Performance Work Statement (PWS) Geese Wildlife Management

11 June 2020

Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD

1. Introduction:

The Army’s Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) upholds its mission of developing, acquiring, fielding and supporting the Army’s tactical network through a dedicated workforce in order to provide soldiers the information they need to fight and win our nation’s wars. PEO C3T is located in Building 6010 on the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) campus in Maryland. The campus provides a central location utilized by leadership and staff personnel to support the PEO C3T mission.

1. General Specifications:

The purpose of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to provide the specifications for wildlife management as the Canadian geese population has migrated to Building 6010, the location of PEO C3T at APG, MD. The Canadian geese populations are excessive and are repopulating aggressively at the building location. The geese are fouling the ponds with excessive fecal waste. Additionally, they are leaving excessive amounts of droppings in the public areas of campus causing a bio-hazard situation where employees are tracking goose feces into the buildings.

1. Purpose:

The PEO C3T building (6010) is a large facility, housing many subordinate Program Management Offices (PMOs) and other supporting organizations. It is a highly active environment with high traffic throughout the day. Due to the critical nature of the operations at the facility, PEO C3T desires to engage the services of a contractor on a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) basis to remedy the excessive goose population in the area of Building 6010 on a recurring annual basis.

1. Objectives:

· The contractor shall be responsible for the cleaning of geese droppings on the sidewalks outside of Building 6010 once per week. The method of cleaning shall be determined by the contractor. Please note that a water source will not be made available for cleaning. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to provide the water source. This includes all three entrances to the building and the front sidewalk leading to the circle on the west side. Approximately 12,000 square feet of sidewalk.

· The contractor shall be responsible for keeping the geese away from Building 6010 and surrounding sidewalks as effectively as possible during normal business hours of operation (0800 – 1700).

· The contractor shall be responsible for controlling the geese population in the area year round, utilizing environmentally-safe techniques.

· The use of trained dogs (e.g. border collies) is required to encourage the geese to relocate from the area and migrate to another place.

· The trained dogs will be allowed to work off leash but must be in near contact and highly obedient to the handler.

· Mitigation shall be done without physically touching, injuring, or destroying the geese. Properly trained dogs shall not harm or touch the geese in anyway. The presence of the dogs will merely cause the geese to feel threatened, although they will be perfectly safe.

· Chemical repellants shall not be allowed regardless of environmental impact.

· The service hours must be scheduled in coordination with representatives of the PEO C3T facility. Staggered service hours are required to maximize performance.

· Weekend mitigation shall be required if necessary.

· The contractor shall be required to “addle” the goose eggs during nesting season using best practices/treatment of the eggs and immediately replacing them to the nests.

· The contractor shall be required to keep PEO C3T in compliance with any federal and state regulations that apply to geese mitigation.

· The contractor shall be licensed and must be in compliance with all federal and state environmental codes that apply to their business.

1. Deliverables and Schedule:

Monthly spot reports are required. Additionally, an annual goose mitigation report is required detailing the methods used, their outcomes, and proposed remedies and mitigation solutions for the next year. Monthly spot reports shall be sent to the technical point of contact electronically (e-mail). There is no specific format required. Contractor format is acceptable.

4. General Specifications

The vendor shall coordinate the schedule with the PEO C3T facilities manager/representative.
