PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Planting Inspection Services, North Breton Island

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL: This is a services contract to provide plant monitoring and inspection services for the existing contract (140FNR26Q0003, to be updated when contract awarded) “North Breton Island, Phase 3 Planting/Sand Fencing” on North Breton Island, Breton National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who in turn is responsible for the Government.

1.1 Introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to monitor and inspect vegetative material utilized in the Phase 3 Planting Contract, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. This shall ensure the success of native plant installation efforts at North Breton Island as defined in this PWS. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS.

1.2 Background: Breton National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was established in 1904 and is the second oldest national wildlife refuge in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Refuge is comprised of a series of barrier islands, including North Breton Island (Figure 1). Breton NWR provides breeding habitat for colonies of nesting wading birds and seabirds, as well as wintering habitat for shorebirds and waterfowl.

Figure 1. Map locating the North Breton Island restoration area.

North Breton Island is approximately 13 miles from the nearest mainland coast and 62 miles southeast from the New Orleans metropolitan area in Louisiana (LA). North Breton Island is within the southern portion of the Breton NWR in Plaquemines Parish, LA. The island is a remote offshore island that does not have a landing facility, but can be reached by boat from a launch in Venice, LA.

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused ecosystem level damages to barrier island habitat and bird populations on the Gulf coast. As part of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) program, the Department of the Interior (DOI), through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) was tasked with mitigating environmental damages caused by the spill. North Breton Island was identified as an ideal location to provide additional bird nesting habitat to help restore bird populations that were injured by the spill.

The primary objective of the North Breton Island Restoration Project is to restore beach, dune, and back barrier marsh bird habitat on the island. Construction actions on the island between 2020 and 2022 expanded the area to approximately 426 acres through fill placement using an offshore sand source. A series of native vegetation plantings have also installed thousands of native plants on the island to stabilize sediment and increase vegetation recruitment. A Phase 1 Planting in 2023 installed 52,000 plants, including Bitter panicum (Panicum amarum) and Sea oats (Uniola paniculata) over 64 acres along the island’s dune crest. A Phase 2 Planting installed 14,400 black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) in a 53-acre area of back-barrier marsh on the island’s north end. The Phase 3 planting completed under the Phase 3 Planting/Sand Fencing Contract will install plants in the island’s back barrier marsh (Figure 2, Table 1). It is anticipated that the Phase 3 Planting effort will begin in 2026. This phase is intended to be the final planting action implemented through the North Breton Island Restoration Project.

Work conducted under this contract will support the Phase 3 Planting effort by monitoring and inspecting the plants and plantings under the Phase 3 Planting/Sand Fencing Contract.

However, inspection activities may be conducted during the nesting season following written approval by the Government. Contractor personnel should maintain at least 1,000 ft of distance from any seabird or wading bird colony while on the island, in or around the nesting season.
