The U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution (U.S. Institute) is soliciting expressions of interest, assurances of availability, statements of qualifications, and cost quotations from highly skilled individuals to provide consensus building services in the capacity of Chair of the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee (the Committee). The Committee is a FACA-exempt, multi-stakeholder committee as described in Section 5018 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (WRDA 2007), see https://www.mrric.org, composed of representatives from Federal agencies, States, tribes, and non-governmental and local governmental stakeholder interests in the basin. The Committee is a collaborative forum for providing consensus recommendations to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on endangered species recovery activities in the Missouri River Basin and the ``study'' outlined in WRDA 2007. The Chair will assist the Committee in consensus building efforts with support of a facilitation team contracted through the U.S. Institute. The selected Chair will work in close partnership with the U.S. Institute and facilitation team, the Committee, and representatives from the lead agencies (USACE and USFWS) from May through December of 2009, to convene Committee meetings and support work group activities in order to provide consensus recommendations to the agencies. The work of the contracted Chair will be evaluated before the final Committee meeting of the year (November 2009). If the Committee, the U.S. Institute and the lead agencies agree, the contract will be extended for another year, contingent on the availability of funds from the lead agencies. The solicitation may be accessed at: https://www.ecr.gov and at: https://www.mrric.org. This notice invites interested individuals to review the solicitation and provide a description of their services and expertise as described in the solicitation.
