Vendors must submit capability statements by December 30, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. PST. The contract includes up to two possible extensions.
The contract value is $250,000, drawn from proviso funding of $700,000 allocated for the 2023-2025 biennium. HBR was selected as the sole source contractor due to their unique specialization in capturing fish from large inland lakes and their successful completion of a 2023 pilot project in Lake Washington. They are noted as the only contractor with this specific experience currently operating in the Pacific Northwest and have a proven track record with other State and Federal natural resource management agencies for similar fish capture services.

SOLE SOURCE POSTING
1) A description of the purpose and scope of the contract: The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) contemplates awarding a sole source contract to the Hickey Brothers Research. (https://www.baileysharborfishcompany.com) to provide services as they relate to predatory (fish) removal from Lake Washington. This contract is needed to implement a Legislative Proviso passed in the 2023 Legislative session with the intent of rebuilding salmon runs in the Lake Washington basin. The Lake Washington sockeye population has experienced precipitous declines in recent years and is currently in a state of crisis, with little hope for recovery without management intervention. Predation on juvenile salmon by predatory fish species during rearing and migration is a key factor limiting salmon survival and recovery in the Lake Washington basin. The Washington State Legislature recognized the importance of this issue and passed a Proviso bill during the 2023 Legislative session providing $700,000.00 in funding for the 2023-2025 biennium to “initiate a demonstration project to contribute to rebuilding of salmon runs in the Lake Washington basin through suppression of predatory fish species.” A primary element of the Legislative Proviso calls for “Removal of nonnative species and northern pike minnow using trap, nets, or other means;”. The contract with Hickey Brothers Research (HBR) is necessary to implement this element of the Legislative Proviso.
2) The criteria or rationale justifying the sole source contract: Hickey Brothers Research (HBR) is a unique contractor and specializes in capturing fish from large inland lakes like Lake Washington.
