PRESOLICITATION NOTICE

Solicitation Number: 140R4025Q0024

Title: Integrated Vegetation Management IDIQ

Requiring Agency: Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission

Contracting Agency: United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Acquisition Management Division, Upper Colorado Regional Office, 125 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84138

Description: The Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Regional Office anticipates issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) to establish an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to acquire contractor services for vegetation management and noxious/invasive weed control on lands administered by the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (Commission) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation). These services are for the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project (CUP) in and around central and northeastern Utah.

The Central Utah Project Completion Act establishes and authorizes the Commission to complete the fish, wildlife and recreation mitigation and conservation program for the Bonneville Unit of the CUP. Mitigation lands or easements require management, development, and operation and maintenance to provide effective long-term mitigation and conservation.

Noxious weed and invasive species plant control is a key method for helping to achieve desired fish and wildlife habitat outcomes and improved biological diversity and productivity of native ecosystems.

This IDIQ contract is intended to provide contractor services to manage noxious and invasive weeds and undesired vegetation on lands administered by the Commission and/or Reclamation for wildlife mitigation and conservation. The size and complexity of the potential project areas to be treated is variable; some are small and relatively simple (e.g., all similar elevation and topography) while others may consist of steep-sided uplands, stream corridors, riparian areas, and wetlands. Therefore, the treatment approach may be simple or more complex. For those project areas where a complex work assignment is anticipated, the Commission may require an initial assessment of the project area, creation of a treatment plan, and upon approval of the plan, treatment of the area.
