Patrol Services Upper Johnstone Strait & Mainland Inlets

Solicitation number F5211-170090

Publication date

Closing date and time 2017/11/01 14:00 EDT


    Description

    Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has a requirement to conduct Salmon Patrol Services stream enumeration surveys by swimming or on-foot in Pacific Fishery Management Areas 12 to 13 (Johnstone Strait & Mainland Inlets).

    The intent is to establish a standing offer for each patrol area so that the contractor can be called up to provide services on an as and when required basis. The inclusion of estimated days per year in the cost proposal document is not a commitment by DFO. It is anticipated that resource managers will endeavour to be in contact with contractors to discuss an upcoming season and what possible level of effort may be considered so that contractors can plan their business accordingly. These discussions are not a commitment or guarantee by DFO to call up or contract for these estimates.

    Standing offers are not a guarantee of business and Fisheries and Oceans Canada is not obligated to use these services.

    Standing Offer Dates

    January 1, 2018 through to December 31, 2022

    Contract Area of Operation

    Project work for a patrol area will be specified by the Resource Manager each year.

    Background, Assumptions and Specific Scope of the Requirement

    Patrol operators collect data on catch monitoring activities needed by fisheries managers to make sound in-season fisheries management decisions. Fisheries managers rely on patrol operators to be on the fishing grounds where real time information can be collected on the activities of the fishing fleets.

    Salmon enumeration information is important for the determination of stock status and abundance of salmon species in the specified area. The optimal way of determining salmon escapement is by enumerating the salmonid species in the particular system(s). This will be completed by bank walk, stream walk and/or swims of the particular stream, the particular method of traversing the stream and enumerating the salmonid contained in it will be stream dependent (i.e. in shallow slides you walk, in deep pools you swim - experienced stream walkers will have the expertise in order to make those determinations over the course of the stream assessment).

    The contractor must have the ability to assess salmon stocks, report on fishing activities, collect and provide catch statistics, conduct stream inventories, and collect biological samples. In addition, they must possess the tools and equipment to conduct the work.

    Objectives of the Requirement

    The contractor will be required to provide the services, information, and equipment at the frequency and in the manner herein described. This is to be carried out as independently as is efficiently feasible. No direction, supervision, or other assistance in addition to the stipulations of this statement of work, the initial annual mobilization meeting, and response to required progress reports will be provided by Fisheries and Oceans Canada unless necessitated by urgent, unforeseen events.

    The objectives are to collect catch information from commercial, recreational and aboriginal fisheries and to conduct extensive enumeration of salmon in river systems in Pacific Fisheries Management Areas 12 and 13 (as defined in the Pacific Fishery Management Area Regulations, 2007). Fisheries information will be used in-season by DFO fisheries management staff to actively manage commercial, recreational and aboriginal fisheries. Stream enumeration information will be used by DFO stock assessment staff to provide an indication of individual stock status as well as the abundance of salmon species in the area. Information is to be delivered to DFO in-person, by e-mail, by secure radio, or by phone, depending on the nature of the data being delivered.

    Fisheries and Oceans Canada requires an informational database in order to make quality fishery management decisions. The contractor’s role in this regard is to provide or disseminate the information outlined below as applicable to your patrol area. You are expected to use methods that are effective and efficient. Forms that will be provided must be fully completed, and where no standard format is provided, information must be presented in a clear, concise manner that facilitates incorporation into the Fisheries and Oceans Canada database.
