Performance Work Statement

Project Title Ecoshare Website Management

General Information

1.0 Background and Purpose

The Ecoshare.info website had been maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USDA FS) as a platform for distributing ecology-related information for almost 25 years. It receives thousands of visits a year from ecologists from state, federal, and academic institutions. It warehouses key ecological material that reflects hundreds of thousands of USDA FS dollars in data collection and analysis. It had been managed as a .info website under contract with Tetra Tech (contract # AG-046W-D-09-0125). The most recent awarded contract ran through 2019 (see AWARD attached to market research documentation).

During 2020-2022 the Ecoshare.info website was converted to a .gov environment by personnel of and per direction from the Chief Information Office (CIO). This process included extensive review of options for the site going forward. Both CIO and Data Resource Management (DRM) indicated they did not have the capacity to service the website once it was transferred to .gov and recommended we hire a contractor.

The work under this contract, for year 1, is expected to involve transferring pages/files from the .info website to the .gov website. A guidance document has been created. We estimate the workload is about 200 hours. In the years 2-5, if funding becomes available, the contract will involve maintenance and occasional uploading of new material, with the workload averaging 10 hours/month.

MIGRATE carry material forward to Drupel site DELETE can be deleted without saving ARCHIVE safely store the material in a folder for us, but it should not be migrated We are confident this approach will result in less than 200 pages of material going forward.

HOME Opening screen Welcome to Ecoshare PLEASE EDIT before migrating Ecoshare provides a wide range of ecological information on the environment, ecology, and the natural resources of Oregon and Washington. The siteWe includes analytical tools, publications, data sets, code sets, GIS data/maps, digital imagery, and educational opportunities and materials plant photography.to a wide audience. Our spirit is interdisciplinary and interagency. All materials presented here are in the public domain. Contributors include ecologists from the Pacific Northwest US Forest Service and US Bureau of Land Management and many other state, federal, and private science providers.
