Description

Tahoe Yellow Cress FBO Announcement The Tahoe National Forest anticipates awarding a non-competitive contract to BMP Ecosciences for the continuation of the implementation of the Conservation Strategy for the Tahoe Yellow Cress (Rorippa subumbellata) (Pavlik et al. 2002) for the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the U.S. Forest Service. The strategy outlines goals and objectives intended to facilitate recovery of Tahoe yellow cress, improve populations, and guide management and conservation activities to secure its survival into the future and to prevent the need to list the species under the Federal Endangered Species Act and allow the States of Nevada and California to downlist or delist this species under their respective endangered species acts. The program of work is a continuation of activities performed by BMP Ecosciences that commenced in 2000 with the drafting of the strategy, followed by implementation in 2003, which included collection of seed, oversight of nursery activities (propagation and maintenance), experimental design and implementation of mitigation studies, continued implementation and monitoring of outplanting/translocation studies, continued water relations study, development of a survey protocol that will detect a sustainable metapopulation dynamic, and fulfilling reporting requirements as specified under the strategy. Implementation is expected to continue through 2010. The key management questions and research and adaptive management framework for Tahoe yellow cress were also developed by BMP Ecosciences. They have provided the necessary scientific expertise for the experimental design and implementation of statistically robust studies on the ground. Vendors believing they can meet this requirement must submit written information showing clearly that they are able to meet the requirements stated above. All information must be received no later than 2 pm PST, April 3, 2006. Mail to Tahoe National Forest, 631 Coyote Street, Nevada City, CA 95959, Attn: Contracting, or FAX to (530) 478-6126. See numbered note 22.
