B--SOURCES SOUGHT UPDATE RIVER BASIN MODEL (RBM10)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting market research to identify qualified businesses capable of updating the Klamath Falls river basin model 10 (RBM10). The selected vendor will be responsible for analyzing the effects of recent Klamath River Dam removals on water temperature and publishing the results in a peer-reviewed journal. The scope of work includes compiling water temperature data, supporting USGS's calibration efforts, running the model for dams in and dams out scenarios, evaluating relative to previous models, and calculating key temperature metrics. The vendor will also write a manuscript and present findings at a regional science conference. • Compiling water temperature data for calibration and validation • Supporting USGS's calibration efforts • Running the model for dams in and dams out scenarios • Evaluating relative to previous models • Calculating key temperature metrics • Writing a manuscript and presenting findings at a regional science conference
