- Description
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award on a Sole-Source basis for a Native American Policy Team Facilitator and Mediator to Lucy Moore Associates. The contractor requires a very unique skill set which limits competition. The contractor must have expertise in the Federal/Tribal government-to-government trust relationship and attendant trust responsibilities of the Federal government. The contractor must have demonstrated expertise in bridging the cultural gap that exists between these two constituencies and in facilitation and mediation of remedies and solutions to conflicts that often arise in culturally diverse negotiations. The overall objective of this effort is to establish and implement a new and higher level of commitment of the Service that reaches beyond the obligatory relationship regarding the government-to-government status of Indian tribes. The updated Native American Policy may identify the Service as the principal trustee in fish, wildlife, and plant conservation. The scope of opportunities and implications in this approach is extremely broad and by combining the expertise of executives, DOI Office of the Solicitor attorneys, and DOI Office of Collaborative Action and Dispute Resolution (CADR) an optimal solution is envisioned. To reach this goal in a manner that demonstrates equitable inclusion of all parties and addresses potentially litigious policy decisions, the skill and demonstrated capability of a third party contracted facilitator and mediator is a necessity. This Notice of Intent closes on Friday, May 2, 2014. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
