Background
The US Geological Survey (USGS) requires professional dive services to maintain, install, and remove underwater oceanographic and water monitoring equipment in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay in northern California. The USGS does not have an internal diving cadre and seeks to contract external vendors specializing in diving services to support their hydrological monitoring efforts. This contract aims to ensure the continuous operation of critical water monitoring stations, which are essential for accurate data collection regarding California's river systems.

Work Details
The contractor will provide all necessary dive and safety personnel and equipment for assigned tasks. Key responsibilities include:
- Providing at least one certified safety diver/observer present at all times during dives.
- Operating their own vessel/watercraft for planned dive operations unless USGS vessels are deemed adequate.
- Conducting operations according to their commercial diving safety policies and procedures.
- Advising USGS personnel of any safety issues immediately.
- Maintaining all licenses, certifications, and training requirements necessary for the work.

Specific tasks may include:
- General station maintenance
- Cleaning submerged instrumentation
- Replacing missing/damaged hardware
- Securing scientific instrumentation to existing infrastructure
- Adjusting equipment locations as needed
- Clearing debris/invasive weeds from monitoring sites.
