Description

The California Department of Water Resources is soliciting canine forensic survey services to identify potential historic and prehistoric human remains, burial sites, bone material, Tribal cultural resources, and archaeological resources associated with the Delta Conveyance Project. The contractor must provide experienced historic human remains detection specialists and certified canines trained in scent-specific historic human remains detection, capable of working across varied terrain and on surveys exceeding 50 acres. Canines must have current vaccinations, including rabies, and proof of personnel and canine certifications and vaccinations must be submitted with the bid. Services include project coordination, background review, site reconnaissance, survey planning, on-the-ground canine detection surveys, GPS documentation of alerts, field notes, and final reports for each survey location. Initial work will cover three mitigation sites, with additional surveys potentially required elsewhere within the project footprint. The anticipated agreement term is five years, with no guarantee of work. Award will be based on the lowest responsible bid meeting the specifications.
