Wildlife Habitat Preservation Monitoring

The City of Spokane is seeking a subcontractor to monitor and implement wildlife habitat preservation during fuel reduction operations, with a requirement to identify and safeguard natural wildlife areas by leaving one unmarked, undisturbed area intact for every three to five acres treated. This effort aims to balance fire risk reduction with the conservation of local biodiversity, ensuring that ecological integrity is maintained throughout the project. All preserved areas must remain unmarked to prevent human interference and allow natural processes to continue uninterrupted. The contract calls for active monitoring to verify compliance with the wildlife preservation standard and requires the subcontractor to employ field expertise in identifying suitable habitats that meet ecological criteria. The solicitation was posted on July 14, 2026, with responses due by August 25, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services. The work is to be performed within the jurisdiction of the City of Spokane in Washington, though specific geographic details are not provided in the contract data. The subcontractor is expected to operate with precision and environmental awareness, ensuring that fuel reduction activities do not compromise critical wildlife corridors or habitats.
