| Abstract: |
The Bureau of Land Management is interested in achieving a better understanding of the Land Use Planning (LUP) contracting process in an effort to improve the structure of the contracting process, increase the efficiency of the contracting process, improve communication between the BLM staff and the contractors, and standardize contracting across BLM offices. To accomplish this task, the BLM contracted with the Social Research Laboratory at Northern Arizona University, through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, to conduct an assessment of the BLM’s LUP contracting process. |
