Natural Resources Support Wetlands, Edwards AFB (EAFB), CA
ELIGIBILITY: This funding opportunity is ONLY available for Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units in the Colorado Plateau CESUregion & Californian CESU region.Note: Must be a non-federal partner in the CESU Units listed above to be qualified to beconsidered.Brief Description of Anticipated Work: This project focuses on the following objectives:The primary objective of this project is to complete a floodplain delineation for lands on Edwards AFB along the west and south boundary of Edwards AFB proceeding from the southwest corner of the base. Current flood plain delineations for this area of Edwards AFB are incomplete. The Non-Federal Entity (NFE) shall use the best available science and modeling techniques to provide a conservative method to establishing an appropriate Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) 100-year and 500-year floodplains for the southwestern portion of Edwards AFB (EAFB). Use existing data sets, including the original flood assessments, as the basis of this revised study and incorporate additional meteorological records, new topographic data, remotely sensed imagery, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data, and other necessary data to perform the new hydraulic analyses. Develop hydrologic models for the undeveloped and channel areas. Incorporate these data into the FLO-2D (or similar) hydraulic model, a two-dimensional, deterministic model, used to perform hydraulic analyses and to develop regulatory floodplain maps for the 100- and 500-year floodplains.NOTE: Attached to this RSOI document you will find a DRAFT Statement of Work for your reference only. Again, at this time weare only requesting that you demonstrate available qualifications and skills for performing similar or same type of work.A full study proposal and proposed budget are NOT requested at this time.Please send responses or direct questions to: USACE Sandy Justman, Contract Specialist CESWF-CT Email: sandra.justman@usace.army.mil Office: 817-886-1073 Timeline for Review of Statements of Interest: The RSOI are required to be out for a minimum of 30 days.
