Request for Proposals - Invasive Species Management
Posted 12/4/2023
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) is seeking proposals for the development of a management plan to remove the encroaching invasive species, replace those species with native plants, and maintain the area until the native species is fully reestablished.
The Tribe also seeks proposals to implement the plan, once it has been developed.
The goal of this project is to support the removal of invasive plant species and to restore the existing landscape to a more natural and self-sustaining form, removing invasive nuisance plants and replanting the area utilizing native plants that support the prevention of shoreline erosion and encourage native edible landscape species.
Restored conditions in the designated areas will:
Provide natural green infrastructure that improves water quality along the watershed area;
Create an adequate buffer for non-point source pollution and wellhead protection;
Create an adequate environment that supports native habitat for numerous wildlife species;
Provide native sustenance foods for all species present in the area. Examples might include, but are not limited to: blackberries, elder, blueberries, rosehips.
The Contractor will work directly with the Natural Resources Department staff.
The bids will be reviewed as received. Please label all proposals: “Invasive Species Management RFP”. Bids will be reviewed at the Tribal administration building during regular work hours as received. The bid will remain open until filled. Letters of interest may be mailed to: Natural Resources Department, 20 Black Brook Road, Aquinnah, MA 02535; faxed to 508 645-3790; or emailed to isa@wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov.
Requests for additional information and full scope of work may be made to Beckie Finn, Environmental Programs Coordinator, Wampanoag Natural Resources Department at (508) 645-9265x143, envcoord@ wampanoagtribe-nsn.gov.
