Description

The Bureau of Reclamation, part of the Department of the Interior, is seeking vendors for a project focused on monitoring juvenile anadromous Oncorhynchus mykiss (California Central Valley Steelhead) in the Lower San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers, California. The primary objective is to enhance understanding of these fish populations to improve management and conservation efforts while optimizing water delivery and hydropower from the Central Valley Project (CVP). This multi-year study will involve estimating population sizes, demographics, survival rates, and analyzing the impacts of CVP operations on fish habitats, with work scheduled to commence on September 1, 2025, for a base year and two additional one-year options. Interested parties must submit a capability statement by April 11, 2025, to Margaret Jones at margaretjones@usbr.gov, as this sources sought notice is intended to gather market information and does not constitute a request for contract proposals.

The document outlines a Performance Work Statement for monitoring juvenile California Central Valley Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations in the Lower San Joaquin and Stanislaus River. Its primary objective is to enhance understanding of these fish species to improve their management and conservation while maximizing water delivery and hydropower from the Central Valley Project (CVP). The project involves multi-year studies to estimate population sizes, demographics, life stages' survival rates, and to analyze impacts of CVP operations on fish habitats. Key tasks include developing a Juvenile Production Estimate (JPE) implementation plan, conducting annual population surveys, analyzing age and growth metrics, and monitoring survival and outmigration rates of juvenile steelhead. The work, conducted by a contractor under a firm-fixed price contract, spans from September 2025 to August 2026, with options for additional years. Deliverables include technical memoranda, field data, analytical scripts, and project management reports, ensuring compliance with federal standards. The project ultimately aims to provide data that supports informed decision-making regarding CVP operations and aids in the conservation efforts for steelhead populations in California’s Central Valley.
