This requirement is for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Title: WESTERN-CENTRAL, ALBERTA (WCA) WATERSHED, FLUVIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY ASSESSMENT AND FISH HABITAT RESTORATION PLANNING
Fisheries and Oceans Canada has a requirement for the services of a fluvial Geo-morphologist to assist with conducting habitat assessments and design of a fish habitat restoration plan based on the science of fluvial geomorphology. The work is to be carried out in Western - Central Alberta. The work is time sensitive with assessment, conclusions and plans to be completed by July 31, 2015. There may also be a requirement to attend court to speak to findings. A court date, if required is to be determined at a later date. In order to afford the federal government enough time to prepare appropriate documentation to support the court brief, all materials must be submitted no later than October 31, 2015.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada is currently engaged in assessing a large volume water release and requires expert opinion on the effects of the release as it relates to fish habitat, hydrology, natural channel function and valley stability.
Fisheries and Oceans anticipate that an expert in the field of fluvial geomorphology will be able to conduct an analysis of an aquatic ecosystems’ responses to a sudden large water volume releases into its aquatic environment. The contractor will articulate the effects on the stream ecosystem. The contractor’s findings will include engineered stamped drawings clearly showing the necessary stream restoration to be carried out and advice on long-term monitoring of the restoration works completed. These findings will also be incorporated into the preparation of an expert report on the effects of large volume water releases.
The objective of this contract is to assess an aquatic ecosystem as it relates to mining operations/practises in Western Central Alberta (WCA). The contractor will utilize the science of fluvial geomorphology to provide expert assessment, conclusion and advice with relation to a select mining site in WCA. Expected deliverables include assessment documents, engineered stamped drawings, guidance and advice in support of a departmental expert report, and a fish habitat restoration plan.
The contractor will formulate an expert opinion that will be used to strengthen the Department of Fisheries and Oceans knowledge base of effects of large volume water release as a result of mining practises. It is expected that the successful contractor have the appropriate resources to contribute useful analysis and recommendations to enhance the departments understanding. The contractor must have qualified personnel, equipment and time.
The contractor’s knowledge may be presented as testimony in a court of law and as such the company will provide a representative expert to speak to fluvial geomorphology assessment and findings.
