REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NO. 23 - 001 (Cont'd.):  ATTACHMENT "B" 

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 

1. Location. This Green River and New Fork Transit Loss Study, hereinafter referred to as the  "Study," is seeking proposals to evaluate and quantify transit losses in the Green River (from Warren  Bridge to Fontenelle Reservoir), and New Fork River (from New Fork Lake to Green River), from this  point forward described as the “Study Area” (Figure 1). 

2. Purpose. The purpose of this Study is to quantify the transit loss associated with stream  reaches in the Study Area. Understanding system input and output variables in key reaches of the  Study Area and its tributaries is of high value to carrying out this task. Streamflow in Wyoming is  impacted heavily by diversions delivering water rights, but an additional impact on streamflow,  regardless of water right delivery presence, is transit losses. Transit losses occur from a stream  system and include evapotranspiration from riparian vegetation, evaporation from open water,  bank storage, and groundwater recharge. Stream reaches in Wyoming have varying degrees of  data available to understand transit losses. The first task of this RFP will be to evaluate gaps in  the existing data being collected. The second task in this RFP is a proposed method(s) to answer  the remaining Study objectives. 

The Study seeks to answer the following questions: 

1. What is the essential data needed for a transit loss investigation?  

2. Where/what are the missing essential data (i.e. data gaps) within the Study Area?  What additional tools (e.g., stream gages) are necessary to address any data gaps?  3. What is the transit loss contribution of each reach of the Study Area throughout a  water year?  

4. What are the contributing variables and magnitude of variables to transit loss in each  reach of the Study? 

   3. History. The SEO is tasked with overseeing and protecting water rights in Wyoming. There are  historical studies quantifying transit losses or characteristics outlined in this         RFP, but no recent study has been completed, nor were previous studies able to provide definitive transit loss calculation methods as requested within this RFP. 


B. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: 

1. Monthly Progress Reports and Billing Statements 

The Consultant shall submit a brief monthly progress report outlining the Study status, progress,  and results to date, regardless of whether or not a billing statement is submitted, on or before the  last working day of the month. 

Each billing statement must include a task-by-task report justifying the cost items contained in the  billing statement. The monthly progress report may be used as the justification for the billing  statement as long as all cost items covered in the billing statement are addressed in the progress  report. 

2. Computer Models, Geographic Information System (GIS), Statement of Assumptions,  Project Work File 

a. If the Consultant writes or uses a computer program or spreadsheet as a part of this project,  the Consultant shall submit to the SEO for approval all proposed program names and data formats  prior to beginning work on that task. All data shall be submitted to the SEO in written and digital  forms with the final report. Digital media shall be labeled by the Consultant to provide sufficient  detail to access the information on the media. User manuals shall be submitted by the Consultant  to the SEO providing complete documentation of computer programs developed under this project.  The user manuals shall also contain the source code language and the type of computer equipment  necessary to operate the program(s). The computer programs and spreadsheets (written and digital  forms) are due on the same date as the final report, which contains the information generated by  the programs. 

The Consultant shall adhere to the following GIS standards: 

(i) FEATURE MAPPING. The Consultant shall acquire the appropriate Geodatabase  Template for feature mapping from  

http://water.geospatialhub.org/search?groupIds=3e77928b1d0d49858b8916ca63ca5ca4 prior to  any GIS work. Five Geodatabase Templates are available and are specific to project type. These  templates define the organization and naming requirements for feature classes, tables, and the  required attributes within the feature classes. Data needed for the project and described in this  contract may include core data or auxiliary data. Core data includes features which fit within one  of the feature classes in the Geodatabase Template, whether newly created or acquired from  another source. All core data shall be loaded into the Geodatabase Template. This shall include  populating all relevant field attributes with contract number, primary consultant, date modified,  and accuracy being required. In certain circumstances, the consultant may need to provide a  second set of core data in a format for the benefit of the project sponsor. This would occur when  a project sponsor already has GIS data in a format that differs from the SEO format, or when an  alternative format would provide more benefit to the sponsor than the SEO format (e.g., a  different coordinate system, or database structure). In these situations, the consultant will provide 


(ii) core GIS data using the Geodatabase template, and a second core GIS dataset in the format that meets the needs of the project sponsor. Auxiliary data sets include features which  do not fit within one of the feature classes in the Geodatabase Templates, whether newly created  or acquired from another source. The auxiliary data can be linked to the templates or managed  separately as needed for project completion.  

(iii) FORMATS and STANDARDS. Metadata are required for each included feature class and table (including those obtained from another source) and for each newly created feature. If a  feature class in the template is not populated or field attributes are not populated indicate the reason for this in metadata. A detailed example for feature class metadata is provided in the Geodatabase Templates. This includes required information and default language, where appropriate, for each of the five metadata sections. Feature-level metadata requirements are also described in the Memorandum. Codes or values created for attribute fields, which are not already included as part of the core data templates, shall be defined in the metadata. GIS data shall be saved in a Decimal Degree Coordinate system with a NAD83 datum, specifically “GCS_North_American_1983." In addition to the Project geodatabase(s) and map file(s), GIS  deliverables may also include linked nonspatial data/databases (.accdb, .xlsx), rasters (various  formats), photographs (.jpg), maps (.pdf), and file integrated metadata references (.xml, .txt).  Core data shall be delivered within the Geodatabase Template. Auxiliary data can be provided as .shp files and metadata are required. 

(iv) MAPS. Project GIS deliverables shall be organized in such a way as to allow easy replication of the maps found in the final project report. The GIS project files shall be provided as ESRI ArcGIS .mxd, or .aprx files saved with relative path names to data sources. 

b. To facilitate the SEO’s accurate evaluation of the Consultant's work product, computations, conclusions and recommendations, the Consultant shall: 

(i) Include in the final report a section describing the assumptions and methodology used by the Consultant in generating the data and conclusions contained in that chapter. 

(ii) Maintain a project work file containing the materials and all raw data1 used in project analysis. This file will be available for review by the SEO and should be organized in such a way as to allow replication of the steps and procedures used by the Consultant to reach the conclusions described in the Study. 

(iii) Prepare a project notebook containing a description of the assumptions and methodologies used in the project analysis. The notebook shall be organized in such a way as to allow replication of the steps, calculations, and procedures used by the Consultant to reach conclusions, described in the draft final report. The project notebook shall be submitted with the draft final report.

4. Final Report 

The Consultant shall use the Contract Scope of Services as the outline for draft and final reports  so that Consultant compliance with Contract provisions can be verified. If the final report contains  information of an engineering nature, the cover of the final report, all plates, and the executive  summary must be stamped and signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of  Wyoming. If the final report contains information of a geologic nature, the cover of the final  report, all plates, and the executive summary must be stamped and signed by a Professional  Geologist licensed in the State of Wyoming. If the final report contains information of both an  engineering and geologic nature, the cover of the final report, all plates, and the executive summary  must be stamped and signed by both a Professional Engineer and a Professional Geologist licensed  in the State of Wyoming.  

5. Final Report - Digital Format 

In addition to the paper submittal described in Section C.4 above, the Consultant shall also provide  the final documents and related materials in a digital format. This digital report shall be contained  on USB drive(s), or other media as approved by the project manager, and shall be in Searchable  Image Adobe Acrobat format (pdf).  

6. Project Access

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NO. 23 - 002 (Cont'd.)ATTACHMENT "B" 

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 

1. Location. The Water Availability Impacts on Consumptive Use (CU) Study, hereinafter  referred to as the "Study," will compare annual CU data when Free River and/or Seconds are not  available across various scales in the South Piney drainage. 

2. Purpose. The purpose of this Study is to quantify the consumptive use associated with  stream reaches in the South Piney Drainage. The Study will employ all informative historical  administrative diversion data from the SEO, state-of-the-art scientific methods, remotely sensed  data, and existing observational networks, e.g., USGS stream gage network and the SEO’s  SEOflow database, to achieve its objectives. Understanding system input and output variables in  key reaches of South Piney drainage and its tributaries is of high value to carrying out this task.  Streamflow in Wyoming is impacted heavily by diversions delivering water rights, but an  additional impact on streamflow, regardless of water right delivery presence, is consumptive uses.  

The first task of this RFP will be to evaluate gaps in the existing data being collected. The second  task in this RFP is a proposed method(s) to answer the remaining Study objectives. 

The Study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What relevant data is available to inform the impacts of water availability on  consumptive use? 

2. What data gaps exist? 

3. What detectable difference in consumptive use is there during water years with and  without the availability of Free River and/or Seconds in the South Piney drainage in consumptive  use when compared to historical administrative data on the South Piney drainage? 4. What is the estimated reduced CU associated with regulating off Free River and Seconds  on a field, stream reach, and drainage scale? 


3. History. The Wyoming State Engineer’s Office (WSEO), is tasked with overseeing and  protecting water rights in the Green River Basin in Wyoming. Wyoming is a Prior Appropriation  Water Right state, and as such, administrators are tasked with the regulation of water rights across  the state. In the beginning of the irrigation season, prior to there being a “call” for regulation of  junior water right holders, the drainage is said to have access to “Free River”. Once a “call” has  been made, all diversions are regulated to their adjudicated amount. In drainages that require regulation in any given water year, under Wyoming law, irrigation water rights are adjudicated on  the basis of 1 cubic foot per second (CFS) per 70 acres. Irrigation water rights with priority dates  of March 1, 1945, or earlier, are allowed an additional 1 CFS per 70 acres, often (and herein)  referred to as a “Second”, (Surplus Water, Wyo. Stat. Ann § 41-4-318 through 324). Similarly,  irrigation water rights with priority dates of March 1, 1985, or earlier, are also allowed an  additional 1 CFS per 70 acres (Excess Water, Wyo. Stat. Ann § 41-4-329 through 41-4-331).  

Therefore, typically a stream system will begin in Free River condition. As stream runoff flow  rates decrease, water rights will be regulated to their Second (March 1945 or March 1985 priority  date), and finally regulated to their original 1 CFS per 70 acres, which has their original permitted  priority date. Detailed descriptions of these conditions can be found in the key terminology section.  As these lands and conveyance lengths may differ, when Free River and Seconds are available in  any irrigation season, they may either increase the water arriving at the field or may be used to  augment the original 1 CFS through the conveyance system to the lands being irrigated with that  water right. This scope of work describes data needs and methods that will inform the WSEO of  the reduction in CU that occurs when Free River and Seconds are regulated off or are not present. 

Water administration of the South Piney drainage of the Green River basin frequently requires  regulation to follow Wyoming’s Priority Schedule. As a result, this consistent regulation may  make the South Piney1 drainage a good example of what impacts occur to the annual CU of the  drainage when Free River and Seconds are regulated off or are not available in an irrigation  season. The Consultant will have access to 17 years of WSEO water right administration. The  impact on CU under these various conditions remains relatively unexplored in Wyoming,  particularly in data-limited settings such as those with non-telemetered diversions. However, the  presence of historical water right diversion administration data and an existing network of  streamflow gages spanning the inflow and diversions of the South Piney drainage, along with  high-resolution remotely sensed data from Sentinel-2 and Landsat satellites, offer a unique  opportunity to assess the reduced CU under these conditions. The Consultant will have access to  evapotranspiration, CU, and irrigated agricultural acreage data extending from 1991 to 2023, that  were estimated by the Bureau of Reclamation and finalized in May 20242.  

Furthermore, there is potential to investigate reductions in CU at multiple scales across the South  Piney drainage. 

B. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: 

1. Monthly Progress Reports and Billing Statements 

The Consultant shall submit a brief monthly progress report outlining the study status, progress,  and results to date, regardless of whether or not a billing statement is submitted, on or before the last working day of the month.  

Each billing statement must include a task-by-task report justifying the cost items contained in the  billing statement. The monthly progress report may be used as the justification for the billing  statement as long as all cost items covered in the billing statement are addressed in the progress  report.  

2. Computer Models, Geographic Information System (GIS), Statement of Assumptions, Project Work File 

a. If the Consultant writes or uses a computer program or spreadsheet as a part of this project, the Consultant shall submit to the SEO for approval all proposed program names and data formats prior to beginning work on that task. All data shall be submitted to the SEO in written and digital forms with the final report. Digital media shall be labeled by the Consultant to provide sufficient detail to access the information on the media. User manuals shall be submitted by the Consultant to the SEO providing complete documentation of computer programs developed under this project. The user manuals shall also contain the source code language and the type of computer equipment necessary to operate the program(s). The computer programs and spreadsheets (written and digital forms) are due on the same date as the final report, which contains the information generated by the programs. 

The Consultant shall adhere to the following GIS standards:  

(i) FEATURE MAPPING. The Consultant shall acquire the appropriate Geodatabase Template for feature mapping from 

http://water.geospatialhub.org/search?groupIds=3e77928b1d0d49858b8916ca63ca5ca4 prior to any GIS work. Five Geodatabase Templates are available and are specific to project type. These templates define the organization and naming requirements for feature classes, tables, and the required attributes within the feature classes. Data needed for the project and described in this contract may include core data or auxiliary data. Core data includes features which fit within one of the feature classes in the Geodatabase Template, whether newly created or acquired from another source. All core data shall be loaded into the Geodatabase Template. This shall include  populating all relevant field attributes with contract number, primary consultant, date modified,  and accuracy being required. In certain circumstances, the Consultant may need to provide a  second set of core data in a format for the benefit of the project sponsor. This would occur when a  project sponsor already has GIS data in a format that differs from the SEO format, or when an  alternative format would provide more benefit to the sponsor than the SEO format (e.g., a  different coordinate system, or database structure). In these situations, the Consultant will provide  core GIS data using the Geodatabase template, and a second core GIS dataset in the format that  meets the needs of the project sponsor. Auxiliary data sets include features which do not fit  within one of the feature classes in the Geodatabase Templates, whether newly created or acquired from another source. The auxiliary data can be linked to the templates or managed separately as needed for project completion. 


(ii) FORMATS and STANDARDS. Metadata are required for each included feature class and table (including those obtained from another source) and for each newly created feature. If a feature class in the template is not populated or field attributes are not populated indicate the reason for this in metadata. A detailed example for feature class metadata is provided in the 

Geodatabase Templates. This includes required information and default language, where appropriate, for each of the five metadata sections. Feature-level metadata requirements are also described in the Memorandum. Codes or values created for attribute fields, which are not already included as part of the core data templates, shall be defined in the metadata. GIS data shall be saved in a Decimal Degree Coordinate system with a NAD83 datum, specifically “GCS_North_American_1983. In addition to the Project geodatabase(s) and map file(s), GIS deliverables may also include linked nonspatial data/databases (.accdb, .xlsx), rasters (various formats), photographs (.jpg), maps (.pdf), and file integrated metadata references (.xml, .txt). Core data shall be delivered within the Geodatabase Template. Auxiliary data can be provided as .shp files and metadata are required. 

(iii) MAPS. Project GIS deliverables shall be organized in such a way as to allow easy replication of the maps found in the final project report. The GIS project files shall be provided as ESRI ArcGIS .mxd, or .aprx files saved with relative path names to data sources. 

b. To facilitate the SEO’s accurate evaluation of the Consultant's work product, computations, conclusions and recommendations, the Consultant shall: 

(i) Include in the final report a section describing the assumptions and methodology used by the Consultant in generating the data and conclusions contained in that chapter. 

(ii) Maintain a project work file containing the materials and all raw data3 used in project analysis. This file will be available for review by the SEO and should be organized in such a way as to allow replication of the steps and procedures used by the Consultant to reach the conclusions described in the Study. 

(iii) Prepare a project notebook containing a description of the assumptions and methodologies used in the project analysis. The notebook shall be organized in such a way as to allow replication of the steps, calculations, and procedures used by the Consultant to reach conclusions, described in the draft final report. The project notebook shall be submitted with the draft final report. 

4. Final Report 

The Consultant shall use the Contract Scope of Services as the outline for draft and final reports  so that Consultant compliance with Contract provisions can be verified. If the final report contains  information of an engineering nature, the cover of the final report, all plates, and the executive  summary must be stamped and signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the State of Wyoming. If the final report contains information of a geologic nature, the cover of the final  report, all plates, and the executive summary must be stamped and signed by a Professional  Geologist licensed in the State of Wyoming. If the final report contains information of both an  engineering and geologic nature, the cover of the final report, all plates, and the executive summary  must be stamped and signed by both a Professional Engineer and a Professional Geologist licensed  in the State of Wyoming.  

5. Final Report - Digital Format 

In addition to the paper submittal described in Section C.4 above, the Consultant shall also provide  the final documents and related materials in a digital format. This digital report shall be contained  on USB drive(s), or other media as approved by the project manager, and shall be in Searchable  Image Adobe Acrobat format (pdf).  

6. Project Access 

The Consultant shall be responsible for obtaining access as required for project tasks. 

7. Stand-By Time 

The SEO will not reimburse the Consultant for stand-by time charges for the Consultant's  supervisory personnel. 

D. SCOPE OF SERVICES: All information gained in the process of this Study will be  included in the draft and final reports for the project. 

Task 1. Information Review 

The Consultant shall gather and review relevant information pertaining to water impacts on  consumptive uses within the South Piney drainage within the State of Wyoming. Studies or  research performed on these river basins or in other basins inside or outside of the State of  Wyoming shall also be reviewed if they are deemed relevant to this Study. This includes  information available through the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDC), Water  Resources Data System, Wyoming State Engineer’s Office (SEO), Wyoming Department of  Environmental Quality Water Quality Division, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Natural Resources  Conservation Service, United States Geological Survey (USGS), and any other sources as  appropriate.

Task 3. Data Aggregation 

The Consultant shall identify all appropriate data within South Piney drainage for the purposes of  evaluating the impact of water availability on consumptive uses  

Task 4. Consumptive Use Measurements  

The Consultant shall utilize sufficient measurement data set(s) including time scale (historical  and/or current), seasonality of data, and means and methods to quantify the impacts water  availability has on consumptive use. Consultants will determine what detectable difference in  consumptive use there is due to the availability of Free River and/or Seconds above that of the  original 1 CFS per 70 acre water supply. This will be done, using available, historical water use  data and SEO administrative data on the South Piney drainage. Consultant will conduct the above  assessments on the field, stream reach, and drainage scales. The methodology ultimately selected  must be fully described in the final written report with all supporting data. The Consultant may  propose a method(s) to meet objectives and in doing so, adhere to the prescribed practices and  limitations defined by the methodologies selected.  

Task 5. Regional Tool and Procedures Development 

The Consultant shall characterize and quantify consumptive uses for the South Piney Drainage  and all applicable stream reaches. This method and/or tool should incorporate all necessary  data for the proposed South Piney Drainage and components to be utilized on all future  assessments. The Consultant, in coordination with the project manager and the SEO, will  develop methodology and guidance for the use of this method and/or tool. Within the guidance  provided, the tool shall be applied to the measurement sites chosen to provide examples of the  method’s use.

Task 6. Recommendations  

The Consultant shall develop recommendations relating to the improvement of consumptive use  estimations. These recommendations may identify additional opportunities for refinement and  areas of further study. The Consultant will provide cost estimates and possible funding  opportunities for additional research.
