	Sort Order	WE ID	Work Element Name	Title	Description	Primary Focal Species	Secondary Focal Species


	A	119	Manage and Administer Projects	Administer Contract	All administrative tasks shall be fulfilled on time and with quality products. Timely responses to requests for more information are required. Proactive communication between the contractor and BPA's Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) is required if a significant lag in scheduled delivery is expected.
	B	122	Provide Technical Review and Recommendation	Test and Evaluate New Technologies to Improve Data Management	The fields of computer hardware and software and field data collection are evolving very rapidly at the current time. It is important for the ITMD Project to identify new technologies that can improve accuracy or velocity of research and/or provide economic advantages to CRITFC and the tribes. For these reasons, the ITMD staff will investigate technologies and tools that will help in data management and disseminating the information we find to the tribes and other Accords project leads at CRITFC. Investigations will include: • The structure, advantages, and economics of moving data centers into cloud technologies • The use of integrating R scripts directly in SQL Server • Other tools and technologies as, and if, we identify during the fiscal year
	C	132	Produce Progress (Annual) Report	Produce (Annual) Progress Report for CY 2018	The progress report summarizes the project goal, objectives, hypotheses, completed and uncompleted deliverables, problems encountered, lessons learned, and long-term planning. Examples of long-term planning include future improvements, new directions, or level of effort for contract implementation, including any ramping up or ramping down of contract components or of the whole project. The report will include details of accomplishments for each work element in the contract and will succinctly document contract performance for the public record. Progress reports must conform to BPA guidelines. See the ''formatting guidelines'' link at the Technical Reports and Publications page: https://www.cbfish.org/Help.mvc/GuidanceDocuments.
	D	160	Create/Manage/Maintain Database	Create/Manage/Maintain Tools, Applications, and Databases for Pilot and Production Projects	Continue updating and developing tools, applications, and databases to build capacity within member tribes and CRITFC to better manage monitoring data from field collection to computer entry (from stream to screen). Updating and developing successful tools and applications for field operations improves the speed, accuracy, and ease of data entry, aggregation, and reporting within the tribal programs and for data sharing with co-managers.
	E	160	Create/Manage/Maintain Database	Continued support of the data capture and management system using the Anoto digital pen technology.	Over the past several years, the ITMD Project has developed and deployed field data capture systems based on the Anoto digital pen technology. NPT, YN, and WS tribes, and CRITFC use these systems to capture, manage, and report on data during the fish and habitat field seasons. These systems will continue to evolve and new applications of the technology will likely occur. Hence, the ITMD Project will continue to support these tools and likely build more applications as needed by project leaders.
	F	160	Create/Manage/Maintain Database	Complete a pilot CDMS implementation for three tribes and CRITFC	Cost-share funding from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Exchange Network (EN) grant ($499,915.52) will increase progress towards establishing CDMS at the NPT, CTWSRO, and YN tribal fisheries programs and CRITFC. The Umatilla natural resources program already has a functioning The ITMD Project has directly funded (and found other sources of funding) this goal in the past and for this contract will continue to dedicate staff time to establishing and maintaining CDMS systems at the tribes and CRITFC. Work under this contract will focus on training tribal members in the effective use of the CDMS system to achieve tribal data management goals. A second focus will be to implement an automated upload of data from each CDMS into the CAX regional repository. The project is also trying to think long-term and develop cost-efficient ways to support data management efforts in an uncertain future, e.g., using cloud technologies to reduce the costs associated with tribal data centers
	G	160	Create/Manage/Maintain Database	Consolidate / Transfer Regionally Standardized Data - Assist Data Producing Projects	The ITMD Project does not produce data, but assists many data producing projects with data management support. Using tools, applications, and databases the ITMD Project assists CRITFC and tribal staff with their projects to consolidate collected data into their repositories and/or databases and assists with transferring data to regional repositories/ databases as requested.
	H	185	Produce CBFish Status Report	Periodic Status Reports for BPA	The Contractor shall report on the status of milestones and deliverables in Pisces. Reports shall be completed either monthly or quarterly as determined by the BPA COTR. Additionally, when indicating a deliverable milestone as COMPLETE, the contractor shall provide metrics and the final location (latitude and longitude) prior to submitting the report to the BPA COTR.
	I	189	Coordination-Columbia Basinwide	Coordination-Columbia Basinwide - attend/hold regional and tribal meetings and workshops	The ITMD Project will host at least one annual Tribal Data Workshop for member tribes after Calendar Year 2018 ends. Provide briefings and summaries to relevant CRITFC and tribal staff about meetings attended with the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP), StreamNet, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NPCC), and the Tribal Data Workshop, or meetings with staff of other relevant entities related to discussions on regional data management directly associated with CRITFC member tribes’ Fish and Wildlife programs.
