The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Colorado requires services for the development of Wetland Reserve Plan of Operations (WRPO) for land enrolled in the EWPP-FPR, WRP and ACEP programs. WRPOs are needed to identify how the wetland functions and values will be restored, enhanced and managed to accomplish the goals and objectives of the EWPP-FRE, WRP, and ACEP programs. The WRPO is designed to maximize wetland and wildlife habitat benefits (see attached RFQ package and attachments for further information). The performance period of this award is estimated to begin on June 30, 2022 and continue through August 31, 2023 and will result in a Firm Fixed Priced Commercial Award. Contract award will be granted to the firm that represents the best value to the Government.
