- Description
- The Nebraska National Forest is seeking interested contractors to apply government provided DeltaDust in designated prairie dog colony burrows to assist in the control of fleas, which are the vectors of Sylvatic plague. A minimum of 5000 acres will be designated in 2014 but could be adjusted as high as 20,000 acres depending on funding. Designation of colonies and subsequent acres to be dusted will vary on a yearly basis depending on funding and plague movement in the area. Most, if not all work will be conducted on the Buffalo Gap National Grassland and select colonies in Badlands National Park. For each fiscal year, dusting can start when conditions allow and in coordination with the COR, but all designated colonies must be completed by 30 September of the same fiscal year. The following equipment may be provided by the Government: techniduster with battery and charger, ratchet strap, clicker, digital scale, trimble Geo XM GPS, and Delta Dust. Contractors will be required to be certified by the State of South Dakota to provide pest control services required in the proposed contract. A base year with four, one year options is anticipated to be awarded as a single requirements award contract. The use of bio-based products is anticipated in the performance of the contract.

Interested contractors will need to respond to the evaluation criteria in the solicitation which will be posted on January 16th, 2014. Neither a Pre-quote tour nor site visit is scheduled.
