Description

Funding may be available through the USFWS Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to complete Phase I of the Lower Deer Creek Falls Fish Passage Project. Deer Creek is a tributary to the Upper Sacramento River near Vina, CA, in southeastern Tehama County. An initial passage assessment completed by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) within the last two years determined that the existing ladder structure on Deer Creek did not meet CDFG/National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) fish passage criteria. The USFWS requests submission of proposals for 1) a fish passage assessment; 2) development of a range of alternatives to implement any needed repairs and/or modifications; 3) completion of a final engineered design and an engineer’s cost estimate for repairs and/or modifications based upon selection of a preferred alternative by a Technical Advisory Committee; and 4) development of a Quality Control plan for the proposed data collection/analysis. A field visit is scheduled for March 30, 2012. If you are planning on submitting a proposal, it is strongly encouraged that you attend.
