The following have been added by full text:
AMENDMENT 0002
CLIN 0001 Hours Revision CLIN 0001 is revised. The hours are revised to match the PWS.
PWS Revision.
PWS 4.1.11 is revised.
o Only one 7 pin trailer connector is needed.
Questions Asked During Site Visit Is the truck height requirement of max 13ft flexible?
o There is no flexibility in this, 13ft is the max.
What would happen if a truck broke down while hauling fish?
o Immediately radio it in. Full hauls take priority over empty ones. So, if needed to, unhook an empty trailer and sending that truck to pick up the full one. Picking up the empty later after coordinating to do so.
Given how narrow the unload fish site trial is, how to communicate with incoming and outgoing trucks?
o A radio channel will be set to communicate for trucks going in and out of release site as to not create a traffic jam. This is very key due to that there will be more than just your trucks going in and out of the release site. We have our own Truck & Trailer running as well as smaller trucks as well.
Will drivers have to get out at the release site to unload the fish?
o No, we will have a staff member assigned there to release the fish. They will be double checking inside the trailers to make sure all fish are out before you can leave. So communication with them is key and make sure it is all clear before driving back.
Parking trucks on site?
o Parking can be created to leave trucks at the Fish Passage Facility, either by making a parking space for them or even leaving them hooked up to the trailers.

Performance Work Statement
Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility Fish Transportation
Summer 2025
1. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: Provide all plant, labor, tools, and equipment and perform all work in strict accordance with this Performance Work Statement, all Federal, State and Local codes and regulations and all applicable industry standards to:
Provide trucking services for the transport of live fish from the Mud Mountain Dam Fish Passage Facility, located on the White River, to the Fish Release Site.
2. 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 site located upstream of the dam. The new FPF was constructed because the existing fish trap and trucking operation could not keep up with the increasing numbers mostly caused by population growth of pink salmon. The new FPF was supplied with five, 5,200 gallon trailers, for the transportation of fish. 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. This PWS is set up to supplement the government’s effort in transporting fish during the peak of the fish run.
