This requirement is 100% set aside for Small Business. This combination synopsis/solicitation is to establish a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) (also called a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC)) contract. The contract area of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) consists of dams and reservoirs within Jackson, Linn, Lane, and Marion counties of Oregon.

Each of these dams and reservoirs require a Vegetation-Free Zone to allow reliable access to, and along, applicable levees, floodwalls, embankment dams, and critical appurtenant structures in all flood damage reduction systems.

The Vegetation-Free Zone allows access by personnel and equipment for surveillance, inspection, maintenance, monitoring, and flood fighting and provides unobstructed space for construction of temporary flood-control structures. Access is typically by four-wheel-drive vehicles, but occasionally requires larger equipment such as tractors, bulldozers, dump trucks, and helicopters.
