- Description
- The National Marine Fisheries Service, Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering Division has a requirement for a trawl vessel to conduct studies of gear performance and fish behavior in trawls, as well as studies of trawl modifications to reduce effects on seafloor habitat features. The charter will consist of 10 days of charter, with an option for the Government to extend the contract for up to 12 additional charter days. This is a multi-year charter, which can be extended for similar work for any of the three subsequent years at the Government's option. Activities may include both pelagic and bottom trawling (the vessel may return to port to change gear if necessary). Some tows may result in capture of commercial amounts of groundfish. The contractor will arrange the handling and sale of any such fish, deducting proceeds of such sales from the charter fee. Studies may also include towing a camera/sonar sled across the seafloor at speeds as slow as 2 knots. The vessel must have the capability to navigate designated tow paths at such a slow speed. The first period of charter will be a 1-2 day gear test during September 2007. Exact timing of this test can be very flexible. The remainder of the work will occur between May 1 and September 30, 2008. The proposed contract is subject to full and open competition. Solicitation documents will be made available for download on or about July 24, 2007. Paper copies of this solicitation will not be issued.
