The awardee will furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, supplies, and incidentals needed to conduct plant surveys that identify every vascular plant on the provided rare‑plant and invasive‑plant lists.

Proposals must include a stand‑alone Technical Approach (no page limit) that describes the contractor’s capabilities and addresses each scope and location the offeror wishes to support, a pricing list of general hourly rates for each scope (evaluation only), a completed Locations/Scopes spreadsheet, and signed SF‑30s (page 1 with box 17A, Amendment 6 SF‑30, and Amendments 1‑5 SF‑30s). Evaluation will focus on (a) crew qualifications and experience with Upper Midwest flora—especially the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the genus Botrychium—and prior botany survey work; (b) capacity to meet the project schedule and allocate resources; and (c) past performance on government and private contracts. Offers may be qualified to limit the minimum or maximum number of bid items accepted, or submitted on an “all‑or‑none” basis.
