized and poorly engineered to sustain salmon habitat. Over the years, the problem grew worse as high‐water events caused culverts to clog with heavy debris and blow out. It created a nega ve impact on salmon popula ons in the community because the fish could no longer access their historical spawning habitat.

Salmon and other anadromous species are born in fresh water and spend their early years living in freshwater systems; then they migrate to the ocean where they live their adult lives in salt water. Toward the end of their lifecycle, they journey hundreds of miles from the ocean back to the unique freshwater habitat where they were born to spawn and die.

To keep this cri cal lifecycle intact, salmon need unobstructed access to their freshwater spawning grounds. Lack of access to historical spawning and rearing habitat has resulted in nega ve impacts on salmon popula ons in and around Tyonek. The streams in Tyonek are home to all 5 species of Pacific salmon: chum, pinks, coho, sockeye and kings.

The TTCD took on fish passage as a priority and forged strong partnerships with state and federal agencies to obtain technical and financial assistance to repair or replace culverts.

TTCD, Tyonek Na ve Corpora on, NRCS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) are working together to assess all stream crossings, priori ze replacement projects, and eventually remove all known fish barriers within the District. Each agency provides technical assistance and financial assistance in different ways.

NRCS provides engineering design work and financial assistance through its Environmental Quality

Incen ves Program (EQIP). With NRCS assistance, TTCD has replaced 12 culverts since 2012 which restored about 46 miles of stream habitat (not including the new culvert that is planned for installa on in 2024). The new culverts opened up more habitat for salmon to access their spawning grounds. Staff have no ced an increase in juvenile salmonids upstream of several culvert replacements.
