Added: Jul 09, 2015 4:15 pm The overall purpose of this proposed work is to provide AM expertise and guidance in the development of an overarching AM Plan for the least tern, piping plover, and pallid sturgeon on the Missouri River. While a range of AM related tasks are identified in this PWS, experimental design and design of the monitoring and assessment program are of particular importance and focus for this contract. The selected contractor must have demonstrated experience in population modeling, experimental design, and monitoring and assessment approaches for endangered and/or rare species. Demonstrated experience in designing and authoring AM Plans for major river systems and endangered species management is required. The MP/EIS is relying heavily on a Structured Decision Making (SDM) process to aid in the planning effort; therefore, knowledge of SDM, how it relates to AM, and knowledge of decision analysis of alternative management actions is also required.

The scope of services will be professional consulting in the development of a comprehensive AM Plan. This will include providing guidance and advice to the lead federal agencies, and leading discussions with the MRRIC and ISAP/ISETR.
