Proposers must demonstrate specified permits or progress toward obtaining them, relevant predator-management experience, proficiency with listed trapping devices, and at least three similar references. The proposal must include a work plan and schedule, project personnel details, references and experience documentation, and a detailed three-year cost proposal, along with the required State forms and certifications.
