   The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), Division of Environmental Protection, require Wetland Monitoring and Assessments within the exterior Boundaries of the Flathead Indian Reservation, specifically in the Little Bitterroot Watershed. The contract period will run from June 15, 2013 to December 15, 2013. Wetland Assessments will be completed using Montana Department of Transportation Wetland Assessment Methodology - 2008 Version.
Phase II - Watershed Land Cover Change
   Evaluate and report on watershed-level wetland function and condition for a sample area in the Little Bitterroot River Watershed modeled after the Mission Creek Watershed Land Cover Change Report 2012. The dates of comparison are 1982 and 2011. Imagery for 1982 is already interpreted, but will be reinterpreted to include upland data, and will be compared with imagery from 2011. Imagery from 2011 will be interpreted and the maps generated from the interpretation will be used for comparison of land cover change between time periods. Acreage for each cover class will be calculated and tables for each date will be generated. Differences between the 1982 and the 2011 will be calculated. A final land cover report will detail changes and include imagery with noted differences and summary tables of data.

Tribal Contractors who wish to receive Indian preference must obtain certification by the Indian Preference Officer as a legitimate Indian-owned business prior to submission of bids.
