The scope of work and budget presented in this document describe the activities associated with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's resident fish enhancement project for the Coeur d'Alene Subbasin corresponding to the two-year contract period June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2028. The work elements for this project are related to planning and coordination, construction and implementation, and project administration. Total contract value is $4,430,565.

A list of spatially explicit projects was developed to address process-based objectives for each of the highest priority subbasins in the Benewah and Lake creek watersheds to meet the Coeur d'Alene Basin goal of restoring harvestable surpluses of naturally reproducing adfluvial adult cutthroat trout (Intermountain Province Subbasin Plan 2004; Firehammer et al. 2011). The prioritized subbasins encompass the distribution of adfluvial cutthroat within the target watersheds and the critical habitats used for spawning and early life stage rearing. The restoration actions included in this scope of work represent a subset of the ranked projects from this list and were identified based on the results of watershed assessments and long-term monitoring data collected as part of this BPA funded project.
