R--Public Participation Support for the Anacostia River

NAICS Code: 541820 EPA is in need of services to implement to encourage public participation in the work that EPA and its partners are engaged in the remediation and restoration of the Anacostia River. These outreach activities include educating and involving citizen stakeholders in the work of EPA, the US Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies and organizations working to improve the Anacostia. Such outreach activities include informing interested citizens about the Anacostia clean up efforts through a public forum; reaching out to citizen stakeholders living in the District of Columbia, east of the Anacostia River; creating a watershed-wide leadership training institute; creating a public information center on Capitol Hill near the Anacostia; and sponsoring on-water tours, explanations and monitoring of the Anacostia River for business leaders, students and others. The EPA intends to award a purchase order on September 23, 2003 under FAR Part 13.106 on a single source basis to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
