Engineering for Fish Counter/Camera Project
The Nisqually Natural Resources Department on behalf of the Nisqually Indian Tribe is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for interested Engineers or Engineering Firms with experience in Fisheries projects to submit proposals for the fish Counter/Camera system project. This project is to engineer and design the picket system to channel returning adult Salmon into customer purchased Vaki Riverwatcher fish counter/camera system to be installed within the existing vertical slot fish ladder steps of Centralia City Lights diversion Dam located outside of Yelm WA.
