The information provided in this announcement is all information the Government has available at this time. There are no specifications, drawings, bid packages, or source lists available. A description of the work to be performed follows: The Riparian Habitat Establishment Model (RHEM) is a variably saturated flow and plant growth model built upon the widely used HYDRUS 2-D code (Simunek, et al, 1999). The model incorporates the rigorous computation of moisture movement in the root zone provided by HYDRUS 2-D with specific plant growth routines for modeling cottonwood seedling growth. These routines allow for an accurate simulation of the following effects on seedling survival: soil water availability; plant responses to soil moisture stress; rates of leaf and root growth; and atmospheric conditions. The model was developed to work in concert with a suite of models Reclamation is developing to study the implications of reservoir management changes on the Sacramento River on the regeneration of riparian forests. This scope of work details tasks that are required to further enhance the capabilities and accuracy of RHEM for simulating cottonwood seedling growth processes that were documented during field experiments conducted at UC Davis. Tasks include RHEM Modifications, Calibration and Validation. Central Contractor Registration (CCR) and Annual Representations and Certifications, as required by FAR 4.1102, apply to this procurement. Prospective contractors must be registered prior to award. Lack of registration in the CCR database will make an offeror ineligible for award. Information on CCR registration can be obtained via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov. Information on annual Representations and Certifications can be obtained via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov.
