PRRIP - ED OFFICE DRAFT <br />12/13/2007 <br />The contractor will be responsible for providing all equipment and sufficient manpower to <br />complete their study design. All proposals received will be reviewed by the Program's <br />Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to determine if the proposal addresses the listed <br />objectives and if the equipment and personal aspects of the proposal are adequate to implement <br />the written methods. The Platte River and surrounding lands are almost entirely privately owned <br />and a written access agreement will be required for each piece of property that is to be accessed <br />on a regular basis. Least terns and piping plovers are mobile species that can cover large <br />distances and access to riverine areas can be difficult. While recently nearly all least terns and <br />piping plovers have nested on sandpits, they are observed foraging in the river; therefore, it is <br />assumed that the contractor will also need access to riverine areas and should address how that <br />access will be achieved. <br />Issues of access that need to be addressed include but are not limited to the need for a four- <br />wheel-drive vehicle to access many of the areas least terns and piping plovers nest. Access to <br />active sandpits may be limited to people with mine safety training. The contractor will be <br />responsible for securing qualified and experienced services with the equipment necessary to <br />complete the study. Potential services needed depending on methods defined could include <br />airboats. <br />The contractor will be responsible for field surveys, data entry, data summary and basic analysis, <br />and report preparation. Data will be entered into Access 2003 or 2007 database provided by the <br />Executive Director's Office. Methods and draft reports will be reviewed by the Executive <br />Director's Office and the TAC to ensure scientific integrity. Publication of data collected is <br />encouraged. <br />Study Area <br />The area within 3.5 miles either side of the Platte River beginning at the junction of U.S. <br />Highway 283 and Interstate 80 near Lexington, Nebraska and extending eastward to Chapman, <br />Nebraska. When side channels of the Platte River extend beyond the 3.5 mile area a two-mile <br />area is included around those channels. <br />Timing <br />Field work will be completed during at least two nesting seasons and may be extended dependent <br />upon results and budgets. Typically piping plovers arrive in the area in mid-April and initiate <br />nesting by May 5. Least terns arrive in mid-May and initiate nesting by May 25. <br />Permits <br />Required permits will depend on the study methods but it is assumed that the birds will be <br />handled and marked in some manner requiring a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Threatened and <br />Endangered Species permit and a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission scientific collecting <br />permit. <br />Services and Materials to be furnished by the Contractor <br />The contractor shall furnish all personnel, equipment, materials, transportation, and services to <br />ensure the completion of the contract. <br />Inspection and acceptance
