UCROP ESP Forecasts
The Bureau of Reclamation seeks proposals to provide Upper Rio Grande and Pecos Basin hydrologic model calibration and configuration services. The services include compiling necessary data, recalibrating 20 hydrologic model locations in Phase 1, and providing potential additional calibration in Phases 2 through 4. Models include SAC-SMA, SNOW-17, and LAG/K. Proposals are due by March 26, 2021. The technical approach will be evaluated as more important than price.
There is no set-aside designation. The main NAICS code is 541690 and PSC code is R425. The final award will be a firm-fixed price contract for an initial base year with three option years to complete subsequent calibration phases. Deliverables consist of compiled calibration data, the calibrated hydrologic model, monthly meeting notes, quarterly reports, and draft and final project reports. Performance will take place in locations throughout the Upper Rio Grande and Pecos Basins.

The Bureau of Reclamation published a pre-solicitation notice seeking contractor services to refine and recalibrate an existing natural-flow hydrologic forecast model for the Upper Rio Grande watershed. The model update aims to include new data through Water Year 2020 and recalibrate locations using streamflow data from 1980 to 2020.
The Special Notice details a requirement for professional scientific and technical services to refine the Upper Colorado Region ESP Forecasts hydrologic model. Contractors will compile historical calibration data, recalibrate multiple model locations using SAC-SMA and SNOW-17 models, provide regular communication and quarterly reporting to Reclamation. A final calibrated hydrologic model must be delivered. The anticipated solicitation will be released on March 1, 2021 as RFP 140R4020R0017 under NAICS 541990, with a proposal due date of March 22, 2021. All interested contractors providing relevant professional services are eligible to participate.
