- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue a Request for Quotation for a firm fixed-price purchase order for the assessment of impacts of spawning gravel additions on geomorphology and spawning habitat in Clear Creek. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541690 and the related small business size standard is $7 Million. This procurement is set-aside for Small Business concerns only. Solicitation 09SQ200075 will be posted to http://ideasec.nbc.gov on or about April 30, 2009. The date for receipt of proposals will be approximately May 15, 2009. The solicitation must be downloaded at the above website; no paper copy of this solicitation will be distributed. Prospective contractors MUST be actively registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database at http://www.ccr.gov to be eligible for award. Questions concerning this solicitation should be directed to bmahoney@mp.usbr.gov. The requirement consists of the following items: Task 1 - Project Management - The contractor shall a) send one or two representatives, as requested and needed, to monthly Clear Creek Team meetings to serve as technical experts in geomorphic matters related to project design and monitoring. Meetings usually held in either Anderson or Redding, California. b) prepare monthly progress reports describing status of each task contained in this contract. c) meet with the contracting officer's technical representative up to 6 times per year to discuss status and progress of work. Task 2 - Aerial Photographs - The contractor shall conduct an aerial flight of Clear Creek from Whiskeytown Dam to the Sacramento River confluence. The portion from the Sacramento River to Clear Creek Road Bridge will be ortho-photos, while the reach from Clear Creek Road Bridge to Whiskeytown Dam will not be ortho-photos but will be rubbersheeted to fit the LiDAR and existing topography. Exact specifications shall be determined by Reclamation and the contractor after review of potential costs. Photographs shall include the entire project footprint for the Channel Restoration Project including Phases 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 3c, Reading Bar, and all borrow areas. Task 3 - Conduct a Longitudinal Profile - The contractor shall conduct a longitudinal profile from Whiskeytown Dam to the confluence with the Sacramento River. Data collected shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, streambed elevation, water surface elevation. Profile shall be constructed with shots taken approximately every 30 feet between the dam and the confluence. Profile shall also include locations of all past, active, and known future spawning gravel injection sites. Task 4 - Monitor Topography Below Injection Sites - Contractor shall conduct two (2) in-stream topographic surveys at, and downstream, of each of the following gravel injection locations: Whiskeytown Dam, Below Dog Gulch, Above Peltier Valley Bridge, Paige Bar, Above NEED Camp, Below NEED Camp, Placer Road Bridge, Clear Creek Road Bridge, Reading Bar, Below Saeltzer Dam (City of Redding), Phase 3A and Phase 2A. Surveys shall be conducted during the summer, following the rainy season, only if flows of sufficient magnitude occurred to move gravel at injection locations. Topographic surveys shall document downstream movement of spawning gravel. Surveys should extend downstream to capture gravel's leading edge. For in-stream and lateral berm injection sites contractor shall survey, if feasible, topography of the gravel injection prior to its movement by high flows. Task 5 - Map Redd Location Versus Potential Spawning Habitat - Obtain GIS database(s) of Chinook salmon and steelhead redd locations and potential spawning habitat maps/data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Red Bluff. Using a GIS database and the aerial images produced in task 2, produce three sets of maps showing redd locations, potential spawning habitat, and maps combining redd locations and potential spawning habitat for the reach between Whiskeytown Dam and the confluence with the Sacramento River. Task 6 - Potential Spawning Habitat Change Over Time - Assess and quantify, to the greatest extent possible, changes in the amount of potential spawning habitat located between Whiskeytown Dam and the confluence with the Sacramento River. Analysis will use all available historic information, including reports/memos from 1954, 1970, 2001 and the 2009 dataset produced in task 5. Task 7 - Gravel Transport Calculations and Analysis - Calculate sediment transport rates at the bottom of reach 1 (near NEED Camp) and reach 2 (near Clear Creek Road Bridge). Data collected shall be used to refine gravel augmentation strategy as presented in the 2006 Update to the Clear Creek Gravel Management Plan. Contractor shall secure access to sampling sites such that data can be collected at their own discretion, volition and frequency. Task 8 - Compare Talus, Lateral Berm, Channel Relocation Restoration, and Instream Methods of Spawning Gravel Injection Methods. Review available information relating to Central Valley Projects, focusing on Clear Creek if possible, regarding: spawning gravel injection projects, spawning gravel movement, potential habitat created, and use of potential spawning habitat by spawning anadromous fish. Where data is available, compare the types of spawning gravel injection methods to determine the following: 1) rate of gravel entrainment, 2) amount of potential spawning habitat created by projects, 3) cost per ton of gravel placed, 4) cost per unit (e.g., square foot) of potential spawning habitat created. Analysis should focus on determining cost/benefit relationship between various injection methods and locations.
