C.2.1 Statement of Work

Under the terms of this Statement of Work, the contractor shall complete a variety of tasks to assist the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program conduct field work, analyze and summarize data and report findings related to monk seal biology and ecology. Primarily analyses will pertain to demographic modeling though other projects will be undertaken.

C.2.2 Background

The Hawaiian monk seal population is heading towards extinction with numerous threats afflicting the species across its range. The Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program at the PIFSC conducts research to understand monk seal ecology, the threats to the population, and develop techniques to aid in the species recovery. Much of the work involves monitoring and identifying individual seals to determine survival, reproductive success, and other factors important for modeling population trajectories. These analyses allow researchers and managers to develop intervention and management strategies to help mitigate threats, enhance survival, and minimize human-seal conflicts.

C.2.3 Description of Work and Services

The Contractor shall provide the following services to assist the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program in its mission described above:

1. Data Analysis: The contractor shall perform tasks associated with the compilation, statistical analysis, and interpretation of numerical data.

2. Simulation Modeling: A simulation model specific to the Hawaiian monk seal was developed through a collaborative effort between biologists with the Pacific Island Fisheries Science Center and researchers at Montana State University. The model is designed to represent the life history of the monk seal as realistically as possible, and to fully capture all of the uncertainties in demographic rates and system processes that influence the long-term dynamics of the population. It is intended as both an exploratory tool for management and a predictive tool to better understand the implications of current population trends and natural perturbations. To date, the model has been used to assist NMFS in a number of management decisions.

3. Technical Writing and Report Preparation: The contractor shall provide assistance (or take the lead) in preparing written reports. These shall include, but are not limited to, reports describing the results from the analyses undertaken in item 1 of this contract;

The contractor may be asked to produce plots, figures, tables or other visual aids to be used in presentations or reports in preparation by other personnel. The contractor shall provide assistance in summarizing data, providing simulation results of effects of proposed federal actions, justifying study design, or writing protocols to support permit applications or complete NEPA or other requirements that arise from the permit application process.

4. Study design of major program initiatives and program efficiency reviews: The contractor shall work the PIFSC staff and their partners to design research studies under the three main program initiatives (Population Assessment, Enhancement Activities, and Health Studies). The contractor shall work with PIFSC staff to determine the optimal deployment strategy to maintain the long term monk seal population data set but maximize cost-effectiveness.

5. Computer Programming/Software Development: The contractor shall develop computer programs and end-user software needed for monk seal data analysis or the monk seal research program. The contractor may also be asked to make recommendations for improving various aspects of the monk seal data collection and data management system.

6. Attendance at Meetings, Workshops, and Conferences: The contractor shall attend scientific or public meetings and make presentations as requested. These meetings shall include, but are not limited to, the annual Monk Seal Recovery Team meeting, formal review committees, and special topic meetings relevant to monk seal biology and/or management.

The contractor may be asked to travel to Honolulu to interact with members of the monk seal research team, or participate in special projects related to monk seal research and management.

7. Expert Consultation: The contractor shall provide expert consultation on issues pertaining to monk seal conservation as requested by the contracting office. This will frequently involve technical review and editing of scientific manuscripts, reports and other documents produced by PIFSC and its collaborators.

If the contractor has reason to believe that any activity required in fulfillment of the contract will necessitate any printing or substantial duplicating or copying, it shall immediately provide written notice to the Contracting Officer and request approval prior to proceeding with the activity.

The contractor also agrees not to publish or otherwise divulge such information, in whole or in part, in any manner or form, nor to authorize or permit others to do so, taking such reasonable measures as are necessary to restrict access to such information while in the contractor´s possession, to those employees needing such information to perform the work described herein, i.e., on a "need to know" basis. The contractor agrees to immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing in the event that the contractor determines or has reason to suspect a breach of this requirement has occurred.

For the purpose of this clause, affiliation occurs when a business concern is controlled by or has the power to control another or when a third party has the power to control both.

(c) Warrant and Disclosure. The warrant and disclosure requirements of this paragraph apply with full force to both the contractor and all subcontractors. The contractor warrants that, to the best of the contractor´s knowledge and belief, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which would give rise to an organizational conflict of interest, as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5, and that the contractor has disclosed all relevant information regarding any actual or potential conflict. The contractor agrees it shall make an immediate and full disclosure, in writing, to the Contracting Officer of any potential or actual organizational conflict of interest or the existence of any facts that may cause a reasonably prudent person to question the contractor´s impartiality because of the appearance or existence of bias or an unfair competitive advantage.

(e) Subcontracts. The contractor shall include a clause substantially similar to this clause, including paragraphs (f) and (g), in any subcontract or consultant agreement at any tier expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The terms "contract," "contractor," and "Contracting Officer" shall be appropriately modified to preserve the Government´s rights.

(f) Prime Contractor Responsibilities. The contractor shall obtain from its subcontractors or consultants the disclosure required in FAR Part 9.507-1, and shall determine in writing whether the interests disclosed present an actual, or significant potential for, an organizational conflict of interest. The contractor shall identify and avoid, neutralize, or mitigate any subcontractor organizational conflict prior to award of the contract to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. If the subcontractor´s organizational conflict cannot be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated, the contractor must obtain the written approval of the Contracting Officer prior to entering into the subcontract. If the contractor becomes aware of a subcontractor´s potential or actual organizational conflict of interest after contract award, the contractor agrees that the Contractor may be required to eliminate the subcontractor from its team, at the contractor´s own risk.

(g) Waiver. The parties recognize that this clause has potential effects which will survive the performance of this contract and that it is impossible to foresee each circumstance to which it might be applied in the future. Accordingly, the contractor may at any time seek a waiver from the Head of the Contracting Activity by submitting such waiver request to the Contracting Officer, including a full written description of the requested waiver and the reasons in support thereof.
