PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Water Rights Improvement for Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to support completion a complex water rights transfer for Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery to ensure viable use of groundwater in the future. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform water right permitting support services necessary to modify selected water rights at Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region (Region 1) has a need for supporting water rights transfer at Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery (hatchery). The Icicle Creek Strategy, as part of the Icicle Work Group for which the Service is a partner, has a goal to ensure sustainability of the hatchery, and is a key partnership to ensure sustainability of the hatchery into the future. One tenant of the Icicle Creek Strategy is to ensure that the hatchery meets fish propagation targets in adequate numbers to meet requirements, maximize fish health, and minimize unintended fish passage impediments. This strategy includes a sufficient, diverse water supply, water conservation, and infrastructure upgrades. The hatchery relies heavily on groundwater for clean and sustainable water supply but has been underutilizing its legally permitted groundwater sources for several decades due to infrastructure limitations associated with its wellfield and other associated challenges.

Water rights permitting work is necessary to modify the rights to allow for new wells and infiltration galleries and modify the legal places of use consistent with current operations. This permitting work will involve complex change applications, due diligence on hatchery operations over the past several decades which is required for the Washington State Department of Ecology. Furthermore, stakeholder outreach is necessary as part of the public water right process, which will benefit from Icicle Creek Work Group involvement.

1.3 Objectives: The objective is to 1) prepare, file, and initiate change applications for four groundwater right claims and certificates, and 2.) complete processing change applications through the Conservancy Board and Washington Department of Ecology

1.4 Scope: The contractor shall perform services to complete water right change applications that add all existing wells and new wells sites to existing water rights and modify the place of use to a broader hatchery footprint. This work involves two phases to 1) prepare, file, and initiate process to change applications for four groundwater rights (claims and certificates) 2.) complete processing and finalize applications for these change applications through the Conservancy Board and Washington Department of Ecology.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause– Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
