Questions and Responses for RFQ EA-133F-17-RQ-0069

Question 1: Can you specify what information of the species caught needs to be recorded (e.g.

weights, lengths, number, type, etc.)?

Response: Lengths needs to be tested by number of individuals and type are most critical.

Question 2: Is the government looking for a system that collects the depth as part of the continuous meta data stream along with the vessel position, date and time during the entire tow or is the intent to collect depth at the end of each haul? Could the depth be added during the analysis phase?

Response: Depth is not a required data field.

Question 3: Can an electronic reporting log be used by the vessel master in conjunction with electronic monitoring tools to record the species caught and the disposition of the released species?

Response: No, we are developing an independent method of recording bycatch outside the vessel logbooks.

Question 4: The video equipment specifications request waterproof armored dome cameras.

1. Are other camera housings acceptable as long as they have been designed and proven for the marine environment (e.g., housings with an ingress protection rating 66/68?

2. Is the specified brand of image sensor (Sony) required or is another brand acceptable as long as all other specifications are met or surpassed.

Response: (1) Yes. (2) Brand is not important.

Question 5: Is the use of rapid capture high definition still image camera an acceptable alternative to video as long as we can demonstrate that all catch handling is captured?
