Snyder Creek Dam Reconstruction Paleo Survey

The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming Region is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 140L6224Q0002 to conduct a paleontological survey of a 49-acre area surrounding the existing Snyder Creek Dam and reservoir in Fremont County, Wyoming. The contractor will be required to conduct background research and field surveys for surface fossils, exposed fossil-bearing rock, and areas where reconstruction may impact paleontological resources. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical factors being significantly more important than price. Proposals are due by November 13, 2023.

This is a total small business set-aside. The primary NAICS code is 541360 for geological surveying and mapping services. Work will include recording any localities found and submitting draft and final reports by April and June 2024, respectively, with partial payments upon report submissions. Survey areas are underlain by the Battle Spring Formation identified as having a very high potential for paleontological resources. The place of performance will be the 49-acre area surrounding the existing Snyder Creek Dam in Fremont County, Wyoming.
