- Description
- This is a notice of intent to go Sol Source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 for the following items and services: inSalmo Individual-Based Salmon Life Cycle Framework Model Vendor:LANG RAILSBACK & ASSOCIATES250 California Ave.Arcata, CA 95521 The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the US Bureau of Reclamation need additional technical assistance in the further development of the inSalmo model. Mr. Railsback developed the current version of the inSalmo in 2004, completing the most recent work in September of 2011. He is the technical expert and understands the unique details of the model. He has provided workshop training session to agency staff in September 2011. This workshop provided attendees with working knowledge of how to use the model. To the best of the USFWS knowledge this training has not been provided other potential contractors, so any contactor other than Mr. Railsback would need extensive training before they could attempt to develop the model further. Mr. Railsback and his associate Brett Harvey and FWS agency biologists are the only people who have a solid working knowledge of the field data used to calibrate and validate the current version of the model. His team understands the additional data that is needed to further perform model validation required in the scope of work. The selection of any other vendor will increase both time and cost to calibrate the model and Steve Railsback would have to be hired to provide them with extensive training.
