Description

Scope of Work Task 1 ?????? Installation and Removal The contractor will install government owned and supplied Hydrolab MiniSonde total dissolved gas (TDG) probes at Chief Joseph Dam on the Columbia River, Libby Dam on the Kootenai River, and Albeni Falls Dam on the Pend Orielle River. The contractor will install two TDG probes at Chief Joseph Dam, one TDG probe at Libby Dam, and two TDG probes at Albeni Falls Dam by 1 April 2004. The contractor will maintain two additional TDG probes to be dedicated to Chief Joseph Dam, one additional TDG probe to be dedicated to Libby Dam, and two additional TDG probes to be dedicated to Albeni Falls Dam. The TDG probes will be maintained until 15 September 2004, after which time the Corps of Engineers will remove the probes. Task 2 ?????? Calibration and Maintenance The contractor will calibrate and maintain the TDG probes following the US Army Corps of Engineers Northwest Division (USACE-NWD) Data Quality Criteria protocol provided in Attachment A. The calibration and maintenance will include, but not be limited to , the following points. Calibration and maintenance will be performed on a two-week cycle. TDG probes will be rotated on a two-week cycle at each station. The ??????extra?????? TDG probe for each site will be lab calibrated before its rotation into the field. Once it is deployed, the probe will be field calibrated and checked as described in detail in Attachment A. Laboratory calibration forms, field inspection forms, and field calibration logs will be completed during every field visit to the site, and will be provided to the Corps of Engineers within a week of each site visit. The contractor will prepare monthly calibration reports for all sites and provide them to the Corps of Engineers on a monthly basis. Task 3 ?????? Emergency Site Visits In the event that the TDG system exhibits problems, such as data are not updated, data are outside of acceptable parameters, no data available etc., the contractor will visit the site within forty eight (48) hours of the problem notification, and correct t he problem, if possible. In the event that real-time data reporting is not feasible, the contractor will work with the Corps to update the TDG database via post-processing of data. Task 4 ?????? Data Review The contractor will review the quality of the data to identify and deal with questionable data. The data review process will include visually looking at the tables of data, filling out a data quality checklist, flagging questionable data, and evaluating h ow to best deal with suspect data (either by correcting the data or by deleting the data), and post-processing of data. Task 5 ?????? Data Analysis and Reporting The contractor will provide the Corps of Engineers with a year-end water quality data report documenting the overall performance of the TDG probes with respect to data reliability, data quality, and data completeness. The contractor will follow USACE-NWD data quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols. An example of a water quality QA report can be found at: http://www.nwd-wc.usace.army.mil/tmt/wq/tdg_and_temp/2002/app_i.pdf. Schedule The contractor??????s services will continue through the end of the year 2004. Installation, calibration, and maintenance will be conducted from 1 April 2004 to 15 September 2004.

Deliverables The following deliverables will be required as part of the completion of this project: Deliverables Description Field and laboratory calibration forms Sent to the Corps project manager within a week of each site visit. Monthly progress reports A brief memorandum to be delivered to the Corps project manager that provides an update on data quality collected by the TDG probe, including laboratory and field inspection/calibration forms. Year-end water quality report Includes a review and analysis of data QA/QC.
