SUBSEA TRAWL

Salient characteristics

BACKGROUND:

The intent of these specifications is to describe the general design and function required for a subsea in-trawl imaging system (ITIS) with a fully integrated high-resolution camera and LED light system with depth trigger, articulating net mount and additional specifications described below. The intended use of the ITIS is to support scientific studies being conducted by the US Geological Survey - Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) to assess abundance and distribution of the offshore prey fish community in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Assessments are based on annual demersal and pelagic trawl surveys that track prey fish population trends over time. Trawl operations are fundamental to these assessments, and therefore, understanding of trawl performance and the behavior of fishes around trawls are critical components of reliably comparable estimates. Current trawl mensuration equipment provides low-resolution (1 reading/5-10 sec) tracking of net metrics such as depth, spread, and temperature, but no visual confirmation of trawl performance, bottom contact, or fish behavior. Attempts to attach stand-alone cameras (e.g., go-pro or drop cameras) have been informative, but limited to shallow (<20m) water in only the calmest of conditions. A rugged subsea in-trawl imaging system is necessary for eyes-on evaluation of trawl performance across the range of depths sampled, allowing for confirmation of bottom contact, estimation of trawl escapement, and analysis of fish behavior around trawls.

The TIS must be self-contained, with high-resolution (≥12mp/1080p) camera, internal rechargeable battery (12+ hour runtime), and on-board programmable LED lighting, capable of collecting clear and well-lit images with sufficient resolution to discern patterns and shapes of organisms and objects as small as 3 cm.

The primary mode of deployment will be attached to trawl equipment, either on the headrope, footrope, or throat of the net. Therefore, it is necessary that the ITIS be portable, easy-to-handle in rough sea conditions, and streamlined to prevent snags during deployment or while interacting with net reels. The ITIS must be capable of wireless configuration and download, including aiming, once attached to the net. Numerous attachment configurations, and an adjustable, articulating camera with integrated lighting are critical components for aiming at trawl components of interest at depth. Finally, it is imperative that the TIS be rugged and able to sustain jarring and jostling typical to (1) open-deck conditions in rough waters; and (2) subsea trawling conditions at depths <300m. All specifications listed below must be included in the base quote sub-total as specified.

Instructions to Offerors

1 Provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for each commercially available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) item offered through this contract. Create the ACR using the

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.1 or later, located at https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat. Complete each ACR in accordance with the instructions provided in the VPAT template. Each ACR must address the applicable Section 508 requirements referenced in the Work Statement. Each ACR shall state exactly how the ICT meets the applicable standards in the remarks/explanations column, or through additional narrative. All

"Not Applicable" (N/A) responses must be explained in the remarks/explanations column or through additional narrative. Address each standard individually and with specificity, and clarify whether conformance is achieved throughout the entire ICT Item (for example - user functionality, administrator functionality, and reporting), or only in limited areas of the ICT Item. Provide a description of the evaluation methods used to support Section 508 conformance claims. The agency reserves the right, prior to making an award decision, to perform testing on some or all of the

Offeror’s proposed ICT items to validate Section 508 conformance claims made in the ACR.

2 Describe your approach to incorporating universal design principles to ensure ICT products or services are designed to support disabled users.

3 Describe plans for features that do not fully conform to the Section 508 Standards.

Acceptance Criteria

1 Prior to acceptance, the government reserves the right to perform testing on required ICT items to validate the offeror’s Section 508 conformance claims. If the government determines that Section

508 conformance claims provided by the offeror represent an inaccurate level of conformance than what is actually delivered to the agency, the government shall, at its option, require the offeror to remediate the delivered item to align with the required Section 508 conformance claims prior to acceptance.
