Construction - installation and removal of Acoustic Telemetry Stations throughout California Delta

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), California Water Science Center has a requirement for pile driving construction services for the installation and removal of Acoustic Telemetry Stations throughout Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, in the Lower Sacramento River, and the lower San Joaquin River. USGS operates and maintains a monitoring network in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta since the 1970¿s and over time, as technology improved, and monitoring needs changed, the network has expanded to include more locations and additional parameters. The overarching goal is to collect flow, water quality, and fish movement data at stations throughout the region. To support this monitoring objective, there is a need for infrastructure maintenance or modification at some of our existing stations and a need for additional infrastructure at new locations.

This action will be an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract under which task orders for individual or groups of sites can be issued.

All relevant project documents will be made available electronically to interested parties at no charge with the Request for Proposals (RFP). We expect the RFP to be available in late July 2021 with proposals due approximately 30 days thereafter.
