Sources Sought Notice: Monitoring Adult Anadromous O. mykiss in the Lower San Joaquin and Stanislaus River Notice Number: BORBDO0034-A The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Interior Region 10, California-Great Basin, Division of Acquisitions, Supply and Services Branch, Sacramento CA is seeking interested vendors to provide long term fish studies at the Stanislaus River and Lower San Joaquin Drainage, California. The scope of the project includes monitoring and research that will enable Reclamation to accomplish the following objectives. 1. Enumerate the abundance of anadromous adult O. mykiss returning to spawn in the Stanislaus River. 2. Estimate the return timing of anadromous adult O. mykiss and how that relates to variable flow and temperature conditions. The scope of work focuses on the adult O. mykiss life-stage. The overarching aim of this project is to generate data and analyses that can inform ongoing steelhead life-cycle and decision-support models while working collaboratively with Reclamation. The need for this project is to improve baseline knowledge of O. mykiss abundance and ecology in the San Joaquin drainage. Doing so will enable Reclamation to minimize potential impacts of CVP operations on O. mykiss population dynamics and the expression of anadromy in this species. In collaboration with Reclamation, the Contractor shall: 1. Develop a monitoring plan (MP) focused on quantifying the abundance and timing of returning anadromous adult O. mykiss in the Stanislaus River, and 2. Collect tissue samples (i.e., fin tissue, and scales) from O. mykiss greater than 16 inches for genetic analyses and length-at-age (LAR) reconstruction. 3. Quantify the annual abundance of adult O. mykiss returning to spawn in the Stanislaus River. The geographic scope of the work is split between the Stanislaus and Lower San Joaquin River, California.
