Big Thompson Watershed Forum
Request for Proposal & Draft Scope of Work for Phase II Big Thompson River Watershed State of the Watershed Water Quality Report The Big Thompson Watershed Forum (the Forum) is requesting a proposal for developing and preparing a State of the Watershed: Water Quality Report from a consultant, research institution, graduate/PhD student or other qualified entity. Phase I, near completion, consists of an organized multi-year database for the Forum’s water quality data. Phase II (the watershed report) will consist of water quality data analysis, data assessment, and preparation of the State of the Watershed report highlighting the findings for key water quality constituents from the Forum’s flowing water monitoring sites. Phase II also includes the preparation and presentation of a one-hour Power Point summary of the report’s findings before an audience at the Forum’s 2011 Annual Meeting. The Forum’s Science and Monitoring Committee will oversee the project. View RFP and SOW below.....
