DESCRIPTION
Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Northwest (NAVFAC NW), Naval Base Kitsap Bangor (NBK), Washington, in support of the Environmental business line (EV), is conducting preliminary planning market research to obtain information from potential and eligible contractors to perform Falcon Services to harass problem birds (primarily Glaucous-winged Gulls) from multiple waterfront pier areas. The general scope of this market research is to identify interested sources with gull abatement and falconry service expertise in order to successfully meet the performance objectives in accordance with the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS).
Trident Refit Facility (TRF), located at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor, has a waterfront pier area. Due to the proximity of the piers to the water, roosting and nesting gulls are a nuisance, causing both a safety and health concern for the TRF employees due to the amount of gull excrement in the vicinity of personnel’s office areas. The ammonia smell enters the buildings from the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and building vents, open doors, etc. TRF is requesting a Falcon Service to harass the problem birds from the area, to prevent the problem birds from causing both a safety and health concern.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
The Performance Objectives are to:
1) Reduce gull population by 90 percent each day while onsite (on average), reducing the hazard to personnel and facilities.
2) Comply with all safety and security requirements of the WRA.
3) Communicate effectively with Navy personnel throughout the course of the contract.
