The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has launched an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the administration of the St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Watercraft Inspection Steward Program (WISP). All bids must be received by Wednesday, April 16th, at 11:00 AM.
This IFB is to obtain contractual services to implement a three-year plan to provide stewards for the St. Lawrence River-Eastern Lake Ontario Watercraft Inspection Steward Program to conduct courtesy inspection of boats, educate the public about aquatic invasive species and how to prevent their spread in the St. Lawrence River, Thousand Islands, and eastern Lake Ontario Region as well as inland lakes and rivers.
