About this file
This is a Sole Source Posting from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) for a contract with Inter-Fluve Inc. to assess chum salmon spawning ground habitat in the Cowlitz River. The project is part of the Lower Columbia River recovery plan and will involve gathering existing population information, identifying population-specific limiting factors, conducting habitat evaluations, and providing recommendations for improving or creating new chum spawning habitat. The initial contract is for 14 months with a value of $200,000, with potential extensions if additional grant money becomes available. Vendors interested in the contract must submit a capability statement by 11:59 p.m. PST on April 4, 2025, to Tim Wilson, Deputy Contracts Officer.
Inter-Fluve was selected as the sole source contractor after being the only respondent to WDFW's request in the Seattle Journal of Commerce. The company specializes in watershed-scale assessment, feasibility studies, and site analysis for potential chum spawning channel creation. The contract requires the contractor to have experience with LiDAR and topographical maps, the ability to identify and contact landowners, conduct site visits, perform geo-referenced evaluation surveys, and collect water temperature and groundwater depth data. WDFW reserves the right to extend the contract if additional grant funding becomes available, with potential extensions at a similar dollar value.
