Nuisance Wildlife Eradication

The Government is issuing this Sources Sought Notice to determine a competitive basis. This is not a solicitation. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this survey.

The Nashville District oversees ten lakes, nine dams, fourteen navigation locks, 267 recreation areas, 3,500 camping sites, and over 3,800 miles of shoreline. During the course of any given year, nuisance wildlife issues arise. These issues have ranged from removing skunks or raccoons from campgrounds to dispersing vultures, Canadian geese, and gulls. The need, however, extends beyond just removing a nuisance. For instance, other problems that the District encounters include animals burrowing into the District's earthen dams - one of which is classified as DSAC I. Being able to quickly address these invasive species prevents weakening of these structures and the failure to address them poses a safety problem. The total area covered by these services is 336,100 acres of land and 216,200 acres of water.

As part of our market research we would like to get an idea of what industry is currently pricing these types of services. Please see the listed bid item schedule and complete and return to Contract Specialist Kristal Jones at email kristal.r.jones@usace.army.mil. We realize that more information could narrow the pricing; however this should be adequate for pricing alone at this time. Please keep in mind that mileage and per diem is always priced at the government rate in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR).
