1. Product Features

Salient Characteristics:

• Nine (9) fish screens o Total of 6 panels o Each panel shall measure 48-inches wide and 80 inches long o Screens shall be constructed of metal suitable for submersion in water (stainless steel or aluminum) o Screen material shall be rounded bars to prevent injury to small fish (wedgewire style screens do not meet the requirement) o The aperture width between screens should be less than 1/2-inch o Screens shall be mounted in metal frames

Capabilities: The USFWS is seeking to purchase fish screens that will prevent fish from entering a water control structure into a wetland site. The screens must fit in an existing frame on the control structure, dimensions listed below. The screens should be constructed of metal suitable for submersion in water, preferably aluminum for weight concerns. The screen material should be rounded bars to prevent injury to smaller fish that can pass through the screen gaps—wedge wire style screens do not meet this requirement. The aperture width between screen bars should be less than ½-inch, i.e. the screen should exclude fish wider than ½”-inch. The screens should be mounted on metal frames that will allow their installation into the existing water control structure, dimensions listed below.

• The screens must consist of 6 panels, with each panel measuring 48-inches wide and 80-inches long.
