Sources Sought - Natural Resource Management Work

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District intends to solicit a Blanket Purchase Agreement for natural resource management services at four Green River Area lake projects, with responses due August 7, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated.

Work is performed at Barren River Lake, Green River Lake, Nolin River Lake, and Rough River Lake in Kentucky. Contractors must be located within 125 miles of Nolin River Lake (2150 Nolin Dam Rd, Sweden, KY); those outside this radius will not be considered. NAICS code is 561730 (Landscaping Services) with a small business size standard of $9.5 million.

Services span lake and shoreline management (boat dock removal and relocation, buoy installation, debris removal), trail management (construction, maintenance, hazard clearing, terrain restoration), vegetation and forestry management (tree and shrub planting, hazard tree removal, brush clearing), and recreation infrastructure (signs, traffic control devices, day-use area maintenance). Offerors must demonstrate rapid mobilization capability—full teams and equipment deployed to project sites within 7 to 10 calendar days of official notice—and document commercial diving and diving inspection experience. Project examples must show current completion percentage, completion dates, scope and size, self-performed work percentage, and similar past projects exceeding 90% completion or completed within five years.
