Dollar ridge fire restoration project

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) intends to negotiate a sole-sourced award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(i) with the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) in support of the Dollar Ridge Fire Restoration Project. UDWR has taken on the responsibility to procure the services of a firm with expertise in river restoration in the context of wildfire to restore the affected river corridor and watershed areas damaged in the fire which BOR and UDWR share affected land. The forthcoming solicitation for these services will be competed through the State of Utah's procurement process.

The Bureau of Reclamation has determined that the award of these funds to the UDWR is the best method at this time to address the restoration of the impacted area to not duplicate efforts already being made by UDWR to stabilize the burned area.

Any firm that believes it could fulfill the Government need described herein must submit a capability statement to Lyndi Bell at lbell@usbr.gov by 2:00PM on Tuesday 15 September 2020 for consideration. However, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to make the final decision on source selection in the best interest of the Government.
