The document is a bid proposal for a project involving the review and interpretation of bird vocalizations and other sounds in the EBM study area in California. The contractor is required to listen to WAV files of recordings using high-performance headphones and software like Raven to identify bird species and other sounds. The time of first detection of each species within each survey period is of primary interest. The contractor is also required to note the type of sound, audibility level, and flag vocalizations of good quality for future reference. The contractor should not spend more than 20 minutes on each 5-minute survey period, but can exceed this time limit in special cases. They should also review cardinal photographs and Google Earth plot locations to limit the scope of possible species. The data from the review of recording files should be entered into an Access database, including information on first detection, audibility, species identification, and recording quality. The contractor should also keep track of the time spent interpreting each file. The deliverables include the completed Access database, a report summarizing the work completed, and a summary of quality control. The bid also specifies the minimum qualifications for bidders, including knowledge and experience in identifying bird species, and the requirement for testing on sample recordings. The bid document provides key action dates, instructions for bid submission, and the necessary documents to be included. It also states that bids not meeting the requirements may be rejected and that costs incurred for developing bids are the responsibility of the bidder. The deadline for bid submission is mentioned, and it is noted that the Department of Fish and Game may modify the Invitation for Bid (IFB) before the submission deadline.
