16 The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (Program) was initiated on January 1, 2007
17 between Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado and the Department of the Interior to address
18 endangered species issues in the central and lower Platte River basin. The species considered in
19 the Program, referred to as "target species", are the whooping crane, piping plover, interior least
20 tern, and pallid sturgeon.
21
22 A Governance Committee (GC) has been established that reviews, directs, and provides
23 oversight for activities undertaken during the Program. The GC is comprised of one
24 representative from each of the three states, three water user representatives, two representatives
25 from environmental groups, and two members representing federal agencies. The GC has named
26 Dr. Jerry Kenny to serve as the Program Executive Director (ED). Dr. Kenny has assembled a
27 Program Staff located in Nebraska and Colorado that is responsible for assisting in carrying out
28 the various Program-related activities.
29
30 The GC submits this Request far Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from contractors to design,
31 implement, and maintain a custom database and web site for the Program. A significant part of
32 the Program is related to the implementation of the Land, Water, and Adaptive Management
33 Plans, which will result in the acquisition of assets and data. There are currently on the order of
34 40 monitoring programs and research activities that will be undertaken during the First
35 Increment (13 years) of the Program. Many of these efforts will be multi-staged or faceted and
36 will be inter-related with one another. The collection of data by numerous contractors,
37 cooperators, agencies, and Program Staff necessitates a centralized database that will
38 permanently store, organize, and distribute scientific and administrative data and information.

40 II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
41 The Database System (System) will provide a centralized, secure, long-term storage warehouse
42 of Program data and reports, facilitating consistency in data collection and reporting over time
43 and within individual projects. It will also ensure that data from different projects can be
44 spatially and temporally linked so that investigators can analyze trends over time and space.
