RECOVERY--S--Noxious Weed Treatments/Reclamation of Disturbed Areas, Garrison Project Office

This contract action was accomplished using other than competitive procedures because a statute exists that expressly authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made from a specific source or through another agency (FAR 6.302-5); specifically, Sole source awards under the 8(a) Program. Per FAR 6.302-5 a J&A is not required for this award. In order to halt the continued spread of invasive weeds, weed treatments need to occur on any new outbreaks as well as previously treated areas. In coordination with USACE Garrison Project personnel, the Contractor shall treat weeds within the Garrison Project perimeter (approx. 95,000 acres depending on lake level) as needed throughout the seasons on a on call basis. The Contractor shall provide equipment, labor, supervision, supplies and materials in order to accomplish the following tasks: noxious and invasive weed treatments (Task 1), and re-vegetate/rehabilitate disturbed native prairie (Task 2).
