The Bureau of Reclamation awarded two engineering contracts for architect-engineering services for fish habitat improvement projects in the Pacific Northwest Region.

Anchor Environmental, L.L.C., Kirkland WA, and Jones & Stokes, Bellevue WA received the contract awards that range up to a $5 million each. The work will include assistance with planning, permitting, hydraulic engineering and modeling, and preparation of designs for fish passage and habitat improvement structures.

The contracts, which were awarded on April 17, will primarily support the efforts of the Columbia/Snake River Salmon Recovery Office which coordinates fish habitat improvement projects for salmon and steelhead in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The contract work may also be used for other similar programs within Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Region.
