Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Northwest is requesting solicitations for the procurement of a non-personnel services contract to identify and remove all aquatic invasive plants on site at Acoustic Research Facility (ARD) Bayview located on Lake Pend Oreille in Bayview Idaho.  The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision and other items and non- personnel service necessary to perform ecological services as defined in the Performance Work Statement dated 20 December 2023. 

Performance Objectives:

The project goal is to identify and remove all aquatic invasive plants at ARD Bayview to ensure continued maintenance that is necessary to address regrowth and prevent reestablishment of these destructive plants. Must be able to conduct at least two separate aquatic invasive plant removal treatments annually before curly leaf pondweed turions develop, estimated sometime in June and after Eurasian milfoil emergence, estimated sometime in August. This would be accomplished by meeting the following objectives:

a. Identify all of the locations of aquatic invasive plants to be removed on site.

b. Remove all aquatic invasive plants from the site with two follow up visits to ensure complete removal through the growing season.

c. Provide a brief summary of the work conducted including the species found, estimation of amount of invasive plants removed, simple maps of the removal locations, and future treatment recommendations following each treatment.

Period of Performance:

Base plus four (4) Option Years. The base year period of performance is 12 months from the date of contract award. Each option year (if exercised) will be 12 months from effective date.
