- Description
- The purpose of this announcement is to provide notice that the USDA Forest Service intends to make a firm fixed price, sole source award to DJ Case and Associates, Mishawaka, IN, for the development of an online, interactive tool based upon the Adaptation Workbook in the document Forest Adaptation Resources (FAR): Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers (GTR NRS-87; www.nrs.fs.fed.us/pubs/40543). The workbook presented in the FAR was developed through the Climate Change Response Framework project as a decision making tool to help natural resource managers and land owner climate change information into natural resource management at a variety of scales. An adaptation workbook contained in the FAR has been used by a variety of public, tribal, non-governmental and private organizations to integrate climate change considerations into diverse natural resource management projects. The intent to make this sole source award is based on an unsolicited proposal received which demonstrates meritorious methods, approaches, concepts, socioeconomic merits, and the potential contribution of the effort to the USDA Forest Service mission. The integration with My Land Plan is a primary component of the Workbook tool, but becomes non-viable without the unique qualifications of DJ Case. DJ Case has developed the My Land Plan forest planning application (www.mylandplan.org) in consultation with American Forest Foundation, and currently performs all maintenance and development of the website and application. DJ Case is uniquely capable of providing administrative access, expertise, and technical assistance for the integration of My Land Plan and the Adaptation Workbook tool. This ability to modify both the My Land Plan application and the new tool is required to develop an application programming interface (API) that will allow data to be transferred between the two programs. Additionally, structure and content added to mylandplan.org to accommodate new capabilities provided by the Adaptation Workbook application can also be provided solely by DJ Case. This announcement is published as a sole source in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. This is not a request for competitive quotes. The intent of this announcement is for informational purposes only. However, all information received by 10:00 a.m. (CST), June 10, 2014 will be considered by the Government.
