Bassoon is written in concert pitch, meaning that when it plays a c or any other note, that is the pitch that actuallu comes out. Bass clarinet, however, is in b-flat, meaning when it plays a c, a pitch two half steps lower(a major second) comes out, which is b-flat. Therefore, "transpose" the bassoon part into treble clef and then take it up a major second (two half steps) to write out the clarinet part.
