59 -- RADIO-TELEMETRY REMOTE SYSTEM POC Contact Carla Pickering, Purchasing Agent, (801) 524-3555, Technical Contact, Bob Norman (970) 248-0634 This procurement is a attempt to sole source to Lotek Engineering Inc. Lotek Engineering has developed a digitally encoded radio system that has the design features unavailable from other manufacturers. The encoding system use a pulse coded design that allows up to 100 tags to be used simultaneously per frequency. Under this system, qualification of codes by pulse width is no longer necessary, thus enhancing the ability to accurately identify each individual fish. The power savings inherent in this design is used for: higher peak outputs (thereby increasing range) and producing a smaller size tag with longer operational life. Using the smallest tag available (with maximum range of tag life) is essential when implanting these tags in endangered fish. Another advantage of this encoding design is the use of different pulse codes under one frequency eliminates sequential scanning of different frequencies; therefore, increasing accuracy by eliminating delays in scan time. The pulse coded radio system has features critical to the application at Redlands Fish Ladder. Lotek Engineering Inc., is the only manufacturer of this type of equipment. ITEM NO. 1.
