About this file

This document contains the specifications for Tier 3 GPS radio-collars for the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). The Tier 3 radio-collars must be capable of collecting a minimum of 6 GPS locations per day with a battery life of 36 months, and include a mortality sensor and optional drop-off mechanism. Optional features include a virtual fence and the ability to collect data from nearby UHF-enabled devices. The data will be available in real-time via the Iridium satellite network and accessible through a web-based portal. This requirement is associated with a state and local contract opportunity for Wildlife Tracking Collars, which includes the jurisdictions of Washoe County and the City of Reno. The pricing for the optional items will not be considered in the bid award, and the state may choose to order these items separately on an as-needed basis. The vendor must provide a metal tag/label to be secured on the collar with contact information for the Nevada Department of Wildlife.

TIER THREE TRANSMITTERS

GPS radiocollar capable of collecting a minimum of 6 locations per day with battery life lasting ≥ 36 months with a built-in mortality sensor and optional drop-off mechanism. Optional features of the Tier 3 Radio-collar may include a virtual fence or geo-fencing feature allowing user to program a geo-referenced boundary that will modify GPS fix schedule based on animal’s proximity to boundary. Tier 3 Radio-collar may also be capable of collecting and transmitting information from nearby UHF-enabled devices (e.g., Vaginal Implants, Mortality Implants, or Neonate Collars. Data will be available real-time via Iridium network and accessible via web-based data portal.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GPS fix schedule
≤ 6 times/day
GPS Satellite system
Iridium
VHF schedule
8-12 hours/day
VHF frequency band width
159.000 - 161.000 or 216.000 – 220.000 or 225.000. Specific frequencies to be provided once vendor is selected
Mortality mode and sensor setting
12 hours after no activity, collar will switch to mortality mode and email or text message sent to user
Overall battery life

Software and Internet Portal for viewing and accessing GPS and sensor data
Allow all or part of the GPS fix history of a collar to be viewed over Google Earth satellite imagery either in a stand-alone web interface or by downloading a KML file from a data portal. Data portal would also provide access to GPS and sensor data viewable in spreadsheet form
Identification Tag
Provide a metal tag/label to secure on collar with the following printed: “DO NOT CUT Please return to Nevada Department of Wildlife (775) 688-1500”
