The Rock Island, IL Ecological Services Field Office is looking to contract, preferably USFWS staff, the creation a GIS database (plus metadata) for 800 fish tissue chemistry data points from along the Middle Mississippi River. This work is to be completed at your workstation. Currently, most of the data are in Excel spreadsheets with coordinates. The database will be used to conduct an ecological risk assessment as part of a Natural Resources Damage Assessment. We would hope to create the database by Sept. 30, 2007. Salaries/benefits, any travel, and indirect costs are reimbursable. Please contact Mike Coffey at 309-757-5800 x206 or michael_coffey@fws.gov if interested. Thanks. ...Mike<br>
