A | 78521 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | BPA requirements | Manage and Administer Accounts (BPA requirements)
Contractor must sign the contract and mail it back to the COTR. Other than expenses incurred as part of the pre-authorization award, no invoices will be paid by BPA until the COTR receives the signed contract. The COTR must be in receipt of contractor-signed copy of contract before the end of January 2011. | $7,000 | 0.33% | 12/01/2010 | 09/10/2011 |
B | 78520 | 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. | $7,000 | 0.33% | 04/01/2011 | 11/30/2011 |
C | 78522 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Obtain permits for array deployment, smolt monitoring facility use, and Animal Care Review Permits | Permits or approvals must be secured for four aspects of the project:
1. Permits from government agencies for deployment of permanent equipment on sea or river bed.
2. Permission must be obtained from federal hydrosystem facilities for Contractor’s presence during tagging operations and access to animals and requisite holding facilities.
3. Take permits must be obtained from NOAA
4. Take permits must be obtained from the State of OR.
5. An animal care permit must be renewed to cover off the surgery done by the tagging crews. | $38,981 | 1.82% | 12/01/2010 | 04/30/2011 |
D | 80299 | 70 | Install Fish Monitoring Equipment | Redeploy and Extend Physical Layout of the COAST Array | Sub-array receivers detect acoustic signals transmitted from tags surgically implanted into smolts. Each fish transmits a distinct code which allows Kintama to track the movements of individual fish after release. In 2011 we will redeploy acoustic sub-arrays at Astoria Bridge, Willapa Bay and Lippy Point. In addition, we will extend the physical layout of the Coastal Ocean Acoustic Salmon Tracking (COAST) Array to depths of 500 m in order to extend the array beyond the (assumed) edge of the smolt spatial distribution, and deploy an additional sub-array south of the Columbia R at Cascade Head on the Oregon coast. | $909,501 | 42.46% | 12/01/2010 | 05/31/2011 |
E | 78526 | 158 | Mark/Tag Animals | Surgically Implant Smolts with Acoustic Tags | Kintama will follow its protocols for fish surgery (www.kintama.com/protocols.htm). A minimum of 800 tagged smolts is anticipated. | $659,520 | 30.79% | 12/01/2010 | 10/01/2011 |
F | 78527 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Collect Acoustic Detection Data | The detection sub-array receivers at Astoria Bridge will be recovered using a commercial diving team sub-contracted by Kintama after smolts have migrated from the river.
Detection data from the three coastal ocean sub-arrays off Willapa Bay (Washington, 40 km north of the Columbia River mouth), Cascade Head (Oregon, south of the Columbia River mouth), and Lippy Point (NW Vancouver Island, 500 km beyond Willapa Bay) will be uploaded after smolts have migrated past (sub-arrays will remain in place on the seabed). In addition, Kintama will have access to detection data from 3 further ocean sub-arrays in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, northern Strait of Georgia, and Queen Charlotte Strait that are owned by the Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) group of which Kintama is a member.
The data will be processed as per Kintama's SOP. | $143,146 | 6.68% | 12/01/2010 | 11/30/2011 |
G | 78528 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Statistical Analyses and Interpretation | Data uploaded from the receiver array will be analyzed to verify quality & internal consistency. Analyses conducted will be as follows:
a) Quality control checks to verify tag and surgery metadata validity and subsequent entry into the 2011 database
b) Quality control checks to verify array metadata data validity and subsequent entry into the 2011 database
c) Quality control checks to verify tag detection data validity
d) Analysis of array data to:
• Estimate cumulative and segment-specific survival data for each experimental release group of fish, using the Cormack-Jolly-Seber estimation methodology
• Compare survival estimates of IR migrating Snake River and upper Columbia River yearling Chinook smolts
• Compare survival estimates of transported and IR migrating Snake River yearling Chinook smolts
• Calculate rate of movement and travel time to sub-arrays from release locations
• Plot horizontal distribution of smolts on coastal sub-arrays to examine the proportion of smolts migrating offshore of the continental shelf (>200 m depth)
• Prepare animations of smolts migration for visual representation of detection data and for presentation at conferences | $112,572 | 5.26% | 04/01/2011 | 11/30/2011 |
H | 80452 | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | Coordinate with Other Projects in the Region | Kintama with coordinate with CRITFC staff for genetic stock identification of tagged smolts collected in spring 2011.
Kintama will initiate discussions with NOAA and DFO regarding developing a methodology for analyzing the relationship between early marine survival of salmon smolts from the Columbia River basin (estimated with acoustic data) and oceanographic indicators & fish health data collected by NOAA and DFO. | $63,542 | 2.97% | 04/01/2011 | 11/30/2011 |
I | 78531 | 161 | Disseminate Raw/Summary Data and Results | Disseminate Data and Results | Kintama will provide tagging and detection data to both the Hydra and POST on-line databases. Hydra is an initiative supported by NOAA, USGS, CRITFC and other researchers from groups using VEMCO equipment within the Columbia River estuary.
Kintama will participate in any workshops organized by the Action Agencies, and any follow up associated meetings: the aim being to develop a coordinated approach to the application of acoustic technologies that meet regional research goals as directed under the BiOp or other ESA-related priorities, and for the FY 2011-2012 funding cycle. | $37,864 | 1.77% | 02/01/2011 | 11/30/2011 |
J | 78530 | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Submit 2011 Annual Progress Report | 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 project as a whole. The date ranges will be agreed upon by the CO and the Contractor, and this may possibly not coincide with the contract period. This progress report will conform to BPA guidelines. | $162,960 | 7.61% | 11/01/2011 | 11/30/2011 |
