The AGENCY intends to award one contract to provide the services described in this RFQQ. In consultation with GSRO and the Science Advisory Panel (SAP), the CONTRACTOR will complete a monitoring inventory for salmon and steelhead populations in the state of Washington. The project will include the following tasks: 1. Work with GSRO and the SAP to develop and refine the most appropriate fish monitoring metrics to be inventoried across the state at the population scale and according to the budget and timeline for this project. The CONTRACTOR will also generate a list of what information should be included with the inventory of metrics (e.g. entity, timelines, purpose, notes, etc.). 2. Coordinate closely with state agencies, Tribal governments and organizations, and other monitoring partners to compile existing information and gather new information on the status of monitoring efforts. 3. Consult with SAP members on a regular basis to guide and adapt the project as needed. 4. Provide a table showing the status of fish monitoring metrics at the population level, and including the information identified in step 1. 5. Present results of inventory to SAP, Council of Regions, and Washington Salmon Coalition.
