The following have been modified:
PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
Performance Work Statement – Turtle Egg Detection – STANDD – MCBH
1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. The contractor shall provide sufficient quantities and types of trained, qualified, or certified Contractor personnel as requested by the Government to perform the required tasks for each service type described in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the Environmental Compliance and Protection Division, Facilities Department, located in Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), Kaneohe Bay. In support of mission readiness, the contractor shall use three or more detection dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) to survey beaches located on MCBH in order to detect active sea turtle nests.
The dogs shall be fully trained in non-invasive methods of identifying active sea turtle nests. The intent is to detect nests active during the season without historical nests triggering a final response from the dogs.
Methodology must be pre-approved by MCBH Natural Resources Staff. All permitting requirements needed from US Fish & Wildlife Services or the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to handle and retain fluids/tissues of protected species in accordance to law is the responsibilty of the vendor to obtain. The contractor shall retain enough of the sea turtle sample to ensure canines are properly trained and performance upheld throughout the contract. Contractors shall coordinate closely with MCBH Natural Resources staff and Malama I Na Honu volunteers to track and integrate with the sea turtle program each season.
2. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT TASKING. PERFORMANCE
REQUIREMENT/TASKING:
1. SERVICE TYPE 1: Canine Handler/Dog Team
Condition 1: Canine training. Work shall be limited to training and maintaining efficacy of detection dogs to fulfill contract requirements.
2. Contractor shall legally attain samples of cloacal fluid from Hawaiian sea turtles via the appropriate federal agency. Fluid can be from separate species and individual females but must be kept separate for analysis if that is the case.
3. Contractor shall train three or more fresh dogs to detect sea turtle nests via smell using the cloacal fluid. “Fresh dogs” is defined as dogs not previously exposed to sea turtle work in a fashion that may render false positives or an unclear ‘final response’.
4. Ensure detection dogs attain and maintain effective capability to detect nests by smell. Ensure detections dogs can render clear ‘final response’ to handlers indicating a nest before the start of each season (April 1st). This must be demonstratable.
5. The dog’s wellbeing should be prioritized and dogs shall be treated ethically at all times. This includes food, water, and shelter from the elements.
Condition 2: Trials. Work shall include test trials, field work, and on-call hours.
6. Safely transport dogs to and from nest site locations in a timely manner to ensure nest detectability (see section 2.1.12 below).
7. Be aware of sea states, tides, and advance weather forecasts.
8. Understand and follow MCBH communications procedures with Natural Resources Staff, Malama I Na Honu volunteers, Conservation Law Enforcement Officers (CLEOs),Range Control, and Provost Marshal’s Office (PMO) when working on base and while conducting field work. Frequent communication via text, email, and phone calls will be required when deploying to a nest site.
9. Monitor for and avoid other marine life that may occur aboard beaches including endangered Hawaiian monk seal and basking sea turtles. Report all sightings of endangered marine species to MCBH natural resource staff.
10. Provide training and guidance to others as requested or directed by MCBH Natural Resources Staff.
11. The contractor shall survey and collect data on 100% of presumed sea turtle nests identified aboard MCBH.
12. Early in the first season contractors shall begin to build a standard curve demonstrating sea turtle nest detectability by the dogs in the time after the nest was laid. Dogs must be brought to at least 10 known/confirmed nests at least twice a day with at least six hours between the two visits to build standard curve. Additional visits at any time intervals are encouraged. See PWS paragraph 2.1.14.
13. Must commit to non-traditional hours during the Period of Performance.
Condition 3: Deliverables
14. Based off data from handler/dog teams, contractors shall build a standard curve using a minimum of 10 nests and document the rate at which dogs loose ability to detect nests. This curve will have time represented by hours on the X axis and detection success on the Y axis and will run until all three dogs are no longer rendering a clear ‘final response.’ Close coordination for this performance goal will be necessary in order to build the standard curve soon after nests are laid. A known nest is defined as a nest through observation of oviposition from the adult female turtle. A confirmed nest is after a presumed nest shows signs of emergence or is excavated to confirm eggs in the chamber.
15. Contractors shall immediately communicate and document any significant events, observations, or findings in regards to sea turtle nest detection. Examples include but are not limited to: disturbed nests, destroyed nests, carcasses of marine life, environmental anomalies, and extreme weather among others.
16. Contractors shall produce one progress report mid-season and one annual report after each nesting season but before December 31st. At the conclusion of the contract, the contractor shall produce a final report. The first annual report and final report may be the same document if no optional years are funded.
