General Scope for

Background Information:

The newly constructed Mud Mountain Dam (MMD) Fish Passage Facility (FPF) was put into service in 2021. The purpose of the FPF is to provide means of capturing live salmonids and transporting them to a release location upstream of the dam. The new FPF was constructed because the existing Fish Trap and trucking operation could not keep up with the increasing fish numbers mostly caused by population growth of pink salmon. The new FPF was supplied with five, 5200 gallon, fish transport trailers. During the peak of the fish run, typically starting in

August and concluding in October, the employees at the FPF do not have the staffing or the equipment necessary to haul all five trailers. A contract will be set up to supplement the government’s effort in transporting the fish transport trailers loaded with live fish.

Physical address of the MMD Fish Passage Facility is:

25305 SE Mud Mountain RD

Enumclaw WA, 98022

Services to be provided are:

Contractor shall provide up to 3 trucks with drivers for the performance of the work described below. Each truck must be capable of working up to 12 hours in a single day.

Trucking needs will vary day to day depending on factors such as fish run size, fish trap attraction success rate, equipment breakdowns, weather, etc. During peak operations, all 3 trucks may be utilized, working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. During slower periods, the number of trucks may vary between 0 and 3.

Government will determine the number of trucks required for each day. Contractor will be given

24-hour notice for truck mobilization(s). Contractor will be given 12-hour notice for truck demobilization(s).

Inability to meet the mobilization and demobilization requirements stated above will be grounds for termination of the contract.

• At the FPF, fill the fish transport trailer with water

Government employees will assist with filling fish transport trailers with water, loading of fish, and releasing of fish. Drivers may remain in their trucks during these tasks.

During the transportation of live fish, the drivers are required to monitor the dissolved oxygen levels within the fish transport trailer. When necessary, drivers shall make adjustments to maintain acceptable levels. This shall be performed via an electronic tablet device that is remotely synced to the trailer. The tablet will be handed to the driver upon coupling to the fish transport trailer. Need for adjustments is anticipated to be minimal.

Total distance for a round trip between the FPF and the Release Site is approximately 25 miles.
