Cuyahoga Valley Cooperative Wildlife Management
Department of the Interior Policy (505 DM 2) requires a written justification which explains why competition is not practicable for each single-source award.
The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of an activity presently being funded, and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity or completion of the activity.
The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon a variety of demonstrable factors such as location, property ownership, voluntary support capacity, cost-sharing ability if applicable, technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications.
The National Park Service (NPS) will cooperate with Cleveland Metroparks in conducting deer management activities within the boundary of Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA), which includes NPS owned lands adjacent to Cleveland Metroparks (CMP) lands.
Deer herd culling will occur on both NPS and CMP lands during the same time period (January through March).
Once deer are culled, NPS will transport carcasses to facilities owned by CMP for processing by CMP staff.
NPS and CMP staff will conduct biological and tissue sampling of deer for chronic wasting disease detection.
CUVA encompasses areas within both Cuyahoga and Summit counties.
Cleveland Metroparks owns lands within the CUVA boundary within Cuyahoga County.
Cleveland Metroparks is uniquely qualified to provide assistance to NPS in sampling and processing deer carcasses because they have been conducting deer herd reduction, sampling, processing, and donation of deer meat to regional food banks for 18 years, on their land within the CUVA boundary.
Cooperative Agreement P16AC00042 original agreement was for $17,25 0. 00 and a modification to add additional funding in the amount of $20,00 0. 00 is required to fund the current project activities.
