The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) requires a Watershed Project Plan-Environmental Impact Statement (Plan-EIS) for the Willow Creek Watershed Project pursuant to Public Law 83-566, Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. The Plan-EIS will formulate and evaluate all reasonable alternatives to prevent or reduce damages caused by Willow Creek floodwater in and around Browning, Montana. The selected contractor will prepare a Plan-EIS on behalf of the NRCS in cooperation with the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council (herein referred to as Sponsor) and in cooperation with jurisdictional Federal agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Environmental Protection Agency. Development of the Plan-EIS will feature a multi-disciplinary approach to accurately define and evaluate alternatives proposed in the Plan-EIS for technical feasibility, socioeconomics, benefits, and impacts. An aggressive schedule with milestones is required to meet the NRCS review requirements and help minimize the plan drafts and revisions. Efficient progressive project management in full cooperation with NRCS and Sponsor, is the goal of this contracting activity.
