This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service's intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. OVERVIEW The National Park Service's (NPS) Rocky Mountain Inventory and Monitoring Network (ROMN) monitors long-term stream ecological integrity and water quality in network parks. An important aspect of this work is to sample and analyze water chemistry/quality. NPS-ROMN staff will take water chemistry/quality samples at many locations in ROMN parks. NPS-ROMN staff will process the samples in the field and deliver them to the University of Colorado Boulder's Kiowa Laboratory for analysis. Kiowa Laboratory staff will complete the laboratory analyses and deliver the data to NPS-ROMN. NPS-ROMN will work with Kiowa Laboratory staff to identify potential errors and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) the data, and interpret patterns in the sample results resulting in a ...
