Aquatic non-native invasive species (NNIS) treatment services

The State of Indiana is soliciting a firm‑fixed‑price contract (one base year with one optional year, not to exceed two years) to treat mapped aquatic non‑native invasive species (including Myriophyllum spicatum) and nuisance vegetation in the Tell City Ranger District. Contractors must hold a State of Indiana (or reciprocal) herbicide‑treatment license, use only EPA‑approved, non‑restricted chemicals, and provide all labor, supervision, equipment, PPE, permits, carriers, adjuvants, and incidentals. Work must achieve a minimum 90 % kill rate (with a 95 % target for NNIS) as measured by the Contracting Officer’s Representative; any line item failing to meet the Acceptable Quality Level will require re‑application or mechanical treatment at the contractor’s expense. Offerors must submit a detailed operational plan covering crew size, production rates, flood‑season strategies, and a work schedule that completes all treatments before the contract end date, along with key‑personnel qualifications, certifications, and three recent performance references. Evaluation will follow FAR 12.203 criteria—Past Performance, Experience, Technical Approach, and Price—to determine best value. Proposals must include pricing for every line item, a completed Experience Questionnaire, and documentation of required licenses, certifications, and GIS (GPS/Shapefile or Avenza) capabilities. The Government reserves the right to award any line item and may consider proposals that exceed minimum requirements, though formal trade‑offs will not be conducted.
