- Description
- The Contractor will provide biological services and quality assurance for the Corps of Engineers' Juvenile Fish Transportation Program at Lower Granite, Little Goose and Lower Monumental Dams and for biological services at McNary and Ice Harbor Dams. This contract will consist of a base year plus three option years. Specific tasks will include: assisting in the collection, sampling, bypass, and transport of juvenile salmonids; conducting regular facility inspections; providing assistance with gate well dipping (if needed); water temperature collection at McNary Dam; the monitoring of outside groups engaged in research at the facilities; the dissemination and reporting of information (weekly reports, and joint annual report with Corps biologists) and the coordination of activities with biologists at other operating projects. Sampling for the collection, bypass and transport of juvenile salmonids takes place daily, 7 days a week during seasonal work contract periods at Lower Granite, Little Goose, and Lower Monumental dams and every other day at McNary Dam. More limited sampling for fish condition takes place twice a week at Ice Harbor Dam at a time to be determined in the future. At McNary Dam, contract biologists are expected to collect data daily from water temperature monitoring probes located in gate wells, juvenile collection system and forebay. This data is used to guide powerhouse and fishway operations. The compiled data is used to create reports on weekly and annual basis. Because large numbers of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed fish are handled during the course of sampling and monitoring operations, prospective contractor should be able to obtain appropriate "take" permits from the National Marine Fisheries Service and state agencies before commencing work. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541712 with a size category of 500 employees. Large businesses are also encouraged to respond. This is not a solicitation.
