REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST NUMBER W9126G-20-2-SOI-1678 PROJECT TO BE INITIATED IN 2020 Project Title: Horse Capture and Maintenance, Fort Polk, LA. All SOIs must be advertised via www.Grants.gov, responses requested by 5:00 Central Standard Time (CST), on 27 February 2020. Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for a project to be funded by Fort Polk which provides professional and technical support for its Range Management Program in order to facilitate successful implementation of the encroachments on military readiness training lands managed by Fort Polk. Approximately $250,000 is expected to be available to support this project in the base year. Additional funding may be available for follow on work in subsequent fiscal years to the successful Recipient/Awardee. Type of Award: In accordance with section 6305 – Using cooperative agreements of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreements Act of 1977 (31 § 6301 et seq.), all projects must carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation, instead of acquiring goods or services for the exclusive direct benefit of the United States Government. In accordance with section 6305 – Using cooperative agreements of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreements Act of 1977 (31 § 6301 et seq.), substantial involvement is expected between the federal partner and the nonfederal partner when carrying out the activities specified in the project agreement. The exact nature of the government’s involvement will be defined in the statement of objectives, issued with a request for full proposal. As a result, it is anticipated that a cooperative agreement will be awarded. Brief Description of Anticipated Work: This research focuses on the following objectives: 1) Objective 1: Capture: To contain at large livestock in an enclosure that reasonably assures detention of the animals. Limitations on number of animals captured: {on Fort Polk and under the Environmental Assessment – the number of animals captured at any given time is within a loose definition of one to three bands. The EA specifically states “This COA would start with the capture of lots of horses consisting of one to three bands (10-30 horses). The intent of capturing small groups of horses over an extended period of time is to permit the various participating organizations sufficient time to move the horses through their adoption programs rather than overwhelming those organizations with all of the horses in a one to three month period.” (§2.3.7)}. Methods of capture: The method of capture is not specified, although the following commitment must be adhered to “Fort Polk intends to capture horses in the least stressful manner to the horses, provided that capture method is sufficiently efficient and successful. The preferred and intended primary method to be utilized for capture is the baiting of capture pens so that horses move into the capture pens without external pressure. The secondary method of capture which will likely be utilized is the employment of personnel to physically round up and capture the horses. Fort Polk will not use or permit the use of aircraft to drive the horses over a long distance in a swift manner for purposes of roundup and capture.” (§EA2.3) Capture by Fort Polk Personnel: FPLA reserves the right to opportunistically capture horses. In such cases, the co-opportunity partner still executes tasks 2-6 below Government furnished materials: Fort Polk has available two capture/holding pens. These pens are constructed of cyclone fence to enclose a 2 acre area. The pens have two gate access points. Within this enclosure a ¼ acre lot is constructed. The fence for this lot is constructed of wood and is six feet tall. Besides on main gate the lot also has an exit that is a 30’ long chute (also constructed of wood and fully enclosed with a slat board top. At the end of this chute is a fabricated material squeeze chute.
