Canada Goose Management - USAG Aberdeen Proving Ground Adelphi Laboratory Center Performance Work Statement (PWS) 1.0 Introduction. The purpose of this effort is to provide Canada goose management at ALC. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Canada goose management as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), Section 5, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. 1.1 Background. ALC is home to anywhere from five (5) to ten (10) pairs of Canada geese that return each year to nest on ALC’s installation. Each year, the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Environmental Division obtains a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Depredation Permit. This permit allows DPW to oil goose eggs to prevent the population from increasing. This strategy can effective if nests are found in time but it does not prevent the health hazards associated with geese droppings left on the sidewalks. Furthermore, the egg oiling program does not prevent the safety hazards that are created when installation personnel come into contact with aggressive geese guarding their nest. Generally, on the ALC site most geese nest in the area surrounding the main complex of buildings. ALC is located in Adelphi, Maryland. The site straddles the border between two (2) Maryland jurisdictions, Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. Of the total 207 acre area, 84 acres are within Montgomery County and 123 acres are within Prince George’s County. ALC is approximately six (6) miles from Washington, District of Columbia. The installation is located within one (1) mile of the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495) and Interstate 95 (I-95). ALC lies in the Anacostia River drainage basin which is a tributary of the Potomac River. It is bordered by residential areas on the east and south and by the General Service Administration’s Federal Center on the north and west. ALC consists of four (4) main building areas with parking lots, forested lands and two stream corridors, Paint Branch and Hillandale Tributary. The ALC is home to the Headquarters for the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). ARL provides America's Soldiers a technological edge through scientific research, technology development, and analysis. The mission of ARL is to provide the underpinning science, technology, and analysis that enable full-spectrum operations. 1.2 Objectives.
