**Amendment

US Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, has a requirement for Vegetation Management in the Willamette Valley and Rogue River Basin region.

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.  The Willamette Valley and Rogue River Basin Project consists of 15 interconnected dams and reservoirs as shown in Attachment A. 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. The work covered by this contract and its prospective Task Orders shall consist of performing vegetation management at sites within the Willamette Valley and Rogue River Basin in accordance with the performance-based specifications contained herein and contained in Task Orders issued against this contract. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, materials and supplies necessary to perform tree/shrub clearing, vegetative/debris clearing, herbicide application, mowing, and biological vegetation control (e.g. goats). **PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A MANDATORY SITE VISIT ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT.
