REVISED STATEMENT OF WORK 7/29/2021

Title: Fabrication and delivery of one aluminum, collapsible culvert trap for polar bears.

Delivery: 6/30/2022

Background: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in conjunction with the University of Washington and the Wrangel Island State Nature Reserve is currently working to expand its polar bear research program to land based captures on Wrangel Island in summer and fall. A summer capture and tagging effort, using satellite tags will provide an opportunity to collect information needed to address data gaps in habitat use and denning for the Alaska-Chukotka subpopulation of polar bears. Data collected through this work will provide stand-alone information on patterns of habitat use, movement, distribution, and potential denning behavior needed to enable a proactive approach to further understand the role of Wrangel Island in the life history of polar bears in this subpopulation that will enable the U.S. to meet international treaty obligations as well as facilitate effective co-management.

Because this study will target individuals using the landscape, we need a culvert trap that can be broken down into smaller, lighter pieces and transported throughout remote areas in the Arctic.

Standard culvert traps are big and bulky and can weigh up to 500 lbs. They will not fit into small airplanes and therefore will not work for this particular project.

Goal/Objective To fabricate one aluminum culvert bear trap made of six individual segments.

Tasks: To fabricate one high grade aluminum culvert trap made of six individual segments plus the two ends that can be used to capture large polar weighing up to 1300lbs. The entire trap should be fastened together with cam-locks. All cam-locks and fasteners should be huck-riveted. No loose bolts or nuts should be used in its construction or assembly. Assembly hardware should be permanently attached to the larger components with huck-riveted construction. The six individual segments should be approximately 5 feet long by 48 inches wide. The entry door should be framed 54 inches square. The entry door’s frame should fold down flat to the dismantled trap. One window opening of ½” stainless steel mesh with a darting port should be built into each end and two built into each side. The total weight should be approximately 400 lbs. The tube diameter x length should be 4’ x 10’. The entire dismantled trap should be capable of being transported in a 16’ rubber raft or boat in one trip.

Traps need to be delivered to:

US Fish and Wildlife Service Marine Mammals Management Office, MS 341 ATTN: Gov POC (name to be provided upon contract award) Anchorage, Alaska 99503

Deliverables:

a) One aluminum culvert trap with the above specifications delivered to the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service in Anchorage, Alaska.

b) The vendor must provide detailed photos of the door, the A-frame, the side windows with darting ports, the assembly hardware, and a complete, assembled trap upon acceptance of the bid.

Award to be based on Best Value to the government.
