Description

The City of Greensboro Water Resources Stormwater Management Division seeks a qualified consultant to identify benthic macroinvertebrates from samples collected at 13 sites annually, for a total of 39 sampling sites over a three-year contract period. Organisms will be supplied in preserved, labeled vials. Identification must be to the lowest practicable taxonomic level, with documented quality assurance and quality control by another qualified taxonomist on at least one randomly selected sample. The contractor must prepare a species list and abundance values for each site; calculate total taxa richness, EPT taxa richness, and North Carolina Biotic Index values; determine final site bioclassifications; and deliver results in a spreadsheet and report documenting QA/QC procedures and results. Proposals should describe the technical approach, personnel and qualifications, availability, partnering or subcontracting arrangements, and a detailed three-year cost estimate. The RFP identifies certification through the North Carolina Division of Water Resources as a Certified Biological Laboratory as a special qualification criterion.
