Survey, Design, Layout, Construction Inspection and Checkout of Conservation Practices Associated with Installation of Conservation Systems: The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Oklahoma is seeking assistance from private sector individuals, firms and entities to assist them in the survey, design, layout, construction inspection, and checkout of conservation practices in various counties in Oklahoma. These conservation practices are on private lands and are being constructed as a component of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (commonly known as the 2002 Farm Bill) as well as other NRCS programs. Generally, work will be divided in four areas. The Northeast bordered by Interstate 35 and 40; the Southeast bordered by Interstate 35 and 40; the Northwest bordered by Interstate 35 and 40; and the Southwest bordered by Interstate 35 and 40. All plan maps and all digital data used to develop plan maps/photographs will be in UTM NAD83 projection. All digital data will be developed using GPS within 20 feet of true ground position. Digital data files and maps will be provided to NRCS in addition to paper products. One or more cooperative agreements may be awarded from this announcement. Awards are subject to the availability of funds. Cooperative agreements have been determined to be the appropriate funding instrument because NRCS anticipates being substantially involved in carrying out the work covered by the resulting cooperative agreement(s).
