Hello Ecolog,
The National Park Service is looking for someone with herp expertise and
good writing skills to assist with the completion of three reptile and
amphibian inventory reports (for Assateague Island National Seashore,
Minute Man National Historical Park, and Saratoga National Historical
Park). The contractor – i.e., the individual actually performing the
work for this project – must be someone with a master’s degree in
wildlife biology, significant (>3 years) reptile and amphibian
experience, and a track record of publication of articles and reports
(first author on at least 5 wildlife publications with at least 2
specifically related to reptiles and amphibians).
The contractor will complete 3 reptile and amphibian inventory reports
that are currently in draft form. The final reports will match the level
of detail and format of the completed Saint-Gaudens National Historic
Site report. The contractor will be provided with draft reports and
databases for each park, and will need to review the data to make sure
that the information in the draft report matches the database. The
contractor will then need to complete the report to match the standards
of the Saint-Gaudens report. NPS will provide assistance with data
management and GIS (e.g., production of figures). In addition, Robert
Cook (NPS Wildlife Biologist stationed at Cape Cod National Seashore)
will be available for periodic consultations over the course of this
project. Robert was involved with the planning and oversight of the data
collection phase of this inventory, and is a main author on reptile and
amphibian inventory reports for several parks. The contractor should not
expect to have primary authorship on these new reports. The project must
be completed within 9 months of the award date of the contract.
Complete bid packages are due by close of business, Friday, June 18,
2010. Please e-mail [email protected]

Thanks,
