With this RFP we are soliciting proposals to provide hydraulic modeling services. The Program’s objective is to obtain 2-D hydraulic modeling results that allow for quantification of water coverage, depth, velocity, and other hydraulic metrics at various flow levels on the Lower Platte River for the purpose of better understanding pallid sturgeon habitat. The full scope and appropriate methods for performing analyses will be developed collaboratively after selection and prior to model development.  See the attached documents for the RFP and supplemental information.
