TITLE: Vessel charter to carry out trawl surveys for snow crab populations on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.
TRADE AGREEMENTS: The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT:
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada requires of the Contractor to provide the following:
- Completing one trawl tow at each predetermined station according to the snow crab trawling protocol. A total of 355 sampling stations will be predetermined and presented to the Contractor prior to the survey (or when renewing the contract) by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).
- The sampling will be done using a 20-meter Norway lobster trawl provided by DFO.
The work at each station will only be considered complete when a trawl tow has been successfully done. A successful trawl tow is a five (5) minute tow with no tearing of the trawl, in which the trawl behaves normally, as observed by an independent acoustic system, regardless of the amount of crab caught. The DFO project leader on board will verify and confirm the success of each tow.
