About this file
This is a Request for Bid (RFB) specification document issued by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department for aerial stocking services of fingerling brook trout into remote ponds. The contractor must provide a helicopter with an experienced pilot to stock fingerling trout in 43 remote ponds located throughout central and northern New Hampshire, including areas in the White Mountains. The operation must be completed in early June within a 16-hour timeframe, encompassing pre-event and post-event duties such as setup, breakdown, and equipment cleaning. In addition to helicopter services, the contractor shall supply a fuel service truck at up to nine landing sites, an insulated, watertight fish transport and holding tank measuring 24"x24"x36" (approximately 20 gallons) equipped with an electrically powered aerator, and a flexible drain line with on/off capability. The pilot must collect and maintain ten water samples passed from an accompanying NHFGD representative during sorties. The operation requires specialized expertise in mountain terrain flying at elevations up to 4,000 feet, with the ability to safely descend to and ascend from pond surfaces in confined basins and deep chasms. The helicopter must be equipped with fixed floats for water landings.
The contractor must complete the stocking operation within one day unless weather delays occur, in which case the contractor assumes all associated costs for meals and lodging. The contractor is responsible for all travel expenses to the starting destination in New Hampshire and return to their base location. The specifications indicate that sorties and pond coordinates are available upon request, though no specific pricing terms, set-aside requirements, award dates, or contract term details are provided in this specification document.
