- Description
- Notice of Intent: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to award to the Colorado State University (CSU) a requirement for the development and execution of a biological study plan for evaluation of injury to young life stages of fish subjected to standard open channel energy dissipation structures. Fish injury assessment tests will be conducted for three standard spillway designs. CSU will assist in selecting fish species; identify sources of test fish and determining the number of test fish needed to meet standard statistical goals for comparative testing. CSU has a Larval Fish Laboratory, which is required in order to partner with hydraulic engineers at Reclamation's Water Resources Research Laboratory. CSU will be primarily responsible for evaluating the injury or mortality sustained by test fish during the experiment. Injuries to the eye, de-scaling, visual bruising and other signs of trauma should be evaluated as an injury classification. Injury analysis will be conducted at the CSU facility. Reclamation has identified Colorado State University's laboratory, based on it's proximity to the Denver Federal Center, Denver, Colorado, as the only source capable in performing this study. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP).
