- Description
- This announcement is not a request for proposals and there is no solicitation available. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Contracts Group, intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with the University of Washington's College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences for a research study in support Reclamation's efforts under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) Habitat Program in the Columbia River Basin. The December 2000 National Marine Fisheries Service's Biological Opinion for the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) requires Reclamation to conduct a research, monitoring, and evaluation (RM&E) program to analyze the effects of habitat improvement efforts. The University proposes to develop applications in the use of remote sensed imagery classifications that will: compare the ability of various types of remote sensed imagery to identify habitat features relevant to anadromous salmonids, and track land use and land cover change over time. Reclamation already has a time series (1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000) of raw LANDSAT TM imagery. Under this project the University will produce a series of geospatial datalayers containing the various classified land use and land cover categories for each year in the remote sensed imagery time series; and a manuscript submitted to peer reviewed scientific journals descriptive of that resulting dataset and the procedures and protocols which were used in its creation. The Bureau of Reclamation has a LANDSAT ETM+ scene, as well as IKONOS 1m panchromatic and 4m multispectral images. They intend to produce a final product that is a geospatial data layer(s) containing various land use and land cover categories, as well as manuscripts submitted to peer reviewed scientific journals addressing the preparation of these data, a description of the composition and configuration of the resulting land use and land cover data, and an assessment of the data application to fish habitat models. Parties who believe they have sufficient knowledge of the ESA Habitat Program and related geospatial issues sufficient to perform this study may send a research proposal demonstrating their qualifications to the address listed above (1150 N. Curtis Road, Boise, ID Attn: PN-3715). No phone or fax inquiries will be considered.
