Key deliverables include an interactive web-based or desktop GIS viewer, a spring prioritization matrix based on ecological, cultural, hydrological, and recreational significance, a validated monitoring methodology with quality assurance plans, and the initial monitoring of at least one spring including a full quality control report and staff training. The total contract value is not to exceed 115,000 dollars, with payment terms set at 2/10 Net 45 unless otherwise agreed upon at award. Proposals must be submitted electronically to the Office of Natural Resources by September 24, 2026, at 5:00pm CST.

All inquiries should be directed to Christopher Rogers.
