DAR Grizzly Bear Sightings Log.docx

This is a Grizzly Bear Sightings Log template designed to track wildlife observations along Defense Access Roads (DAR) during Fiscal Year 2026. The log is intended to document incidents involving grizzly bears encountered on Montana routes that support defense access, capturing essential data points including the date and time of each sighting, specific location information (route number, approximate mile post, and county), a detailed description of bear activity and behavior outcomes, reporting information (who reported the sighting and when it was communicated to the Contracting Officer), and whether the bear activity rose to the level of a nuisance requiring intervention by the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) bear specialist.

This template serves as an administrative tool for the MT DAR MALM 2026(1) Defense Access Roads FY 2026 construction project, which is a solicitation issued by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under solicitation number 69056726B000004. The log appears to be a data collection and monitoring document that contractors or project personnel would maintain throughout the fiscal year to track wildlife incidents and ensure appropriate documentation and reporting protocols are followed in compliance with project requirements.
