UNIT IDENTIFICATION CODES WHICH APPLY TO LETTERKENNY ARMY DEPOT ARE AS FOLLOWS: W0H91Q Field Office IMMC W0L6AA USA Depot Letterkenny W39Z02 OSC LEAD Munitions W459AA USA TMDE Attachment 1 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) FOR Aerial Deer Surveys 1.0 General: 1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, quality control and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Aerial Deer Surveys as defined in this PWS, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. 1.2 Background: Letterkenny Army Depot is soliciting offers to conduct five thermal infrared imaging (FLIR) surveys to determine white-tailed deer population on approximately 18,400 acres. Surveys shall be done using an aerial radiometric infrared camera. Survey aircraft are required to be equipped with properly functioning Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to assist in aircraft guidance and flight recording. Helicopter, fixed winged or drone aircraft may be used. Performing an aerial deer survey is very important in determining the abundance and distribution of white-tailed deer on Letterkenny Army Depot. LEAD's Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan requires that the wildlife on the installation be managed to ensure the long-term health, viability and productivity of the forests and natural landscapes on LEAD. White-tailed deer are perhaps the most influential wildlife species in the forest ecosystem. Through selective browsing of native plants, shrubs and trees, they influence the vegetation that grows and the health of the forest. Deer also influence other wildlife species and other forest values, and can impact their own habitat. Overabundance leads to malnutrition, disease, increased vehicular accidents, and loss of ecosystem health. Currently, the deer population is estimated through vehicular ground surveys and harvest results although the accuracy of the data is unproven at this point. Performing aerial deer surveys in the late winter for 5 consecutive years and comparing that data to our existing data would provide a more accurate baseline of the deer herd abundance and distribution. This would allow the Natural Resources Office to make more effective decisions in terms of the deer harvest to ensure a healthier ecosystem and maintain a sustainable population. 1.3 Period of Performance (POP): The Period of Performance shall be one Base Year of 12 months and four 12-month option years. The Period of Performance will be identified in the contract. 1.4 General Information: 1.4.1 Recognized Holidays: The following are recognized US holidays.
