Contract Description:
Contract Description: The Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program (ISEMP, 2003-017-00) is an ongoing collaborative effort to design, test, implement and evaluate Status and Trends Monitoring for salmon and steelhead populations and their habitat, and watershed-scale Effectiveness Monitoring for management actions impacting salmon and steelhead populations and habitat in the Interior Columbia River Basin.
ISEMP explicitly addresses work requirements of many 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion RPAs (56.1, 56.2, 56.3, 57.1, 57.2, 57.3, 57.4, 57.5) and is directly related to additional 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion implementation strategy requirements and recommendations. ISEMP takes a pilot-project approach to the research and development of monitoring by implementing experimental programs in several major subbasins of the Interior Columbia: the Wenatchee, Entiat, Methow, John Day, South Fork Salmon and Lemhi River basins. The overall goa... l of the project is to provide regional salmon management agencies with the data, information and tools necessary to design efficient and effective monitoring programs.
Specifically, ISEMP generates quantitative guidance on and examples of: the robustness and limitations of population and habitat monitoring protocols, indicators and metrics; sampling design approaches for the distribution of monitoring effort in time and space; analytical approaches to the evaluation of monitoring data, information and programs; effective data management and communication designs that support the use, standardization and compilation of implementation, compliance, status, trends and effectiveness monitoring data by regional data generators and decision makers; and finally the design and implementation of watershed-scale restoration actions to maximize both the biological impact and associated learning opportunities resulting from the design and implementation strategy.
Through its work to date, ISEMP has developed expertise in the coordination and implementation of large-scale monitoring data collection programs. Applying this experience, ISEMP coordinates the installation, maintenance and calibration of in-stream PIT tag arrays across the Snake River basin and is designing and coordinating the implementation of a Columbia River basin-wide stream habitat status and trends monitoring. These programmatic implementation facets of ISEMP leverage previous experience with logistics and social factors to effectively implement comprehensive, standardized monitoring research and development at an unprecedented scale.
This contract is one of several contracts that will implement this project. Each contract is responsible for an end of contract progress report. Additionally, a project level "synthesis report" will also be produced under this project and data and analysis from this contract will be utilized in the production of that project level report. The synthesis report is a deliverable under the Terraqua contract (not this contract) under this project. Under this contract, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will collaborate with ISEMP and other participating agencies ( Terraqua Inc., Yakama Nation, and US Fish and Wildlife Service) to conduct fish tagging and monitoring surveys at status and trend sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins.
Technical methodologies for all work conducted under this SOW will follow protocols specified in the following document unless changes to these methodologies are mutually agreed to by Terraqua, Inc. and YN: Hillman, T.W. 2006. Monitoring strategy for the Upper Columbia Basin: Draft report August 1, 2006. Prepared for Upper Columbia Regional Technical Team, Wenatchee, Washington, and Nelle et al 2010.

In order to coordinate among Project elements, the need for any changes in scope that may arise during the implementation of this SOW will be communicated to NOAA Fisheries and Terraqua, Inc. (by contacting Chris Jordan (1 541 754 4629) and Mike Ward (509-486-2426)). Actual changes to this SOW must be approved by BPA.

Column filters help you find the rows you are interested in by hiding the rows that don"t match your criteria
To filter a column using text, type one or more letters into the filter field
To filter a column using a numerical expression, type numbers and =, <, >, >=, or <= symbols.
To filter a column to a range of values, use n1..n2, where n1 represents the start value, n2 represents the end value, and two periods are used to capture all values in between.
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.
Integral to the contract' s success, however the following work is funded by non-BPA sources.
Assemble, gather, acquire, or prepare documents in support of obtaining environmental compliance from BPA (such as filling out a NEPA Checklist, providing maps, obtaining permits, conducting public involvement activities, completing an archaeological survey, etc.). Ensure a compliance letter has been received, or is still valid, prior to commencing any affected work.
Integral to the contract' s success, however the following work is funded by non-BPA sources.
Manage on-the-ground efforts. Also covers administrative work in support of on-the-ground efforts and in support of BPA's programmatic requirements such as metric reporting, financial reporting (e.g., accruals), and development of an SOW package (includes draft SOW, budget, spending plan, and property inventory).
Conduct fish monitoring at up to 50 status and trend sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat
From 2004 through 2010 ISEMP used snorkel surveys to generate abundance indices, which have proved useful but limited in the types of biological data that can be collected. Beginning in 2011 status and trend monitoring for fish populations in the Upper Columbia will use a new protocol based on a fish monitoring protocol designed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ISEMP for monitoring fish abundance, survival, and growth by capturing/sampling/tagging fish in the Entiat Intensively Monitored Watershed. This will bring the Upper Columbia in line with the fish monitoring protocols in the John Day and Salmon subbasins and the effectiveness monitoring in the Entiat IMW, and allows for better exploration of fish/habitat relationships.
This work element provides for the WDFW to provide four (4) crew members to assist a multi-agency crew lead by Terraqua to conduct fish monitoring under the ISEMP's status and trend monitoring study in the Wenatchee and Entiat River subbasins.
PIT tagging juvenile salmon and steelhead for status and trend monitoring
The WDFW will be part of two, four-person crews tagging juvenile anadromous salmonids using Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags at up to 50 sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat River subbasins as part of ISEMP status and trend monitoring.
Submit Progress Report for the period (3/1 2013) to (2/28 2014)
WDFW will generate brief activity report, focusing on fiscal accountability that outlines work accomplished, disposition of resources used and status of contract inventory. This report will not be technical in nature or content, that is, no data or results will be presented.
Under this contract, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will collaborate with ISEMP and other participating agencies ( Terraqua Inc., Yakama Nation, and US Fish and Wildlife Service) to conduct fish tagging and monitoring surveys at status and trend sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins. The results of this work will be coordinated, compiled, and submitted to BPA by Terraqua Inc., using the BPA-supplied reporting templates for the RME and RPA reports (both the RM&E Technical Report Template and Annual RPA report will be generated at the project, or ISEMP, level). Each contract holder within the project will provide the necessary information to complete these reports, and the overall report production and completion will be coordinated and delivered as part of the Terraqua contract under this project[(By March 1st each year) (Required only if FCRPS BiOp association identified for the project)
Description: If you support an ESA BiOp RM&E RPA, electronically submit a Final Annual BiOp RPA Report of work conducted for the calendar year for upload into Taurus for FCRPS BiOp or as appendix to annual report for other BiOps for upload in Pisces and notify you BPA COTR and RMESupport@bpa.gov that the report is complete.]
