RECOVERY--C--TASK ORDER NO 0018 FOR WATER QUALITY MODEL OF COTTAGE GROVE, DORENA, FALL CREEK AND FERN RIDGE RESERVOIRS

The Portland District Corps of Engineers plans to issue a task order under a previously awarded AE IDIQ contract to AECOM Inc., utilizing Recovery Act funding. The task order aims to develop detailed plans and specifications for modeling temperature dynamics in five reservoirs: Cottage Grove, Dorena, Fall Creek, Fern Ridge, and another specified reservoir. This will be accomplished using CE-QUAL-W2, version 3.0 or newer, a two-dimensional water quality modeling tool developed by the Corps. The primary objective is to simulate water release temperatures and in-lake temperature profiles throughout the year across the historical period of record, providing comprehensive temperature data essential for reservoir management and environmental analysis. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330 and is managed by the Portland District office of the Department of Defense, located in Portland, Oregon. The task order, titled "RECOVERY--C--TASK ORDER NO 0018 FOR WATER QUALITY MODEL OF COTTAGE GROVE, DORENA, FALL CREEK AND FERN RIDGE RESERVOIRS," was posted in May 2009. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to utilize advanced modeling techniques to support water quality and resource management objectives in multiple Oregon reservoirs, leveraging AECOM’s expertise under the existing indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract framework.
