The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program is soliciting proposals from consultants to conduct a reconnaissance-level study of alternatives to optimize the use of existing groundwater recharge projects for reducing streamflow deficits at Grand Island, NE. Potential options include recapture wells and/or an outlet from Elwood Reservoir to Plum Creek.
The full scope and appropriate methods for performing analyses will be developed collaboratively by the Program's Executive Director's Office (EDO) and the Consultant after selection.
Proposals will be accepted until 5:00 P.M. Central Time on Tuesday, July 18, 2023.
A mandatory virtual pre-proposal meeting for interested parties will be held via Microsoft Teams on Thursday, June 29, 2023 from 12:00-1:30 P.M. Central Time.
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.
The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (Program) is soliciting proposals from Consultants to provide engineering services associated with re-evaluation of past alternatives and development of new alternatives to increase conveyance capacity through the North Platte chokepoint reach. For the purposes of this study, the North Platte chokepoint extends from below the Tri-County Canal diversion dam on the Platte River to a few miles upstream of the Highway 83 bridge that crosses the North Platte River at North Platte, Nebraska.
The full scope and appropriate methods for performing analyses will be developed jointly by the Program's Executive Director's Office (EDO), the Chokepoint Planning Workgroup, and the Consultant after selection and prior to performing the analyses.
Proposals will be accepted until 5:00 P.M. Central Time on Friday, April 14, 2023.

The Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (PRRIP -or- Program) is seeking candidates for one (1) open seat on the Independent Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) in 2023. The ISAC evaluates the implementation, analysis, and synthesis of PRRIP science and provides independent scientific counsel and advice to the Governance Committee (GC), the decision-making body for the PRRIP. The ISAC is currently composed of six (6) members covering a wide range of areas of scientific expertise. This is an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary panel of independent science experts from around the world that provides actionable scientific counsel to one of the most successful collaborative endangered species recovery programs in the nation. The PRIPP is seeking a new ISAC member who is an expert in fluvial geomorphology with specific expertise and experience as described below:
Fluvial geomorphology (sediment/morphology/alluvial river focus). Expertise in and experience with science disciplines related to sand bed river restoration including hydrology, eco-hydraulics, sediment dynamics/transport, and hydrologic/hydraulic modeling. Prefer familiarity with these techniques in the context of challenges related to non-stationarity, channel capacity limitations, and infrastructure.
