Spooner Meadow and North Canyon Restoration Project

The State of Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and Division of State Lands (DSL) are seeking proposals for the Spooner Meadow and North Canyon Restoration Project in Douglas County, Nevada. The project involves developing restoration design plans and overseeing construction implementation to improve the meadow environment, incorporating input from the Washoe Tribe. The timeline includes conducting meadow health assessments in Fall 2024, completing restoration design plans in Winter 2025, and beginning implementation work in Summer 2025. An optional site visit will be held on September 24, 2024. The evaluation criteria focus on methodology, previous work experience, staff qualifications, and cost, with a 5% preference for Nevada-based businesses. The contract term is expected to be four years, subject to Board of Examiners' approval, and will be funded through Nevada Environmental Improvement Program Bonds.

The procurement has mandatory requirements, including agreeing to Nevada law, not boycotting Israel, and providing indemnification and limited liability terms. Vendors must also meet insurance requirements such as commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability. The incumbent contractor for the previous phase of the North Canyon project is eligible to submit a proposal for this opportunity. The specific award value is not provided, but the total estimated budget for the project is not disclosed.
